Welcome to 109 River Shoals Drive, where over four acres of privacy, resort-style outdoor living and direct frontage on the Towaliga River come together inside the gated and guarded community of River Forest. Set on an expansive 4.26-acre river lot, this distinctive 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath custom home offers the space, setting and amenities that are increasingly difficult to find-all in one extraordinary property. From the moment you arrive, this home makes an impression. A sweeping drive, beautiful brick-and-stone exterior and double front doors introduce a residence where refined finishes are balanced by warm, natural architectural elements. Step inside to a custom compass tile inlay, setting the tone for thoughtful details throughout. Oversized stained ceiling beams, stacked-stone columns and a dramatic stacked-stone fireplace bring character and warmth to the open-concept interior, creating a home that feels substantial yet remarkably inviting. At the heart of the main level, the expansive great room flows effortlessly into the chef's kitchen and dining areas, creating an exceptional space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances and an oversized island with generous seating. Large windows and doors across the rear of the home keep the incredible outdoor setting constantly in view and allow the interior and exterior living spaces to feel like one. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and features a spacious bath with dual vanities, freestanding tub, oversized shower and generous closet space. An additional bedroom on the main level is currently being utilized as an expansive dressing-room-style closet, creating a fabulous boutique-like space while retaining the flexibility to function as a bedroom, office, nursery or guest room. And then there is the backyard. Designed to feel like a private resort, this outdoor living space may be the home's greatest showstopper. The heated PebbleTec pool features a tanning ledge and integrated spillover spa, surrounded by expansive decking and beautifully landscaped grounds. A substantial covered outdoor living area with a stacked-stone fireplace creates a true extension of the home, while the separate covered outdoor kitchen provides another destination for entertaining, grilling and gathering poolside. The detached two-car garage adds even more versatility to the property. With additional upper-level space and its location beside the pool and outdoor kitchen, it offers exciting potential for expanded recreation, a pool house, studio, guest accommodations or carriage-house-style conversion, subject to applicable approvals. Combined with the home's attached garage, the property provides exceptional parking, storage and flexibility. Beyond the outdoor living spaces, the acreage extends toward your own frontage along the Towaliga River. Walk down to the water, cast a fishing line, explore the property or simply find a quiet place to enjoy the natural surroundings. It is a rare combination of polished outdoor living and genuine Georgia landscape. Upstairs, movie night becomes an experience of its own. The custom home theater comfortably accommodates approximately 12 and features an 85-inch Sony 4K television, eight built-in Klipsch speakers, two subwoofers and interactive power-reclining theater seating. Additional bedrooms and a cleverly concealed bonus space provide even more room for recreation, hobbies, crafts, play or storage.
