Located along a rare deepwater stretch of the Shenandoah River, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a quiet escape. Set high above the waterline, it provides uninterrupted views of the river winding below, with direct access to all the fun it offers. With depths exceeding 15 feet, this section of the river is ideal for all water activities — from powerboating and jet skiing to kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and fishing. The property includes its own private floating dock, perfect for launching your next adventure or simply lounging by the water. A community boat ramp, just half a mile away, adds even more convenience for boaters. Plus, the adjacent lot is owned by the community, offering added privacy. Inside, large windows flood the space with natural light and offer peaceful river views. Step outside to the spacious patio and deck — perfect for sipping coffee as the fog lifts, gathering with friends under the stars, or unwinding by the fire as the river flows by. Recent updates include a brand-new roof and septic system, attic insulation, vapor barrier in the crawl space, fresh exterior paint, updated landscaping, and new flooring in the main bedroom. Just minutes from downtown Front Royal, local wineries, Skyline Drive, Skyline Caverns, and a variety of restaurants and year-round events on Main Street, this property offers the perfect balance. Let the river welcome you home!
