About this property

Sunset Landing- Sunsets, water, peace and tranquility

River/Lakeside home with the perfect vibe for people who need to chill! 3 formal bedrooms, additional 1 futon, 2 bath, large open area living space with open kitchen and dining area and beautiful screened-in dining area as a back porch. The views are UNREAL! Gas fireplace for cooler nights. For you chefs there are XL green egg, outside gas griddle 36 in., and all the normal kitchen amenities. Riverside doc, boat ramp for smaller craft, and a mile from a free boat launch. Decks galore for your chilling pleasure. Surrounded by nature and an unbelievable bird and wildlife population. Opposite shore is TVA owned and sparsely populated on a 64,000 hechtacre Lake Wheeler. World class bass fishing. Excellent ski and recreational boating. Kayak and stand up paddle board on site. Adjacent property to the west is unbuilt and is a haven for incredible bird population. Wifi and Smart TVs available, but we know you don't care about those. Excellent place to gather yourself, recharge, write music, or a launch pad for Huntsville, Athens, Florence and Muscle Shoals attractions. We'd love to share this with right minded folks seeking peace and tranquility. This is a very clean and nice house and incredible location. Excellent beds. It is surrounded by wild things, so if wild things and nature bothers you, this might not be the right location for you.

Lovely Weekend Retreat

Our family stayed for an extended weekend together. The accommodations were spacious and the screen porch was a great place to enjoy the lake views. The beautiful sunsets each evening were magnificent! It was our home away from home, and we can’t wait to come back.

We loved this property! We were torn between a beach vacation and visiting family in Athens. So happy I found this house on the water, which allowed for a relaxing lake view and close proximity to family. Even with rain every day, it was lovely.

Why they chose this property

The house is very nice, very comfortable, and built for relaxation from top to bottom. Our home is full of good vibes and surrounded by God's beautiful creation. It is an exceptional bird watching destination with all manner of songbirds, waterfowl, birds of prey including bald eagles and osprey. The river and view is unbelievable and the sunsets cannot be beaten. If you need a place to unwind, pick your guitar, read or write, this is your destination. We have all manner of things to do from kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, skiing and watersports. It is very quiet and isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city but not to far to enjoy entertainment and attractions in Florence, Muscle Shoals, Athens, or Huntsville

What makes this property unique

Dock, Boat Ramp, Parking and Garage, some of the best bass fishing in the world right out the back door, and indescribable beauty.
