Watauga Homes with Outdoor Kitchen Exterior Features

Two separate homes on 9.68 acres in Deep Gap, bordering the Blue Ridge Parkway, with a bold trout creek running the length of the property. Most of the land is cleared and usable, with hardwoods up top for privacy. No HOA, no zoning. Main home, built 2008: 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a loft in about 2,900 finished square feet. Vaulted great room with a stone gas fireplace, granite-and-stainless kitchen, hardwood flooring, heat pump with central air, and a finished walk-out lower level with its own full bath and separate entrance, ideal as an in-law suite or guest space. Never rented. Log cabin, built 2011: 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, about 1,025 square feet, with a vaulted beamed great room, hickory kitchen with an island, and a covered porch over the creek. Its own driveway, septic, electric, and fiber, plus a 5.0-star Airbnb history and a documented long-term lease. Both homes have private well water with whole-house UV filtration, tested each year, and high-speed fiber. Three permitted septic systems, one for each home and one for the campsite. Outside: a pavilion with an outdoor kitchen and a 7-person hot tub, two full-hookup RV sites with their own water, a large outbuilding with concrete floor and a built-in chicken coop, a second coop, a powered she-shed, a fire pit, and a graded road and land bridge linking the two homes. The land has carried and collaborated with neighbors on free-range chickens, cattle, and a garden. About 20-25 minutes from Boone and Appalachian State, 25 minutes from West Jefferson and Wilkesboro, just off US Highway 421. The FEMA AE flood area covers only the lower ground by the creek (outbuilding and pavilion); both homes sit outside it. 2025 taxes $3,220.83, parcel 2869-29-9586-000. The homes sit on two deeded tracts, about 8.2 acres with the main home and about 1.5 acres with the cabin, offered together as one compound. Showings by appointment only, no drive-bys; the driveway is a long private gravel road, so 4WD or AWD is recommended.
