Charming Riverfront Retreat in Mentone
Discover the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort in this beautifully updated cabin on the banks of Little River in picturesque Mentone. Tucked among native rhododendrons, laurel, and ferns, this inviting property offers an idyllic lifestyle surrounded by nature.
Step inside to a spacious open floor plan featuring a cook's kitchen and a vaulted living area anchored by a striking, custom stone fireplace. The main level includes two generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, while a cozy loft offers additional sleeping space or a quiet reading nook.
The lower level expands your living area with a second family room, additional bedroom, full bath, laundry, and ample storage. Enjoy quiet mornings on the screened porch or gather with guests on the expansive deck overlooking the river.
Outdoor amenities abound: a grilling porch just off the kitchen, a fire pit and horseshoe area, raised garden beds, a small workshop with wood storage, and trails leading to a serene swimming hole and sun-soaked boulder.
Practicality meets charm with a paved drive, stone pillar entry, and plenty of parking for guests. This riverfront haven is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend escape, or vacation rental, this Mentone gem is ready to welcome you. Priced $700,000.
