Enjoy breathtaking year-round mountain and river views from three covered decks, along with direct river frontage on the property. While the home does offer river access, the terrain along the waterfront is steep and primarily natural, and would require grading or improvement to create easier, more functional foot access to the water. The main level features warm wood interiors, open-concept living, a stone wood-burning fireplace, and an updated kitchen with newer granite countertops, along with a spacious primary suite and ensuite bath. The lower level offers a second living and dining area, two additional bedrooms, and a shared bath, while the basement includes a game room with pool table and newly renovated bunk room for extra guests. Unwind in the hot tub after a day of hiking, biking, fishing, or paddling nearby. Ideally located near several river outfitters and the popular New River Marathon route, this property is well suited as a full-time residence, luxury vacation home, or a rental investment. Offered fully furnished with high-end furnishings — truly move-in ready. Don’t miss the video tour!
