Surrounded by nature and set above the road, the property is ideal as a second-home getaway, creative retreat, or quiet escape from everyday life. Enjoy scenic views from the side porch or gather around the fire pit area, where the Ohio River creates a truly serene backdrop. Beautiful hardwood accents, large windows, and a wood burning stove add to the home's coziness. A large outbuilding—currently used as a music jam room—provides flexible space for hobbies, studio use, or entertaining, while an additional storage shed adds even more utility. The home has been primarily used as a weekend and vacation home and is equipped with a refrigerator and washer, allowing the next owner to customize the space to suit their vision and lifestyle. A steep well-graded gravel gated driveway enhances the sense of seclusion and privacy, while a separate garage located at the base of the drive along Route 8 offers convenient parking or storage. If you're looking for a property that prioritizes privacy, natural beauty, and river views, this unique Ohio River getaway delivers a rare opportunity to own your own peaceful slice of Bracken County countryside.
