Spectacular water and long range mountain views are yours in a private setting bordering the 655,000 acre Cherokee National Forest. This beautiful building site with amazing lake and mountain views is a prime investment for contractors. Build the home of your dreams in this quiet Watauga lakeside community where this three lot compound overlooks at the convergence of the Elk and Watauga rivers. That convergence now lies beneath the greater waters of Watauga Lake- one of the cleanest lakes in the county. Before the lake's creation, during the Civil War, the highest ground was sought to locate a surveillance site, known as Fort Hill. From this vantage point the activities of the three rivers could be observed to monitor the routes of troops and supplies. The lots are part of that historic effort and the remnants of the Civil War trenches are still evident as one walks a few feet into the bordering Cherokee National Forest. This convenient mid-lake location, which offers privacy and seclusion, has newly paved roads and remains easily accessible in all seasons to Hwy 321. This is a perfect location for preppers. Deeded lake access included.
