Long Description:
Welcome to your secluded riverfront sanctuary—a truly rare opportunity tucked beneath the towering oaks of Ice Mountain along the pristine North River. Just two hours from Washington, D.C. and only one hour from I-81, this 5.02-acre wooded retreat offers the peace, privacy, and direct river access that are increasingly hard to find.
This unique parcel boasts over 350 feet of private North River frontage, offering a setting so scenic and serene, it feels worlds away from the hustle of daily life. Whether you’re fishing in the cool mountain waters, kayaking through peaceful bends, or simply unwinding to the sound of the river cascading over stones, this property is the perfect place to disconnect and recharge.
The lot itself is long and uniquely shaped, with varied terrain that includes both level and steep sections—inviting creativity in future design or development. Though challenging in some spots, the reward is a level of privacy and river access that few properties can match.
At the heart of the property sits a 168-square-foot true log tiny cabin—a rustic and charming structure that’s wired for electricity and ready to enjoy from day one. It’s ideal as a basecamp for weekend getaways, outdoor recreation, or simply as a place to read, write, and reconnect with nature.

Located within the gated, well-maintained Ice Mountain community, the property benefits from gravel road access, protective covenants, and a shared commitment among owners to preserving the natural beauty and tranquility of the area. You’ll feel safe, secluded, and surrounded by nature—while still being within reach of small-town amenities and modern conveniences.
