Set in the mountains of East Tennessee with Watauga Lake quite literally at your doorstep, this exceptional wooded tract presents a rare opportunity to own acreage in one of the region's most coveted recreational settings. Elevation, privacy, history, and long-term potential converge here in a way that is becoming increasingly difficult to find along the Watauga Lake corridor.Deeded access is included as part of the tract itself, guiding you into the interior where the land gradually rises to elevated portions with impressive vantage points and strong lake view potential, depending on homesite positioning. The natural contours offer flexibility for thoughtfully selecting a future build site that balances accessibility, privacy, and views—allowing you to shape the property according to your vision while embracing the character of the surrounding mountains.A truly distinctive feature of this tract is that the original Appalachian Trail route crosses the upper ridgeline near the historic Morton Gap area, adding authenticity and a tangible connection to the early heritage of one of America's most iconic trails. For those who appreciate outdoor tradition and the enduring legacy of the Appalachian highlands, this rare attribute enhances both the character and long-term appeal of the property.Backing directly to the Cherokee National Forest, the tract enjoys a preserved and undeveloped natural boundary that enhances privacy and long-term protection of your surroundings. While the terrain creates a strong sense of separation, the adjoining national forest provides a scenic backdrop, abundant wildlife movement, and the reassurance of protected land beyond your boundary—ideal for those who value seclusion and on-property recreation such as hiking and hunting.With Watauga Lake immediately nearby, boating, fishing, kayaking, and lakeside relaxation become part of everyday life rather than a weekend destination. The broader area offers year-round adventure—from trout fishing
