Property Description

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 list of recent seller improvements. Believing this would be their forever home before an unexpected work relocation, the owners invested significantly in enhancing the property. Improvements include the screened rear porch, thirteen custom window screens, new KitchenAid refrigerator, decorative fireplace mirrors, custom cellular shades, five newly planted maple trees, ornamental landscaping, additional garage storage, lawn improvements, and a recent exterior soft wash. Beyond the property itself lies one of East Tennessee's most remarkable lifestyles. River Island Plantation is known for its collection of custom-built homes, larger lots, and scenic surroundings that blend luxury living with rural beauty. Residents enjoy a peaceful atmosphere where deer frequently wander through the neighborhood, wild turkeys can often be heard gobbling in the distance, and countless bird species make the area a destination for nature enthusiasts. Just outside the neighborhood entrance, Seven Islands State Birding Park offers miles of walking trails, wildlife observation areas, river access, and one of the region's most beloved level walking loops along the French Broad River. Whether enjoying a morning walk, photographing wildlife, kayaking nearby waters, or simply taking in a sunset over the mountains, opportunities to connect with nature are endless. The surrounding Kodak area continues to experience tremendous growth and popularity thanks to its convenient location between Knoxville and Sevierville. Residents enjoy quick access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and employment centers while preserving the beauty of rolling farmland, river valleys, and mountain vistas that make this region so special. Nearby Island Pointe Golf Club provides additional recreational opportunities, while easy interstate access places downtown Knoxville, Sevierville, and the Great Smoky Mountains within convenient reach. Homes that successfully combine luxury finishes, true main-level living, breathtaking views, custom construction, high-speed KUB Fiber Internet availability, and an extraordinary natural setting are increasingly difficult to find. This is more than a home--it is a lifestyle defined by beauty, privacy, convenience, and connection to the outdoors.
