Private Retreat with Endless Possibilities in Covington! Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road, 76049 River Bend Road offers a rare opportunity to create your dream escape in the heart of nature. This unique property includes approximately 1.8 acres (per tax assessor records) made up of three lots, and a partially constructed 2,300 sq ft raised home ready for your finishing touches. Surrounded by woods and teeming with peace and privacy, this hidden gem is ideal for someone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The home is elevated and offers a spacious open layout, but will need completion—including flooring, bathrooms, kitchen, and central HVAC installation—giving you the freedom to make it your own. This is an As-Is sale, and no survey is available. Whether you're dreaming of a weekend getaway, a rustic homestead, or a nature lover’s sanctuary, this property is your blank canvas. Come explore the potential of this peaceful retreat today!
