River Bend homes for sale. Four miles of the Tellwater River.

Four miles of slow river below town, under the cottonwoods.

River Bend starts where Valley Road crosses the timber bridge, and it follows the Tellwater River for 4 miles. The water slows here and the cottonwoods close in, so from June to October most homes can't see the house next door.

Lots run 1 to 3 acres. About half have river frontage and a third have a dock. Every home is on a private well and septic, and a road association keeps up the two gravel roads for $600 a year. The river comes up in late May. We know which banks hold and which lots sit in the mapped flood zone, and we'll show you the gauge history before you fall for a porch.

What a year looks like here

  1. Winter

    The river skims over at the edges. The association plows both gravel roads after 4 inches.

  2. Spring

    High water runs from late May into June. Docks come out, then go back in.

  3. Summer

    The water drops and clears by the Fourth of July. Evenings stay light until 9:40.

  4. Fall

    The cottonwoods go yellow in early October, and for a week the leaves are in the river.
