Property Description

Wake each morning to the sound of the Hiawassee River and end each day with mountain views stretching across the horizon. At 144 River Watch Terrace in the River Ridge community, this riverfront home offers year-round water and mountain views in a setting known for scenic, well-maintained mountain living. Built in 1994 and thoughtfully updated throughout, the home offers nearly 3,000 square feet of inviting space designed to keep nature front and center. Expansive windows draw in natural light and frame the river and mountain backdrop, creating a constant connection to the outdoors. A wrap-around porch and covered front deck provide ideal spaces for morning coffee, quiet afternoons, and evenings spent listening to the water below. The updated kitchen flows comfortably into both breakfast and dining areas, making everyday living and entertaining feel effortless.

Campbell Folk School. Outdoor recreation is woven into daily life here—whether fishing, kayaking, floating the Hiawassee, or exploring nearby hiking and biking trails. For evenings out, Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino is just a short drive away.
