The perfect blend of life on the farm and a serene setting surrounded by all the natural beauty and commanding views of Watauga Lake silhouetted by the Cherokee National Forest. The Wow factor surrounding this property is simply amazing! The brand new, custom-built, modern farmhouse features soaring ceilings with walls of windows to absorb pastoral views from every room. Over 2,900+ sq ft of one level living with lavishly appointed amenities such as hand hewn beams on the fireplace and hood, stone antique sinks, antique doors, bleached antique vanities and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. A gourmet kitchen with top-of the-line luxury appliances, including an ILVE European range, Viking microwave, large walk-in pantry with appliance garage and an immense island that will rival any seen before. Offering plenty of privacy, the split floor plan provides a master suite on one wing of the home and two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths on the other. Showcasing the home is the expansive covered back porch with a picturesque view that provides a peaceful, serene, even mesmerizing experience. Included within the gates are over 45+ acres of rolling, fenced pasture, three barns, a chicken coop, shed and an historic GI Farm Shop. After WWII veterans from the area who wanted to learn about farming attended an Ag school in the GI FARM SHOP. The building, roughly 1900 square feet, has a workshop in the front where they would learn the mechanics of farming and farm implements. The back was a classroom space for instruction in the science of farming. The building now serves as a workshop with concrete floor and is perked with the ability to add a 1BR/1BA with kitchenette to accommodate an AirBnB, farm manager or caretaker cottage. Unlimited potential for creating a private retreat, venue or investment property with ample space to add small cabins. Idyllic location with close proximity to four vineyards, several surrounding marinas on Watauga Lake where you can enjoy water sports and fishing. Ski resorts nearby in Boone and Banner Elk, and hiking, biking and ATV trails for the outdoor enthusiasts. Centrally located within short driving distances to the Tri-Cities, Abingdon and Boone that offer all the conveniences. To provide a turn-key experience, the majority of furnishings are able to convey with an acceptable offer. All the work has been done for the next owner to step in, sit back and simply enjoy the beauty of life on the farm!
