Perched above the Rivanna River, this unique Cape Cod on 1.39 acres, offers a rare blend of privacy, nature, and timeless design. With an island-like feel, the property is surrounded by abundant wildlife, including red-headed woodpeckers, red-tailed hawks, and soaring eagles. The home features main-level living and architectural details that carry throughout—most notably the distinctive columns echoed inside and out. A light-filled 4-season sunroom captures peaceful river views and overlooks mature gardens, creating a true retreat. Enjoy three outdoor living spaces—two ideal for entertaining and one designed as a tranquil, zen-like escape. Inside, you’ll find a home that lives much larger than it appears, complete with a gas fireplace, a fully finished basement with bonus room and half bath, and an oversized 2-car garage, and a tankless water heater. The interior shows quality craftsmanship and attention to details throughout. Soaring ceilings, cozy gas fireplace, large primary suite, office space overlooking the river, and so much more. Low-maintenance yard allows you to spend more time enjoying the setting and less time on upkeep. A rare opportunity to own a private, nature-rich retreat in Lake Monticello.
