Welcome to your own private retreat in the heart of Montgomery. Set on approximately 2 beautiful acres and surrounded by deeded agricultural preservation land, 479 River Rd offers something incredibly difficult to find today... long term protected privacy and peaceful country living without sacrificing convenience.
This well cared for ranch style home offers the perfect opportunity for buyers looking to personalize cosmetic finishes while immediately enjoying the lifestyle, setting, and space the property already provides. Inside, you’ll find spacious living areas, central air conditioning, multiple wood burning fireplaces that create warmth and character throughout the home, and a layout designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining alike.
Step outside and the property truly begins to shine. The covered back porch creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or entertaining while overlooking the peaceful surroundings. The rear deck also features a direct gas hookup tied into the home’s gas supply, making outdoor cooking and entertaining effortless.
One of the most unique features of the property is the garden area located in the backyard, already equipped with both electricity and water access, creating incredible potential for gardening enthusiasts, hobby farming, outdoor entertaining, or future customization.
Unlike many competing properties, the true value here extends far beyond the walls of the home itself. The surrounding agricultural easement land protects the privacy and natural beauty surrounding the property, creating a lifestyle and setting that simply cannot be recreated by updated finishes alone.
