This striking estate is a true work of art by the late Jim Fox, the pioneering architect who brought modernist design to the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. As the area's first design/build firm of its kind, Fox created homes that are both timeless and one-of-a-kind—and this residence is no exception. Updated and restoration completed in 2024, with careful attention to detail, the home is privately situated on a beautifully wooded site and blends natural elements with contemporary elegance. Rich stonework, warm woods, expansive glass, and thoughtful geometry define the architectural language of the property. A close framed-up view of Whiteside Mountain adds a dramatic natural focal point to the landscape. The main house features two spacious bedrooms and two and a half baths, all wrapped in an open, light-filled floorplan that invites nature in through walls of windows framing sweeping mountain vistas. Crafted with an artist's eye, the interior showcases signature Fox details—soaring ceilings with exposed beams, dramatic stone columns, custom millwork, and hardwoods that exude warmth while anchoring the modern aesthetic. Just off the foyer and living room, an indoor water feature with planting wells adds to the sensory experience, bringing the peaceful sounds and textures of nature indoors. Ideal for hosting family and friends while offering privacy and independence, the two-bedroom, two-bath guest house with a fireplace and a private screened porch complements the main residence with matching architectural character and comfort. The guest house also features a game/workout room on the lower level. Outdoor highlights include a lovely dahlia garden that will come into bloom over the summer, a large stone cairn, tranquil water features, a Zen-inspired courtyard, and a beautifully landscaped backyard that's perfect for both pets and their people—all contributing to the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living. This home is more than a dwelling—it's a sensory experience, a peaceful sanctuary, and a testament to visionary design. Whether you are a lover of architecture, a connoisseur of modern design, or someone seeking an exceptional retreat located between Highlands and Cashiers, this Jim Fox original is a rare opportunity to own a true legacy of mountain modernism.
