Welcome to River Island Plantation, one of East Tennessee's premier custom-home communities, where upscale living meets the natural beauty of the French Broad River Valley. Adjacent to Seven Islands State Birding Park and surrounded by mountain views, wildlife, and open countryside, this exceptional Craftsman-style ranch home offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Mornings often begin with fog rising from the French Broad River while the mountains emerge beyond the horizon. The pictures don't do the panoramic mountain view justice as the morning fog coming off the river was competing for attention at the time pictures were taken. Come see for yourself. Deer wander through the neighborhood. Wild turkeys can be heard in the distance. Yet despite the peaceful setting, Knoxville, Sevierville, shopping, dining, healthcare, and recreation are all within easy reach. Perched on a corner lot, the home makes an immediate impression with timeless Craftsman architecture featuring board-and-batten siding, a brick skirt, black gutters, substantial wood porch posts, recessed lighting, and an inviting covered front porch. Inside, soaring 10' ceilings, oversized windows, 8' transition openings, and abundant natural light create a sense of elegance and openness throughout. Designed for true main-level living, the thoughtfully crafted split-bedroom floor plan offers privacy, comfort, and exceptional functionality. The living room is anchored by a striking gas fireplace with custom built-ins, quartz surfaces, and large windows that frame the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home, the chef-inspired kitchen combines beauty and practicality with quartz countertops, a large island with seating and storage, 42-inch cabinetry, extensive drawer space, tile backsplash, coffee bar, farmhouse sink with mountain views, walk-in pantry, and premium KitchenAid appliances, including a recently installed $4000 refrigerator.
