24327 N Fork River Road Artists write about it, some paint it, others sing about it...the constantly moving hypnotic essence of a river, its healing properties & the adventures one provides. This impressive home with its chalet-type atmosphere gives you all of that & more with its 993' of river frontage on the North Fork of the Holston River-recognized as one of the best small mouth bass streams west of the New River. Imagine floating down the currents, fishing from its banks or simply meditating while listening to the calming flow of water from your own primary bedroom. Whether you want to make this your full-time residence or just a vacation retreat you can relax knowing that, if needed, you can ''live off the grid''. With a 260' spring-fed well, 20kw Generac generator, 500 gallon propane tank, & 31 acres of forest, you're ready! And that's just some of the basics. The wrap around deck (featuring multi-level sitting areas-one with a hot tub) from which to view the river and beautiful mountain ranges, oversized (drive through) garage & circular drive, concrete driveway with drainage ports, & 14 x 14 outbuilding which houses 2 potting stations (with granite counter tops) highlight the exterior. And the lovely interior showcases 4 large bedrooms and 3.5 baths; two gas fireplaces with stone surround; hardwood, marble, black granite & ceramic tile flooring; designer lighting fixtures (the chandelier in the staircase was featured in Architectural Digest); lunette transom windows; cast-iron fire back wall features & other subtle design-focused elements. The kitchen is a chef's dream with closet & slide-out pantries, stainless steel appliances including a Heartland gas range with electric oven, custom-built ''Rustic Alderwood'' kitchen cabinetry, granite counter tops & an island for food prep. The primary suite presents itself with glass, double entrance doors (etched with design for privacy), vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace, Fandelier, crown molding with remote-controlled lighting & beautiful views of the river and mountains. The primary bath is its own haven with ''Maple Wood'' cabinets/tub surround-from Abingdon Mill, jetted tub, separate walk-in shower & double sink vanity. A studio guest suite with kitchenette, separate entrance to back deck, & full bath with walk-in shower & closet is convenient for guests, family members or rental income. And there's a sitting area with views of the river at the top of the stairs-a perfect spot for Sunday afternoon reading. Within 30 minutes of Bristol Hard Rock Casino, Bristol Motor Speedway, historic Abingdon Virginia, Barter Theater, the Virginia Creeper Trail, and other prominent hiking trails, national forests and recreational venues. It's a peaceful mountain retreat...can you hear it? It's calling your name.....
