A covered wraparound porch provides the perfect place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. Inside, you'll find a spacious living area with fireplace, comfortable bedrooms, and plenty of room to make the home your own.

Additionally the home does not require flood insurance—a tremendous benefit for anyone looking for riverfront living without the typical concerns associated with waterfront property. The property also features an attached two-car garage, covered wraparound porch, private well and septic pumped in 2023, and no HOA, giving you the freedom to enjoy this beautiful mountain setting on your terms. The location with very few curvy roads and steep hills is another standout.
