Bring your kayak and paddle down to Watauga lake. One of the best fishing spots in the area. House sits up above the river and has a gentle path that leads to the water. Back porch overlooks Cherokee National Forest and Watson Island (an uninhabited island that divides the river). The cabin is really nice. The main floor is a great room with kitchen, living/dining areas and a full bath with clawfoot tub and laundry area. The hardwood floors on this level have been recently refinished. Upstairs there is one medium-sized bedroom and two small bedrooms and a half bath. This property is only 25 minutes to downtown Boone and is a great chance to own riverfront property at a reasonable price. House is only a 5 minute drive to Watauga Lake. Adjacent 1 acre tract also available. Broker Interest.
