Welcome to a rare opportunity in one of East Tennessee's most picturesque and desirable hidden gems--River Island Plantation. Perfectly positioned on a pristine corner lot bordering the natural beauty of Seven Islands State Birding Park and the French Broad River, this exceptional Craftsman-style ranch home offers the luxury of upscale neighborhood living while embracing the tranquility of the countryside. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable. Board-and-batten siding, a handsome brick skirt, black gutters, a grand covered front porch with wood posts and recessed lighting, and an elegant four-light double front door create a timeless first impression. On the morning of the professional photography, fog drifted gently from the French Broad River, creating a scene so breathtaking it almost looked painted. Yet even the photographs struggle to capture the panoramic mountain views that unfold behind the home. The rear screened porch was designed to enjoy them year-round, featuring a tongue-and-groove ceiling, recessed lighting, and a peaceful vantage point where mountain ridges stretch across the horizon. Inside, the views remain ever-present through expansive windows that fill the home with natural light and connect every day living to the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Step inside and discover an interior that is every bit as impressive as the setting. Ten-foot ceilings, eight-foot openings, oversized windows, and carefully selected finishes create a feeling of elegance and openness throughout. The spacious living room centers around a stunning gas fireplace with blower and remote, flanked by custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and decorative mirrors that add both sophistication and warmth. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the split-bedroom floor plan places the owner's suite in its own private wing while guest bedrooms occupy the opposite side of the home.
