Description

BY NO MEANS SHOULD THE LIST PRICE BE CONSIDERED THE ASKING PRICE, STARTING BID OR THE FINAL CONTRACT PRICE. PRICE GIVEN TO BE ABLE TO POPULATE TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITE PROVIDERS. THIS IS A LIVE AUCTION EVENT: Bring your vision and your toolbox! This 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage sits on a beautiful 2-acre lot just outside Elizabethton, surrounded by towering mature shade trees and rolling mountain views in every direction. Built in 1945, the home needs a total renovation, but the bones are here and the setting is truly special: a quiet, paved country road, open green pasture, and a peaceful valley backdrop that's hard to find. With the region's steady draw of visitors heading to Watauga Lake, Roan Mountain, the Appalachian Trail, and nearby Johnson City, this property has strong potential as an Airbnb or short-term rental rehab. Picture a refreshed cottage with a rocking-chair front porch, string lights in the shade trees, and sunsets over the mountains. It's equally suited to a personal mountain retreat or a long-term investment hold. Features include public water, older septic system, a covered front porch, and minimal flood-risk designation. Low annual property taxes help keep holding costs down while you renovate. Opportunities like this, with acreage, privacy, and views this close to town, don't come along often.
