Nestled along one of the Yakima River's most extraordinary stretches of waterfront, this impeccably maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a riverfront setting that is nearly impossible to replicate. Boasting extensive, true low-bank river frontage, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of Peoh Point, easy access to the river, and endless opportunities for fly fishing, kayaking, floating, or simply relaxing along the water's edge. A long private driveway leads to this secluded retreat, where protected Tribal land across the river and PSE-owned property bordering one side create an incredibly rare sense of privacy with virtually no neighboring homes in sight. Surrounded by nature, you'll enjoy abundant wildlife, incredible scenery, and a peaceful setting that is truly one of a kind.Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features high-end appliances, a cozy propane fireplace, new mini-split heating and cooling, and heated floors. The spacious primary bedroom is a true retreat with expansive windows, French doors, and direct access to a brand-new Trex deck overlooking the river. A second Trex deck welcomes you at the front entrance, while the hot tub and storage shed complete the property. Previously operated as a successful short-term rental, this home offers exceptional potential as a full-time residence, vacation getaway, or investment opportunity. Furnishings are negotiable.
