Escape to your own private paradise with this breathtaking 13.92-acre riverfront property boasting approximately 1,250 feet of frontage along the stunning French Broad River. Whether you're looking for a tranquil homestead, a weekend getaway, or an investment opportunity, this property offers endless possibilities! The turn-of-the-century farmhouse is full of character and charm, though it does need some updating to reach its full potential. With some work and vision, this home can be transformed into a beautiful and inviting retreat. A newer metal roof (think 2016), split units, & electric heaters allow you to live in the property while work is being completed. Outdoor lovers will be captivated by the park-like setting, featuring a picturesque riverside pavilion complete with a stacked stone fireplace—perfect for cozy gatherings under the stars. (Skewers for roasting marshmallows are included!) Storage and hobby space abound with an 18' x 20' aluminum garage and a 36' x 48' pole barn equipped with front and back 12' x 12' sliding doors, making it a breeze to store boats, RVs, ATVs, or farm equipment. Enjoy the best of both worlds—peaceful country living with the convenience of easy access to Newport and shopping, just a scenic drive along the river. Plus, you're just a short drive from the world-famous attractions of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, the vibrant city life of Knoxville, and even weekend trips to Asheville's arts and culinary scene. With a little effort, this one-of-a-kind riverfront property can become the dream escape you've been searching for. Don't miss out—schedule your private showing today.
