Property Description
Artists write about it, some paint it, others sing about it: the constantly moving, hypnotic essence of a river, its healing properties and the adventures it provides. This impressive home, with its chalet-type atmosphere, gives you all of that and more with 993' of river frontage on the North Fork of the Holston River, recognized as one of the best smallmouth bass streams west of the New River. Imagine floating down the currents, fishing from its banks, or meditating while listening to the calming flow of water from your primary bedroom. Whether you want to make this your full-time residence or a vacation retreat, you can relax knowing that, if needed, you can live off the grid with a 260' spring-fed well, 20 kW generator, 500-gallon propane tank, and 31 acres of forest.
The wrap-around deck features multi-level sitting areas, one with a hot tub, and provides views of the river and surrounding mountains. Exterior highlights include an oversized drive-through garage with circular drive, concrete driveway with drainage ports, and a 14 x 14 outbuilding housing two potting stations with granite countertops. The interior showcases four large bedrooms and 3.5 baths; two gas fireplaces with stone surrounds; hardwood, marble, black granite and ceramic tile flooring; designer lighting fixtures (the staircase chandelier was featured in Architectural Digest); lunette transom windows; and cast-iron fire back wall features.
The kitchen is a chef's dream with closet and slide-out pantries, stainless steel appliances including a Heartland gas range with electric oven, custom Rustic Alderwood cabinetry, granite countertops, and an island for food prep. The primary suite has glass double entrance doors etched for privacy, a vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace, a fan chandelier, crown molding with remote-controlled lighting, and beautiful river and mountain views. The primary bath features Maple Wood cabinets and tub surround from Abingdon Mill, a jetted tub, separate walk-in shower, and double sink vanity.
A studio guest suite with kitchenette, separate entrance to the back deck, full bath with walk-in shower, and closet is convenient for guests, family members, or rental income. There is also a sitting area with river views at the top of the stairs. Within 30 minutes of Bristol Hard Rock Casino, Bristol Motor Speedway, historic Abingdon, the Barter Theater, the Virginia Creeper Trail, national forests, and other recreational venues, this is a peaceful mountain retreat.
