On six pristine acres along the Watauga River, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to own riverfront land with elevated building potential. Positioned above the floodplain, the rustic two-bedroom, three-bath cabin constructed of hand-hewn logs, features a lofted flex space and serves as an ideal retreat or future guest residence. The wood-burning stone fireplace creates a cozy ambiance. The property showcases a dynamic landscape that includes a tranquil meadow, wooded trails and multiple homesite possibilities, each offering privacy and scenic views. A short distance leads to private river access, ideal for fly-fishing or kayaking. With a blend of open terrain and higher elevation, this property is well-suited for outdoor recreation or long-term investment. Please note discrepancy between tax records and professional measurements. Seller purchased home with lower level finished and no permit located. Hot tub conveys but does not work. Seller has new electric box for the underground fence, and this will need to be installed by new owner. Home is owner-occupied and the owner has smoked in the home. Back door and baseboard heat in dining area need repairs. Upstairs bath requires a minor toilet part replacement and electrical light repair.
