    What's special

    Distant mountain viewsFlat open pastureEasily accessible year-round
    This 4.54-acre parcel in scenic Butler, Tennessee presents a rare opportunity to own unrestricted land just moments from the shoreline of Watauga Lake—widely regarded as one of the cleanest and most scenic lakes in the United States. With no property owners association, no fees, and no restrictions on use, the land offers true freedom for those seeking to build a dream home, private retreat, hobby farm or multi-residence family compound. The land is gently rolling with a flat, open pasture and distant mountain views. A private well and septic system are already installed, along with a driveway, offering significant savings in time and development costs. With direct access via a paved, state-maintained road, the parcel is easily accessible year-round for both full-time residents and vacationers. Watauga Lake offers 106 miles of deep, clear shoreline ideal for boating, sailing, kayaking and fishing. Public boat ramps and full-service marinas such as Cove Ridge and Fish Springs are just minutes away. The surrounding area is rich in outdoor adventure with scenic hiking trails, waterfalls, and the Appalachian Trail, which crosses near the Watauga Dam. Whether you're looking to build immediately or hold as a long-term investment, this property combines location, usability and natural beauty in one of East Tennessee's most desirable lake and mountain communities.
