Spirit of the River

Description from the owner

This extremely unique 3 bedroom 2 bath home directly on the river has everything you could ask for when visiting the Black Mountains of North Carolina. Even the approach to the home will leave you awestruck. The long driveway meanders through the forest running parallel to the Cane River passing by an old cattle barn and soon submerges you in a thick canopy of old growth Rhododendron. The canopy of Rhododendron you pass under with its imposing appearance leaves you with the feeling that you have entered a portal to natures own magical fairyland. You can't help but feel the elemental energy of natures finest. Spring time here is unbelievably b...eautiful with an abundance of wild flowers which cover the land like a carpet. You can expect to see Wild Iris, Lady Slippers, Showy Orchids, Trillium of all colors, Jack in the Pulpit, May Apples, Ferns of all varieties and much more. There is a large wrap around deck with views of the river, forest and old growth rhododendron with a gas grill and outdoor furniture for outside dinning.

The interior of this home is all completely remodeled and has personal touches that make it just as unique as the land it sits on. Equipped with four TV's; a large flat screen in the living room the other 3 being in the game room, master bedroom and one of the secondary bedrooms . The master bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub with unique locally hand crafted wall and floor tiles. The Jacuzzi tub is set in a wood Wormy Chestnut frame which complements the Wormy Chestnut trimming throughout the master bedroom. There are two almost floor to ceiling windows which open and allow you to hear and view the bouldered Cane River and surrounding forest. Open them and let the sounds of nature enter the bedroom. It also has its own meditation area in a setting that compels you to relax, renew your spirit and reflect on how wonderful your life is.

Don't forget to bring your fishing equipment for this river has an abundance of trout. Take your days catch to the large outside fire pit which is surrounded by log chairs and tables. A perfect setting for outside dining would be a hot dog cookout followed by a roasted marshmallow desert.
