About This Home
Discover unparalleled tranquility in this magnificent 3128 sq/ft log home, located on 300 feet of private river frontage on the New River. This 2.8-acre estate, conveniently located off a state-maintained road, provides the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury. On the main level, wood floors and logs sourced initially from an 1880s cabin tell a story of timeless craftsmanship. The living room is a masterpiece, boasting a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams, oversized windows, and a captivating custom floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace. The heart of the home, the kitchen, showcases upscale stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a gas cooktop, and custom distressed chestnut cabinets. Practical amenities include a large, custom walk-in pantry and a convenient mudroom with ample storage. A large sunroom provides a versatile space for an office or sitting area, featuring a wall of windows offering stunning views of the New River. The main level master suite is a luxurious sanctuary, complete with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, an oversized tile shower, a walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a relaxing whirlpool tub. A second bedroom and bathroom on the main level are perfect for guests or a growing family. The newly renovated lower level offers additional living flexibility with two extra sleeping areas, a family room, a full bathroom with a custom vanity and tile tub, a dedicated craft room, and even a second mud room. Entertain guests or relax on the expansive 525 sq/ft covered porch overlooking the New River. The meticulously maintained grounds feature mature landscaping, a paved driveway, an elegant stone entry staircase, an under-deck carport, custom stone retaining walls, split-rail fencing, and an inviting outdoor fire pit area. The property also features a double-bay wood storage building, a partially finished hideaway attic, and a separate 400 sq/ft heated shop building equipped with 220V electric service, providing ample space for various projects. For direct access to the river, the property features a private stone stairway leading down to the water. If that’s not enough, the property also includes a hazelnut orchard and a second storage shed on the upper part of the acreage. The upper acreage could also be surveyed off for a separate homesite or investment opportunity at a later date. While some of the included acreage is located within the flood zone, the home itself sits just outside of the current 100-year flood zone. Finally, enjoy the convenience of being less than a twenty-minute drive from Jefferson and West Jefferson.
