Sweet Water Estate - luxury lakefront with slip, Watauga Lake

Welcome to Sweet Water Escape at Watauga Lake, a stunning lakeside home in Butler, Tennessee, perfect for families and friends seeking a luxurious getaway. Nestled along the peaceful shores of Watauga Lake, this home offers private lake access with its own boat slip, providing an ideal base for water adventures and scenic relaxation.

Inside, the main level invites you into a fabulous open kitchen and living space, designed with both elegance and functionality in mind. The gourmet kitchen boasts granite counters, a spacious island perfect for meal prep, and a Restoration Hardware dining table for memorable meals together. The adjoining living room offers a warm, cozy ambiance with an indoor gas fireplace, ideal for gatherings on cooler evenings. This level also features a luxurious king ensuite with direct deck access, while a nearby queen bedroom enjoys access to a full bathroom across the entryway.

The lower level expands your relaxation options with a cozy sitting room that opens to the grounds and offers a desk and office chair, another spacious king ensuite with patio access, and a custom-tiled shower with granite counters. There's a second queen bedroom nearby, along with a convenient full bathroom in the hallway. The bunk suite, with its unique set of two twin-over-queen custom-built bunks, doubles as a private getaway; it includes a kitchenette, laundry center, living area, air hockey table, and a full bathroom with a custom-tiled shower and granite counters.

For entertainment, the game room boasts a giant sectional sofa perfect for movie nights, along with a wet bar and Plank & Hyde pool table that converts to a full sized ping pong table. Step outside onto the main deck for al fresco dining and grilling with both a Blackstone and gas grill, or head to the lower patio to unwind in the 7-person hot tub surrounded by ample seating in the cool shade.

The backyard gently slopes to the lake and offers a firepit with seating for starlit evenings, while little ones can enjoy the wooden playset nearby. There's a private dock here as well if you're bringing your water toys with you! Guests may use the uncovered portion of the aluminum dock, which accommodates vessels up to 30'. Please note that the property owners' private watercraft is occupying the covered portion of the docks shown in the photos and will not be moved; the watercraft is not considered part of your rental and must not be tampered with.

This serene retreat is only 5 minutes from the Watauga Lake Winery, the charming Watauga Lake Mercantile, and Villa Nove Vineyards, making it easy to explore the best of Butler, Tennessee.

Absolutely Beautiful

We were there for our son's wedding, so we didn't get to utilize the property to its full potential. We will be back to do exactly that. Beautiful, peaceful and amazing property
