Escape the ordinary and retreat into the extraordinary. You will find nothing on the market that compares to this rustic, yet opulent retreat. All the creature comforts of a luxury home in a rustic lodge setting that overlooks the spectacular Appalachian Mountains and Watauga lake. Views that only the eagles and hawks enjoyed up until now. Catch your breath after taking in the views from the wrap around deck and step inside to the family room that offers a 2-story vaulted ceiling featuring a dramatic rock fireplace extending centrally up to rafters, that offers dueling fires from not only the Family room area through to the kitchen and dining area, but in the second floor loft turned game room. Knotty pine tongue and groove walls throughout spread warmth and the feel of mountain living complimented by a combination of hardwood and slate flooring. The fully equipped kitchen offers a gas range and is perfect for entertaining. Each bedroom offers an en suite bathroom, with an additional guest bath downstairs off the kitchen. Three oversized bedrooms, each with it's own private balcony for enjoying views of Watauga Lake and the Appalacian Mountain Range. Tankless hot water heater, themostat controled blue flame heat technology in the Master bedroom and garage. If getting away from it all, while also having it all was your dream, this is truly the home for you, or vacation home for you. Iron works created by the master iron worker and builder of this fabulous retreat home, none-other than the owner of Appalachian Iron Works. In fact, the gate that greets you upon arrival is his work as well, and used to be the entry gate to the 330-acre mountain-top development, Heartwood community. HOA's.
