Property Description Nestled on 7 pristine acres with approximately 800 feet of the crystal-clear Little River, this extraordinary estate is a masterclass in refined mountain living. Located in the heart of Walland, in a park-like setting, and just minutes from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a short drive to the world-renowned Blackberry Farm, this fully reimagined residence offers both seclusion and convenience in one of East Tennessee's most coveted settings. Completely renovated down to the studs, this bespoke home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern elegance. Every inch, from the wide-plank hardwood floors to the custom millwork and designer fixtures, has been thoughtfully curated to deliver a level of luxury rarely found in riverfront properties. The open concept living spaces showcase floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking water views, while a gourmet chef's kitchen, complete with top-tier appliances and artisan cabinetry, serves as the heart of the home. Multiple outdoor spaces—including a riverside terrace, a stone fire pit, and expansive decks—create the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet reflection. Adding depth and charm, you will find a rustic cabin with a cozy sitting porch and a gas fire pit overlooking the water—perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings by the fire. A beautifully preserved smokehouse offering flexible use as a studio space or storage. The park-like setting features open lawns, mature trees, and curated landscaping that invites both play and peaceful reflection. And for the angler or nature lover, the fishing here is nothing short of exceptional, right from your own backyard. The main residence features three expansive bedroom suites, each with its own private en-suite bathroom, offering the feel of individual primary retreats. The walkout lower level is a true showpiece: two dramatic stacked stone, wood-burning fireplaces, back to back of each other and open for entertaining space. A centerpiece of the home lies in the lower level, where thoughtful design meets natural wonder. A striking exposed rock formation, naturally integrated into the space, anchors the custom bar—creating a one-of-a-kind gathering experience. A climate-controlled wine cellar completes the space, offering a luxurious nod to the home's rustic elegance. River Bend is more than an estate—it's a calming sanctuary.
