About this property

Welcome to Crystal River, a truly rare retreat nestled directly on the banks of the Little River--one of only a handful of homes in Townsend offering genuine river frontage. Whether you're searching for a luxurious full-time residence, a private mountain getaway, or an exceptional year-round short-term rental investment, Crystal River offers an opportunity that is seldom available. Step onto the expansive upper porch and you'll feel as though you're suspended above the river itself. With the rushing water flowing just below, every sunrise with a cup of coffee and every evening with a glass of wine becomes an unforgettable experience. Your property extends gracefully across the river, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and possibility. Imagine building a riverside treehouse, adding a zip line, or simply enjoying the untouched natural beauty that surrounds you. Outdoor living is at the heart of this home, featuring expansive entertaining decks, a fire pit gathering area, private river beach, outdoor shower, and direct access to one of the most beautiful stretches of the Little River. Spend your mornings fly-fishing, your afternoons kayaking, and your evenings relaxing beside the water--every moment here feels peaceful, intentional, and effortless. Originally reimagined through a comprehensive custom renovation in 2019, Crystal River was thoughtfully rebuilt from the ground up with a new foundation, electrical system, HVAC, insulation, drywall, covered porch, and a beautifully redesigned kitchen. Offered fully furnished and completely turn-key, the home blends rusticmountain character with refined modern comfort through carefully curated furnishings and quality finishes throughout. Perfectly positioned just minutes from the heart of Townsend, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Little Arrow Outdoor Resort, Dancing Bear Lodge, and the world-renowned Blackberry Farm, you'll enjoy the very best of the Peaceful Side of the Smokies while remaining only a scenic drive from Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and Gatlinburg. More than a home, Crystal River is an experience--a place where the sound of rushing water, timeless mountain beauty, and modern luxury come together to create something truly unforgettable.
