The James River Retreat is a GATED COMMUNITY that offers BOTH full-time RESIDENCES and weekend GETAWAY properties in a PRIVATE acreage setting. The James River flows LEISURELY throughout the park, attracting BIRDS and WILDLIFE, making every DAY an ADVENTURE !! #109 James River Landing PRESENTS an exceptional OPPORTUNITY on 2.5 acres of mature trees that border the CROWN LAND forest area. This setting is IDEAL for the spectacular WALKOUT basement home. The welcoming - open and wide VERHANDA - greets you, complete with charming inlaid RIVER STONE details on the columns and around the SOARING windows. High VAULTED ceilings amplify NATURAL light, while large SOUTH-FACING windows flood the interior with sunlight, creating a BRIGHT and INVITING atmosphere.
