Perched atop 5.8 private, gated acres and surrounded by breathtaking 360-degree mountain views, this extraordinary five-bedroom East Tennessee residence offers refined mountain living, remarkable versatility, and exceptional privacy. The home includes a private guest apartment currently operated as a successful short-term rental, providing flexibility as an in-law suite, extended-family accommodations, or continued income-producing space. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, an unforgettable summer retreat, or a property with rental potential, this one-of-a-kind home is less than 15 minutes from Watauga Lake, scenic hiking trails, and Elizabethton--and less than 25 minutes from Johnson City. The home's striking exterior combines durable Hardie board siding and natural stone, creating a timeless mountain aesthetic that blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Inside, soaring ceilings, thoughtful architectural details, and expansive Pella windows and doors frame the magnificent views from nearly every angle. Heated, polished concrete floors extend throughout the main level, offering both comfort and distinctive contemporary style. The spacious dining room features an oversized sliding glass door that opens the interior to the surrounding landscape, creating an unforgettable setting for entertaining. From there, the home flows into the spectacular kitchen and great room. The kitchen is centered around an oversized island with granite countertops, generous workspace, abundant cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The adjoining great room is anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace with gas logs, while soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings add warmth, texture, and architectural character. Just off the great room, a four-season sunroom provides the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or take in the peaceful surroundings year-round. Conveniently located on the main level, the oversized primary suite offers a truly private retreat. A large sliding glass door overlooks the outdoor living area and custom gunite saltwater pool and spa. The ensuite bathroom features dual vanities, a massive walk-in concrete shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. An additional secondary bedroom is also located on the main level, along with a well-appointed laundry room with utility sink and access to the two-car garage. Upstairs, an open overlook captures views of the great room below and the surrounding mountains. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with dual vanities. The upper level also offers future potential to connect directly to the private guest apartment. The outdoor living spaces feel as though they were taken directly from the pages of a luxury design magazine. A beautiful covered pavilion and substantial stone outdoor fireplace create an inviting destination for relaxing and entertaining. The custom gunite saltwater pool and spa combination offers a private resort-style experience surrounded by the exceptionally manicured grounds and mountain scenery. Located at the rear of the home with its own private exterior entrance, the approximately 550-square-foot guest apartment includes a private bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. It is ideally suited for extended family, visiting guests, a caretaker, or continued short-term rental use, subject to applicable regulations. Additional features include poured-concrete construction, a whole-house water-filtration system, south-facing orientation, an established chicken coop, and abundant acreage for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the serenity of the mountains. Offering a rare combination of privacy, luxury, versatility, and income potential, this exceptional mountain retreat captures THE VERY BEST of East Tennessee living! *The septic system is permitted for three bedrooms.
