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. Generously sized secondary bedrooms, a versatile flex room and a private suite above the garage--with its own full bath and walk-in closet--create exceptional options for guests, a home office, fitness space, media room or multigenerational living. The current owners purchased this home intending to make it their forever home, and their improvements reflect that: the screened porch, upgraded landscaping, five maple trees, garage storage, lawn enhancements, custom window treatments, fireplace mirrors, new KitchenAid refrigerator and other thoughtful additions have already been completed. A work relocation simply gives the next owner an opportunity that wasn't supposed to come along this soon. Just beyond the neighborhood, Seven Islands State Birding Park offers trails, wildlife viewing and access to the French Broad River, with golf and everyday conveniences nearby. This isn't simply a newer home with a mountain view. It's a home built around the way East Tennessee is meant to be experienced--quiet mornings, wide-open views, comfortable spaces and room for the people you love. The owner of the property behind the home has no plans of selling or subdividing. You'll be able to enjoy the undisturbed panoramic mountain view for the foreseeable future. Come see why the view is even better in person!
