NEW PRICE! OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY (10/18) from 2-4pm! 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. At the heart of the residence, the chef-inspired kitchen is truly exceptional. Quartz countertops, a large center island with seating and storage, pendant lighting, 42-inch cabinetry, extensive banks of drawers, tile backsplash, coffee bar, farmhouse sink overlooking the mountains, and a walk-in pantry complete with cabinetry and quartz work surfaces provide both beauty and practicality. Stainless KitchenAid appliances elevate the space, including a recently installed $4,000 refrigerator. The owner's suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring a tray ceiling, recessed lighting, custom cellular shades, designer drapery, and ample room for substantial furnishings. The spa-inspired bath offers comfort-height dual vanities with quartz countertops, elegant mirrors, tile flooring, a fully tiled walk-in shower, soaking tub with tile surround, private water closet, linen storage, and an expansive walk-in closet with additional storage tucked beneath the staircase. Everyday living is enhanced by a spacious laundry room equipped with cabinetry, quartz countertops, utility sink, and tile flooring. Guest accommodations are equally impressive. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized, with three featuring walk-in closets. A flex room can easily function as a fifth bedroom, home office, fitness room, or hobby space. The hall bath includes a comfort-height double vanity with quartz countertops, designer mirrors, tile flooring, cast-iron tub with tile surround, and large linen closet. Above the garage, a private bonus suite creates the perfect space for multigenerational living, extended guests, a college student, or private home office. Accessed by beautiful wood stairs and risers, this space includes a bedroom, full bath with tiled shower, quartz vanity, tile flooring, and a large walk-in closet. The oversized garage comfortably accommodates two vehicles and a motorcycle while offering built-in storage cabinets and additional workspace. Equally impressive is the
