Quiet mountain top retreat with great mountain views. Minutes from trophy trout fishing, golf, snow skiing, the Appalachian Trail, Watauga Lake, Banner Elk, fine dining and more. Mountain Living doesn't get any better than this. You will be less than two miles from Roan Mountain State Park located on TN Hwy 143, at the base of the majestic 6,285 foot Roan Mountain, home of the World's largest natural Rhododendron garden and incredible panoramic mountain views (see http://www.roanmountain.com). At the bottom of the mountain, very close to our property, Roan Mountain State Park encompasses more than 2,000 acres dominated by rich hardwood forest along rugged ridges. The cool, clear Doe River winds its way through the center of the park and supports a healthy population of trout. State Park activities await you including heated pool, volleyball court, tennis and basketball courts, Ranger-led hikes, fly fishing the Doe river, music/performances in the amphitheater, etc. (see https://tnstateparks.com/parks/roan-mountain) Carvers Gap Trailhead for the Appalachian Trail is just minutes away.
