Mountain Chateau, Hiawassee

Built from the ground up on a large estate, this custom home features a hand-chipped stone and limestone exterior, with a brick driveway and European bluestone porches that enter into South American wood flooring, interior stone arches, and a private amphitheater. Copper gutters and a wood shake roof offset a stone turret housing a radius staircase with custom railings. But for all the hand-hewn beams and exposed aggregate, this castle of a modern luxury estate is outfitted with the very latest in home automation technology.
