OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY (8/29) from 1-4pm Some homes are designed to impress. This one is designed to make you stay. Set high above the French Broad River Valley in River Island Plantation, 2609 Clyde Ed Road offers the rare combination of a custom-built home, panoramic mountain views, privacy, and a setting that feels far removed from the ordinary--yet remains remarkably convenient to Knoxville, Sevierville and the Great Smoky Mountains. On quiet mornings, fog rises from the river below as the mountains come into view. Deer move through the neighborhood, wildlife fills the surrounding countryside, and the screened rear porch becomes a front-row seat to it all. With its tongue-and-groove ceiling, recessed lighting and expansive views, this may quickly become the place where mornings linger and evenings slow down. Built in 2023, the Craftsman-inspired home sits beautifully on a 0.77-acre corner lot and was thoughtfully designed for comfortable main-level living. Ten-foot ceilings, oversized windows, wide openings and abundant natural light give the main living spaces an open, elevated feel, while the split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy when you want it. The kitchen balances sophistication with everyday function: quartz countertops, a large island, 42-inch cabinetry, extensive drawer storage, farmhouse sink, coffee bar, walk-in pantry and premium KitchenAid appliances. The great room centers around a gas fireplace with custom built-ins and large windows that bring the surrounding landscape indoors. The owner's suite feels appropriately removed from the rest of the home, with a tray ceiling, custom window treatments and a beautifully appointed bath featuring dual quartz vanities, soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower, private water closet and an oversized walk-in closet. And then there is the flexibility.
