The Shire-riverside w/hot tub, fire pit, kayaks & fenced yard

Escape to riverside tranquility at The Shire. A quant, quarried from the river stone cottage nestled on the banks of Little River. Wake up to breathtaking river views from the master bedroom and unwind in the cozy living room, complete with a stone gas log fireplace. Step outside and soak in the scenery from the screened-in deck hot tub or gather around the fire pit on the stone patio for an evening of roasting marshmallows. With a private boat dock and provided kayaks, adventure awaits right at your doorstep (don't forget your life jackets!). The fully fenced yard offers a safe haven for your furry friends, while the modern, fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances makes meal preparation a breeze. When you're ready to explore, you're just a short drive from downtown Mentone, Desoto State Park, and Cloudland State Park, offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and scenic exploration.
