Property Description

Welcome to The Watchtower, a private mountain retreat perched at the top of the Falling Waters community in Valle Crucis. Surrounded by a predominantly wooded setting, the home offers a rare combination of seclusion and scenery, with a thoughtfully cleared view corridor that provides long-range vistas while maintaining a peaceful, tucked-away feel.

The main level is designed for comfortable gathering and easy flow. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and both Keurig and drip coffee makers, along with a dining table for six conveniently located within the space. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find a half bath and a laundry area for added convenience. The kitchen opens directly into the living room, where cathedral ceilings and expansive windows fill the space with natural light. Two sofas provide ample seating around a gas log fireplace and TV, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The primary suite is also located on the main level, offering a spacious and private retreat. This king ensuite includes a ceiling fan, TV, and direct access to the deck. The bathroom is well-appointed with a tiled shower, double vanity, and granite countertops.

Upstairs, a loft overlooks the main living area and serves as a comfortable secondary lounge, complete with an oversized sectional and TV. This level also features a bunk room with its own ensuite bathroom, highlighted by a beautifully tiled shower, making it ideal for groups or younger guests.

The lower level expands the home’s living space with both sleeping and entertainment options. A king bedroom with a TV and ceiling fan is located here, along with a full bathroom in the hallway featuring a tiled shower and extended counter space. The den offers a pool table, TV, and additional sleeping with a queen Murphy bed, creating a versatile space for recreation and relaxation.

Outdoor living is just as thoughtfully designed. The main level deck includes a dining table, comfortable seating, and a gas grill, all positioned to enjoy the blend of wooded surroundings and long-range views. The lower level deck offers additional space for fun with cornhole, and a new hot tub installed Spring 2026. On the grounds, guests can gather around the firepit for evenings under the stars, and the property provides ample parking for convenience.
