PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

A turnkey 15-acre horse operation with a custom log home, bordering the Cherokee National Forest with direct Appalachian Trail access on Cross Mountain Road — thousands of acres of protected wilderness at your fingertips, and panoramic Blue Ridge views in every direction. THE EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES The spacious horse barn is fully insulated and heated with a wood-burning stove, featuring 11 interior and 2 exterior stalls, a 24x12 tack room, an electrical room, automatic water feeders, and an open hay loft. Acres of fully fenced pasture provide ample turnout. A separate 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath guest cottage — with covered front porch and enclosed sunroom overlooking the pastures — is ideal for visitors, extended family, or caretaker quarters. Trail access and miles of national forest riding begin right at the property. THE LOG HOME Crafted from massive, hand-hewn logs, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers two bedrooms and two baths on the main level and two bedrooms with one bath on the lower level. Soaring vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, Tiger Wood hardwood floors, full-log support columns, and a handcrafted staircase with twig railings showcase the craftsmanship. A floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace anchors the great room, where walls of windows and French doors open to covered porches and frame the mountains. The chef's kitchen features designer granite, a professional gas range, custom cabinetry, large island, and walk-in pantry; the formal dining room seats eight. The main-level primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath with tiled walk-in steam shower, and a laundry room with built-in dog wash. The terrace level adds a second great room, exercise room, safe room, wine cellar, hobby/workshop room, in-home sauna, and a private guest suite with walkout access. SELF-SUFFICIENT BY DESIGN Generac generators, a well with high-capacity holding tank, water filtration and softening, tankless water heater, and a dedicated freezer room for long-term food storage. THE LAND & LOCATION 15 rolling acres with multiple covered porches framing sunrises, sunsets, and pastoral views; two-car garage, fire pit area, and meticulous landscaping. An optional adjoining 21+ acre tract with rustic log cabin is available. Watauga Lake's Cove Ridge Marina is about 24 minutes away and Holston Lake's Laurel Marina 27 minutes. Whether you envision a turnkey horse operation, private homestead, multi-generational retreat, or peaceful escape, this property adapts to your vision — a lifestyle opportunity that cannot be replicated. *Buyer/buyer's agent to verify all information.
