Lakeview house on a 180-acre Duck River ranch: fishing, horses, bonfires

A single-level 4-bedroom, 2-bath house overlooking the lake on Riverbend Ranch, a 180-acre working cattle ranch wrapped on three sides by the Duck River in Normandy, Tennessee. A good fit for families, fishing trips, wedding guests and small retreats.

Inside, an open living room with a vaulted ceiling, leather sofas and a streaming TV runs into the dining area and a full kitchen with an island and bar stools.

Bedrooms: the primary has a king bed and its own bathroom. Room 2 has a queen. Room 3 has a Twin XL over queen bunk plus a Twin XL. Room 4 has two Twin XLs. Rooms 2 to 4 share the second bathroom.

Your stay includes use of the ranch, shared with other guests staying on the property: over a mile of Duck River frontage for fishing, fly fishing, kayaking and floating, a stocked lake and ponds (bass, bluegill and catfish, catch and release, no licence needed; the river requires a Tennessee licence), a basketball court, BB gun range and fitness centre. Meet the horses and cattle over the fence. A riverside bonfire pit is available on request.
