Perched among the trees, a stunning treehouse-style deck overlooks the wide, winding river—your private front-row seat to nature's show. Watch bald eagles soar overhead, sturgeon leap from the water, and every so often, catch a curious seal gliding by. Inside, the home features a highly desirable layout with all your essential amenities located on the main level for easy, everyday living.
