🆕 JUST LISTED — and this one's rare. Almost 10 acres on Watauga Lake, with no HOA, no subdivision, and no restrictions. 🏔️
TBD Atwood Point, Butler, TN | $399,000
Acreage like this on the water doesn't come up often around here. It's nearly 10 acres with lake frontage, and there's nothing standing between you and how you want to use it — no covenants, no architectural committee, no annual dues.
Here's the part lake buyers will want to know: TVA has confirmed this parcel has the property rights to apply for a dock permit — so the possibility of your own dock on Watauga is on the table (buyer to pursue and verify the permit process with TVA).
The ground itself is the interesting part. There are level spots that make building simple, rolling benches tucked into the hillside, and steeper wooded slopes in places that add privacy and tree cover. Mature hardwoods and white pine cover it, with mountain and water views that open up as you clear. Ten acres is enough to do more than put up a house — there's room for a main home and a cabin or two, with timber and hunting ground behind them and no neighbors in sight.
That size and freedom make it a natural family compound: a main house on a level bench, cabins for grown kids or visiting family along the slopes, everyone with their own space and their own view, all on shared land at the water. Site-built, modular, and manufactured are all allowed, and there's room for horses, livestock, or poultry if a homestead is the idea. Utilities are already at the road — electric with a transformer at the entrance, phone and fiber — with septic required. Access is by recorded right of way off Atwood Point.
You're near Cherokee National Forest, the Appalachian Trail, and Doe Mountain's ATV and horse trails, about an hour to skiing, Boone, and Johnson City, and an hour to the airport for anyone flying in. And because Watauga is ringed almost entirely by national forest, the shoreline you look at today is the one you'll look at in twenty years.
