Off-Grid Riverfront Retreat with Two Homes on the Swift River – A Truly Magical Escape
Long Description:
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind, off-the-grid sanctuary nestled along the peaceful Swift River, where time slows down and nature takes center stage. This extraordinary property offers not just one, but two charming homes, perfect for those seeking serenity, creativity, or a back-to-nature lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a private getaway, a unique rental opportunity, or a summer camp-style retreat, this magical riverfront setting delivers a rare blend of comfort, character, and rustic beauty.
The main house, originally built in 1965, has been lovingly opened up by the current owner to fully embrace the river views. As you step through the front doors, you’re greeted by a combined kitchen, dining, and family room, all oriented toward the picturesque waterway. A wood stove provides warmth and ambiance, while a half bath and vintage charm add comfort to the space. Upstairs, a loft-style bedroom offers privacy with vintage colored glass doors, allowing you to either close off the space or drift off to the sound of the river.
The walk-out lower level features a reading nook with daybed and a truly unique open-air bathing area, where you can soak in a tub while gazing out at the natural landscape. It’s the perfect blend of rustic living and mindful luxury.
Step outside to discover a sandy beach, a custom outdoor bathtub—ideal for hot baths under the stars—and multiple open shed areas, including one used as a summer outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining by the river. A fire pit area invites cozy evenings and stargazing with friends and family.
Adding even more value and flexibility is the craftsman-style cottage, built in 2018, featuring a lofted sleeping space, wood stove, and a front porch that’s straight out of a storybook. Next to it sits a versatile carport, currently used for summer lounging, dancing, or even trailer storage in the winter months. Complete with a bench swing, hammock, and space for gatherings, this area is the social heart of the property.
Located in a small, private neighborhood, this property offers rare seclusion with a strong sense of community. No drive-bys are permitted to maintain the peaceful nature of the setting.
Whether you envision a quiet personal retreat, a creative artist’s haven, or a memorable Airbnb-style escape, this off-grid river property is unlike anything else on the market.
Come experience the magic of the Swift River and fall in love with this rare and unforgettable place.
