RiverCamps - Southern Living Idea House ®

With 2,054 square feet of air-conditioned living space, the home also includes an expansive 1,577 square feet of porches and decks with boat storage and garage underneath. Located on almost an acre of forest land overlooking Crooked Creek, the 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath retreat is built with quality materials such as Jeld-Wen windows and doors, GE appliances, James Hardie siding, a Lennox HVAC system, Square D breaker boxes and structured wiring, and Boral Brick.
The 2004 Southern Living® Idea House was imagined and created with part-time residence in mind, requiring very little maintenance. It has great style, but remains practical for seasonal habitation. Designed to be a family gathering place, the Idea House is focused around the kitchen, while also allowing the expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces to provide comfortable settings for family activities. The home brings the beauty of the great outdoors inside, from the furniture around the screened porch fireplace to the “summer kitchen” on the ground level and to the fire pit beyond.
