Property Description

Situated behind the private gates of The Chattooga Club, this remarkable mountain retreat is where timeless European-inspired design meets modern luxury. Offered furnished and turnkey, the residence is the culmination of a meticulous multi-year renovation that transformed the home into a warm and sophisticated sanctuary rich in architectural character. Upon entry, the home reveals a thoughtful composition of texture, color, and light.

The upper level offers generous accommodations, highlighted by an expansive guest suite with a private sitting area separated from the additional bedrooms and bonus room. One guest suite features a private staircase to its own entrance, providing privacy and flexibility. The lower level offers substantial unfinished square footage ready to be customized for a variety of uses, such as a fitness center, media room, or wine cellar. Complementing the home is access to the exceptional amenities of The Chattooga Club, one of the Plateau’s most sought-after private communities, offering fine dining, a spa and wellness center, swimming pool, tennis courts, pickleball, croquet, and a vibrant club lifestyle (membership by invitation). Blending refined elegance with relaxed mountain living, this extraordinary residence was designed for both casual and formal living.
