633 River Trail Lane, Lewisburg, WV 24901 - Greenbrier County

Serenity on the River: Elegant 5-bedroom, 4-bath, 3-garage riverfront luxury home with guest wing. 500 feet of Greenbrier River frontage with panoramic 180 views. This magnificent riverfront home has everything, including a hot tub and sauna, as well as a gazebo with a fireplace. Situated on gated property with ready access to the Greenbrier River Trail, this secluded home occupies its own natural wonderland with elevated views and winding stone pathways. Its many appealing features include impressive cathedral ceilings, extensive wraparound decking, a gourmet kitchen and a spacious RV garage.

Twenty minutes from downtown Lewisburg, accessed via U.S. 219 and a picturesque country lane, this idyllic riverfront home is a rare find. Much more than a weekend retreat, this spacious, well-built luxury home is an ideal year-round residence offering privacy in a serene setting, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, untouched woodlands for over a half-mile on three sides, and the relaxing sounds of the flowing river.

A gated entry with stone pillars and carriage lights opens to a gently curving lane leading to the house. Sided with Hardie board, a fire and insect resistant concrete fiber siding that looks like wood, and river rock, the three-level, 4500+ square-foot home occupies its own small compound, with the main house, an attached guest wing, a separate RV garage/high bay workshop, and an enclosed gazebo with a fireplace at the far end of the property.

Steps lead from the large concrete parking area fronting the home to the main level, with a wraparound deck of Trex decking, which never needs staining or refinishing, and is insect and weather resistant. This level includes the spacious great room, a gourmet kitchen with a breakfast nook, a dining room, the master suite and two screened porches.

The carpeted great room features a soaring cathedral ceiling with exposed log beams and two ceiling fans, expansive river views, a stone wood-burning fireplace with a stone hearth, and built-in cabinetry. This impressive room flows seamlessly into the kitchen area.

The large kitchen has extensive handcrafted oak cabinetry, attractive granite counters with a double stainless-steel sink, an island with an additional stainless-steel prep sink and a pot rack, and a four-seat counter for snacking and quick meals. There are two rolltop "garages" for tucking small appliances out of sight, a built-in wine rack, and open shelves for cookbooks and display items. Appliances include a Bosch countertop gas range with 6 burners and a hooded vent, two Maytag walls ovens, a large Kitchen Aid side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, two fruit/vegetable refrigeration drawers in the center island, a GE microwave oven and a Maytag dishwasher. The kitchen has hardwood flooring and track lighting. Adjacent is a comfortable dining area with room for a table and 4-6 chairs, and access to a screened porch. A separate dining room with hardwood flooring and exposed rafters offers a more formal setting for meals.

Just off the kitchen area, tucked discretely out of sight, the laundry closet has Maytag appliances, storage cabinets and a handy utility sink.

The master suite includes a carpeted bedroom with exposed log beams, river views and a walk-in closet with built-ins. The bedroom opens to a private screened porch. The master bath has a jetted soaking tub, a tiled walk-in shower, and a double vanity with a tiled counter and porcelain sinks.

Carpeted stairs lead from the great room to the upper level, where a large carpeted loft sitting room overlooks the living room. This area is large enough to serve as an office space, game room or play area. Three bedrooms and one bath are on this level. Bedroom 1 is exceptionally large and has two dormers, one overlooking the river and another overlooking the front yard, both with built-in window seats. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are mirror images of one another and half the size of Bedroom 1, with one dormer and one window seat. Bedroom 2 is oriented to the river and Bedroom 3 to the front yard. All three bedrooms have wainscoting and ceiling fans. They share a hallway bath with a tiled floor, a tiled walk-in shower and a tiled double vanity with porcelain sinks. The bathroom has a high ceiling and a ceiling fan.

The home's lower level is essentially a utility and work space, with plenty of storage room for kayaks, river toys and lawn equipment. This level includes a small bathroom with a shower for rinsing off after river activities. It also incorporates two of the home's three garages.

The attached guest wing provides another of the home's many extras. Accessed via the decking surrounding the main house, this two-story wing includes a generous living space with panoramic river views, currently in use as an office, a sleeping loft and a full bath with a tiled shower and a composite marble sink. Hidden away on a nearby screened porch are two more enticing features a sauna and a hot tub.

Set in the mixed hardwood forest bordering the Greenbrier River, the gorgeously landscaped property includes rhododendrons, Japanese maples, boxwoods, dogwoods and many native flowering plants. Stone paved walkways meander gracefully through the property and stone steps lead down to the river below the home, opening into a landing perfect for accessing the river for fishing, swimming and kayaking.

A winding path leads to the far end of the property and The Aerie, an enclosed gazebo with plexiglass windows and a stone fireplace overlooking the river.

The home is a relatively easy 20-minute drive from downtown Lewisburg, via U.S. 219 and Benedict Lane. Often described as an ideal small town, Lewisburg offers fine dining, boutique shopping, a golf course, an 8-screen cinema and a lively arts scene. Annual events include the State Fair of West Virginia, two food-themed street festivals and a literary festival. The Greenbrier Valley Theatre, West Virginia's official state theatre, offers year-round performances, and well-known artists appear in concert at Carnegie Hall. The town is home to the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, and a campus of New River Community and Technical College.

The Greenbrier resort is in nearby White Sulphur Springs. One of the world's top luxury destinations, the 11,000-acre complex includes multiple golf courses, a spa, indoor and outdoor tennis, a casino, an artist colony, boutique shopping and a dozen restaurants.

The Greenbrier River draws anglers and kayakers, and the 75-mile long Greenbrier River Trail bordering one side of the property is popular with hikers, bikers and equestrians. Snowshoe Ski Resort, a scenic 90-minute drive up U.S. 219, is the largest ski complex in the Mid-Atlantic States. Snowshoe offers golf and challenging mountain biking trails in the off-seasons.

Combining the features of an upscale luxury residence and a vacation getaway, this attractive, comfortable, spacious home in a jewel-like river setting is a unique, must-see property.
