Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This riverfront residential development property includes gently sloping pasture with a ready-to-build homesite and year-round mountain views. An existing driveway leads down to a boat launch on the Watauga River, with an adjacent camping area for a more secluded getaway. The property has a recently completed survey and is staked and flagged. Remaining improvements include the foundation of a former homesite, a shed, and some chain-link fencing, along with construction equipment and debris. The seller makes no representation regarding the condition of the septic system.

Frontage along the Watauga River runs for approximately 675 feet, and the property also has about 200 feet of frontage on Wilbur Dam Road. The land is located about a half mile downstream from Wilbur Dam, with only a small portion identified in a flood zone on the survey. Public water, natural gas, electricity, and internet are available at Wilbur Dam Road.

Zoned R-1 (low-density, single-family residential) by Carter County, the property is offered for sale at 461 Wilbur Dam Road, Elizabethton, TN 37643. The adjacent Horseshoe Chapel property is not for sale, but occasional river-front access for camping, boating, and fishing will be granted to be negotiated.
