Just minutes from Watauga Lake and the Sink Mountain boat ramp, 1212 Dry Hill Road presents a rare opportunity to own a fully furnished mountain retreat with broad lifestyle and investment appeal. Now offered at an improved price of $425,000, this 1,960-square-foot residence sits on a level lot with a grassy backyard, paved circular drive and expansive outdoor living spaces overlooking serene mountain and pastoral views. Designed for comfort and flexibility, the home is officially permitted as a two-bedroom yet offers two additional sleeping areas or flex spaces ideal for office use or overflow accommodations. The main-level primary suite features dual walk-in closets and a spacious en-suite bath with a garden tub and walk-in shower. Vaulted ceilings crown the great room, where a two-story stone propane fireplace and handcrafted mountain laurel railings create a rustic yet refined aesthetic. Hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas, and the open-concept floor plan integrates the living, dining and entertaining spaces seamlessly.

A one-car garage and additional basement storage offer functionality, while modern conveniences include high-speed fiber internet through Skyline Skybest and public water via Mountain City. Just around the corner from Villanova Winery and moments to all Watauga Lake has to offer, this residence also offers excellent short-term and long-term rental potential. Furnishings convey with minor exclusions, making it an effortless option for investment or personal enjoyment.
