Perched above the Watauga River and surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, this property delivers a one-of-a-kind riverside escape. Picture yourself arriving at your fully furnished, mountain-contemporary cabin, featuring cathedral-style vaulted ceilings, beautiful wood floors throughout, and stylish industrial finishes. The expansive outdoor living space includes wrap-around covered and open decks, a hot tub overlooking the river, two fire pits for evening gatherings, a serene fishing pond, and over 440 ft of your own private stretch of river that's perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking, or just listening to the babbling rapids. Inside, the great room is perfect for gathering and entertaining with multiple seating areas and soaring windows streaming in the natural light. The kitchen features granite countertops, soft-close cabinets and drawers, a large island with seating, stainless steel appliances, a six-burner gas stove, and two ovens. Each of the three bedrooms has a spa-like ensuite bath to make every morning a five-star experience. The detached two car garage includes a separate laundry and storage space, plus an upstairs bonus room equipped with a pool table, entertainment center, foosball, kitchenette, sleeper sofa and a fourth full bath. The river’s rapids can be heard throughout the property, and a thoughtfully designed path makes getting to the water easy. Two stone fire pits await your evening gatherings, with one right by the cabin and the other overlooking the river. You also enjoy access rights to a shared riverfront common area, shared by only four properties, with a grassy area for lounging and a picnic and grill station. Spend your day on the river or visit one of the nearby towns or attractions, including Boone, Blowing Rock, and Beech Mountain in NC, Damascus and Abingdon in VA, and Bristol and Johnson City in TN. Conveniently located just 35 minutes to Tweetsie, Appalachian Ski Mountain, Hawksnest Snow Tubing, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, and Grandfather Mountain, and only 25 minutes to Watauga Lake with gorgeous parks, pontoon rentals, and fishing. Rental history available. A portion of the back deck is in the flood zone and seller maintains flood insurance. No Helene damage. This is mountain living at its finest. Come see this property today!
