This rare, riverfront retreat in River Bend is unlike anything else on the market—an architecturally striking octagon-shaped home with a show-stopping saltwater pool, private dock on the Trent River, and luxury finishes throughout. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with exceptional character, thoughtful upgrades, and a setting that feels worlds away—yet close to everything. The main living area is perched on the second floor, where a soaring vaulted ceiling with exposed beams creates an airy, open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the living room, dining space, and chef's kitchen. Quartz countertops, a matching backsplash, and high-end appliances elevate the kitchen, while luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring run throughout. Two bedrooms and two spa-like bathrooms—each with a sleek walk-in tile shower—offer comfortable and stylish accommodations. Head out onto the covered back porch to enjoy breathtaking views of the expansive backyard, saltwater in-ground pool, and peaceful river setting backed by a protected wildlife sanctuary. The saltwater pool is a centerpiece of the property—surrounded by a generous patio, enclosed by a fence, and perfectly positioned for entertaining, unwinding, or simply soaking in the view. Downstairs, the finished first floor offers additional heated and cooled living space of 675 sq ft, including a spacious living area, a convenient kitchenette with sink and fridge, and a large storage closet—perfect for guests, a studio, or multi-generational use. Though accessed separately from outside, this level is fully conditioned and versatile. A wheelchair-accessible exterior elevator provides direct entry to the main living space above. Outside, you'll find a workshop/shed with electricity and a private dock ready for fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the incredible natural surroundings. This home is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity for a riverfront lifestyle in a setting as unique as it is beautiful.
