2023 River Bluff Drive

Some homes are simply built. Others are thoughtfully designed to become part of a family's story. Inspired by architectural plans from Boulder County, Colorado, The Marini Residence is a custom-built estate nestled on approximately 3.5 private wooded acres in the heart of Hixson. Surrounded by mature hardwoods and abundant wildlife, the property offers remarkable privacy while remaining just minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the backyard is a private retreat featuring a 36' × 18' in-ground pool with diving board, expansive outdoor living spaces, and peaceful wooded views. Whether hosting family and friends or enjoying a quiet evening on the covered porch, every space was created to embrace the beauty of its natural surroundings. Inside, timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful design are evident throughout. Two fireplaces anchor the home's inviting living spaces, while the luxurious primary suite offers its own fireplace, coffee bar, beverage refrigerator, surround sound, and private access to the back porch--creating a true retreat at the end of each day. Built with continuous poured concrete basement walls and a real masonry stucco exterior reinforced with a structural metal framework, this home reflects a level of quality and craftsmanship rarely found today. The oversized four-car garage features an extra-deep bay ideal for a boat, workshop, small RV, or vehicle lifts. Recent improvements include a new septic system (2025), new pool liner (2024), and new pool pump (2026). Additional highlights include a dedicated home gym, wine cellar area, central vacuum system, extensive built-in storage, security and fire system wiring, and a lower level already plumbed and wired for a future kitchenette or private guest suite. The finest homes are not measured solely by their square footage or impressive amenities. They are measured by the life they make possible. Welcome Home.
