Welcome to ''Crystal River'', a rare and remarkable retreat nestled directly on the banks of the Little River-one of only a handful of homes with true river frontage in Townsend. A rare opportunity to own a true riverfront retreat that offers the best of both worlds - a luxurious full-time residence or an exceptional investment for year-round short-term rentals. The upper porch, you'll feel as if you're suspended right above the river - so close you can hear the water rushing beneath you. It's an extraordinary vantage point where morning coffee or an evening glass of wine becomes an experience, not just a routine. Your property stretches gracefully across the river, offering unmatched privacy and room to dream-imagine a riverside treehouse, zip line, or simply the luxury of untouched views in every direction. Outdoor living takes center stage with expansive decks, a fire-pit gathering space, private river beach, and outdoor shower, all designed to savor life on the water. Whether fly-fishing at dawn, kayaking at sunset, or lounging by the water, every moment here feels intentional and effortless. Originally re-imagined through a complete custom renovation in 2019, ''Crystal River'' was rebuilt from the ground up-featuring a new foundation, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, covered porch, and a beautifully modernized kitchen. Offered fully furnished and turn-key, this home blends rustic warmth with refined comfort, curated with thoughtful furnishings and high-quality finishes. Ideally located just minutes from the heart of Townsend, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Little Arrow Outdoor Resort, Dancing Bear Lodge and the legendary Blackberry Farm, this property invites you to enjoy life on the Peaceful Side of the Smokies-with Dollywood and Pigeon Forge attractions only a short, scenic drive away. More than a home, '' Crystal River'' is a feeling-a riverside sanctuary where timeless beauty meets modern comfort. Your river story begins here. Recent enhancements elevate its appeal even further: - Interior repaint (2023) - All new windows (May 2024) - New HVAC system (July 2024) - Weather-proofed lower-level pipes and water heater - Annual septic maintenance (most recent September 2025) - Monthly pest prevention - Custom river-stone landscaping for low-maintenance beauty - New kitchenware, luxury linens, pillows, towels, and embroidered bath sets
