Description

First time on the market, this rare one owner riverfront property is truly a gem. The home sits on 2.27 acres, a rare find in South Knoxville, and offers direct water frontage along the French Broad River. The home features one bedroom with an additional room currently used as a bedroom that could easily be converted into an office or additional living space. Enjoy serene, panoramic views of the river from the back deck, creating a peaceful retreat right at home. The property also features a private boat ramp, providing easy access to boating, fishing, and water recreation. The oversized detached garage includes an additional dwelling unit and offers excellent flexibility. It could be converted into a rental or used as is for storing water toys and extra vehicles. Originally designed with four garage bays, the detached structure now features three large bays measuring approximately 28 ft by 48.2 ft, in addition to the two car attached garage. The fourth bay is currently used as a storage or workshop area and could easily be converted back into a garage bay. The property also includes an oversized RV carport measuring 35 ft by 18 ft, offering the perfect space for recreational storage. Whether you need room for recreational vehicles and watercraft or simply value extra storage in a serene setting, this property offers it all. The home features an open floor plan, a brand new gas oven replaced in November 2025, and an encapsulated crawl space. Conveniently located just minutes from everything South Knoxville has to offer, including shopping, restaurants, UT Medical Center, mountain biking and hiking trails, Ijams Nature Center, and multiple parks. Downtown Knoxville is a short drive away and offers vibrant nightlife, Neyland Stadium, the Knoxville Museum of Art, World's Fair Park, multiple theaters, and award winning restaurants. Priced below appraised value, this home is a steal. Do not wait to schedule your showing. Professional photos coming soon!
