The Cherokee National Forest surrounds much of the lake and provides a spectacular backdrop of protected wilderness filled with hiking trails, waterfalls, trout streams, wildlife and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. The mountain views from The Harbour are especially remarkable, with protected national forest rising directly from the water's edge, ensuring the scenery will remain preserved for generations to come. Originally developed across a picturesque 160-acre former farm, The Harbour is known for its spacious homesites, paved roads, beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere. Residents enjoy lake access with a paved boat ramp, dock, and parking area, making it easy to spend your summers boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding or simply enjoying the sunset over the water. This lot offers paved access all the way to the property and is ready for your future mountain lake home, with public water, fiber internet and underground utilities available. Conveniently between Boone, NC, Mountain City, TN and Johnson City, TN, you can enjoy the privacy and tranquility of mountain lake living while being within easy reach of shopping, dining, skiing, wineries, golf, and all the amenities of the NC High Country and surrounding Tennessee mountain towns, including Bristol, Abingdon and Damascus. The Harbour is a community of single-family residences and does not allow short-term or vacation rentals, helping preserve the quiet character and long-term integrity of the neighborhood.
