Watauga Lake is the easternmost TVA lake in Tennessee, situated just a few miles from the North Carolina border and nearby Boone, North Carolina. It is one of the cleanest lakes in the country and certainly one of the most beautiful. The lake is 16 miles long and has just over 100 miles of shoreline. Over half of the shoreline is protected, public land, much of it in the Cherokee National Forest. Much of the remaining private land is below the "1980 foot " elevation line and only moveable structures like campers can be used on the property.

All of this makes Watauga Lake a very desirable place to own a home or a vacation cabin but it also makes purchasing property and developing property a bit tricky. Local knowledge about the area is quite helpful in making the best real estate choice.
