There are beautiful homes, and then there are places that change what you imagine home could be. Cross Creek Ranch is one of those places.
Beyond its gated entrance, 94.54 acres open into sweeping Appalachian Mountain views, fenced pastures, wooded trails, and approximately 1,200 feet along Doe Creek stocked with trout for the fly fisherman. The property adjoins Doe Mountain Recreation Area, which is over 8000 acres of ATV, UT and horseback trails adding to the remarkable sense of space surrounding this private estate. This is a lifestyle shaped by horses, mountain air, and the freedom to make every day an adventure.
The care given to Cross Creek Ranch is evident as you move through the property. The owner has devoted extensive attention to the landscaping and the ongoing upkeep of the grounds. Beautifully tended areas around the homes, newly manicured and seeded pastures, and a rose garden give the estate a welcoming, cared-for feel. The natural beauty is extraordinary, and the work that has gone into keeping this property beautiful is part of what makes it stand out.
For the equestrian, the possibilities begin at the four-stall horse barn, equipped with padded floors, a tack room, hay loft, kitchen, bathroom and office. A riding arena provides a dedicated space to work with your horses, while six fenced pastures across approximately 14 acres offer room to graze. Three additional barns support the daily work of caring for the property and its horses. Here, the equestrian facilities are central to the life Cross Creek Ranch offers.
From the barn, approximately five miles of established trails invite you to explore the acreage on horseback, by ATV, or on foot. Follow a wooded path, make your way toward Doe Creek, or find a quiet place to take in the mountain views. With so much land to enjoy, an afternoon outdoors can be as adventurous or as peaceful as you choose.
The approximately 4,100-square-foot, hand-hewn cedar log main home brings warmth and character to the heart of the estate. This three-story home with a large great room and massive stone fireplace offers a memorable gathering place, while the wraparound porch looks out toward the pastures and mountains. It is a home designed to enjoy the setting in every season.
A two-bedroom cedar log guest cottage and a one-bedroom chalet add even more versatility to the estate, offering inviting accommodations for family and friends, the opportunity for multi-generational living, or potential vacation rental use. Whether welcoming weekend guests, creating a private space for extended family, or exploring income-producing possibilities, these additional residences allow Cross Creek Ranch to adapt beautifully to the way you want to live.
The 60-by-30-foot detached garage is another standout, with generous room for a vehicle collection, tractors, ATVs, and equipment for enjoying and maintaining the land.
With paved access, Cross Creek Ranch is near Watauga Lake and Mountain City, Tennessee, with North Carolina and Virginia within easy reach, placing the estate in a beautiful corner of the Appalachians where a quite hometown and mountain adventure meet.
Come see the arena and barns, explore the trails and gardens, and stand on the porch with the mountains before you. The setting draws you in; the care given to every part of Cross Creek Ranch makes it unforgettable.
