About This Home
Your Watauga Lake Retreat Awaits! There are lake houses--and then there are places that truly let you enjoy the lake. Set on approximately one acre with beautiful views across the expansive waters of Watauga Lake, this inviting log cabin offers the setting, waterfront access, storage, and amenities to make lake living easy. The home features a warm, open floor plan designed around gathering with family and friends. The main level offers two comfortable bedrooms, while the spacious approximately 440-square-foot loft provides additional sleeping space, a half bath, and the character you expect from a true mountain lake cabin. Step outside onto the large composite deck and take in the views--an ideal spot for morning coffee, grilling after a day on the water, or simply watching the lake change with the seasons. The walk-out lower level adds approximately 1,100 square feet of garage and flexible space along with a full bathroom, providing plenty of room for lake gear, guests, hobbies, or recreation. And then there is the waterfront. A gently sloping lawn leads directly from the cabin to your private roofed dock, complete with boat lift, electricity, lighting, and updated winches and anchors. Keep the boat ready to go and spend your days cruising Watauga Lake, fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. For anyone who brings toys to the lake, this property is exceptionally well equipped. A 24' x 32' insulated detached metal building provides substantial workshop and storage space, while an additional 10' x 12' outbuilding offers convenient storage for kayaks, paddleboards, fishing equipment, and all the things that come with lake life. The property has also benefited from numerous thoughtful improvements, including replacement windows, a newer A/C unit, Generac whole-house LP generator with automatic transfer switch and 500-gallon propane tank, gas on-demand water heater, forced-air gas heat, fireplace insert/wood heater, whole-house humidifier, water softener, updated interior lighting, new refrigerator and dishwasher, and new front porch stairs and railing. Whether you're searching for a full-time lakefront home, a weekend escape, or the family cabin where summers are spent on the water, 2288 Norris Road offers something increasingly difficult to find on Watauga Lake: a true waterfront property with room to spread out, excellent storage, a private covered dock, and a cabin that's ready to enjoy. Come for the view. Stay for the lake. Buyer/Buyer's Agent to verify all information.
