Here is a property you can make your own, overlooking Watauga Lake. No builder-grade flip here; these are grandma's houses, ready for you to make them pretty again. This 5.9-acre offering is sold entirely as-is and includes 4.157 acres of lake and wetlands, plus two residences, a general store, and outbuildings. The general store is currently in disrepair -- do not enter. Main house: 1,352 sq ft, 3 bed/1 bath, multiple flex rooms, built 1953. Second home , ''The Old Butler cottage'': approx. 3 bed/1 bath, needs total renovation -- ready to be reimagined. According to family history, the store and house once stood by Roan Creek and the old railroad tracks, until Watauga Lake's creation forced their move in 1948 -- the store cut into four sections, the house rebuilt. The store operated until around 1990. Live in the main house while renovating the cottage, with rental income potential. Best lake views are from the right-hand porch but you have the lake lot just across the road.
