About This Home
Riverview Retreat is a stunning riverfront home on 26 acres with 615 feet of frontage on the Watauga River. Perched high above the water, this property offers breathtaking panoramic views of the river, surrounding mountains and abundant wildlife. Watch bald eagles hunt the river while sitting on the new expansive deck. The home features a spacious light-filled cabin design with soaring ceilings, beautiful wood cross beams, large windows and modern updates throughout. The main floor houses the primary suite while the other two bedrooms and bath are on the upper level. The newly designed lower level has another full bath, a bonus room, an office, laundry and game room. The new wood ceiling adds to the mountain ambiance. Soak in the hot tub after a long day on the river or after exploring the 26 acres and its incredible rock outcroppings. End your day relaxing around the firepit and gazing at the star-studded night sky. The home, garage and bridge accesses were not impacted by Hurricane Helene, according to the owner. This is a rare opportunity to own a riverfront home. The finished basement project was not permitted, therefore not counted in the tax card square footage. Home is being sold furnished including the kayaks, tubes and lifejackets. Riverview Retreat is part of the Carolina Cabin Rentals program, making it an investment or personal getaway. https://www.carolinacabinrentals.com/Riverview-Retreat/
