THE STONINGTON — A LIVING WORK OF ART WITH SWEEPING LONG-RANGE VIEWS. Created through a remarkable seven-year collaboration between renowned American artist Bob Timberlake and acclaimed architect Stephen Fuller, this extraordinary 7,000+ sq ft estate is a singular expression of art, architecture and Appalachian craftsmanship. Originally presented as a Southern Living showcase home, The Stonington draws from the influences of Stickley and Frank Lloyd Wright while remaining unmistakably Appalachian. Its architecture presents four distinct faces, transitioning from Craftsman cottage to gracious wraparound porch and the strong character of a North Carolina mountain barn. The craftsmanship is increasingly difficult to replicate: hand-milled solid mahogany columns, solid mahogany doors, cedar board-and-batten siding, oak floors detailed with cherry pegs, distinctive bowed-and-pegged windows, custom balustrades and railings, distressed solid-cherry kitchen cabinetry, and handmade, hand-glazed EPRO tile. It is a level of material richness and artisan workmanship reminiscent of the great lodges and historic resort properties of the South. Timberlake's creation extends throughout the interiors. Offered fully turn-key, the estate includes his curated Lexington Bob Timberlake Collection furnishings, rugs, lighting, linens and accessories, along with a collection of Timberlake artwork that includes personally autographed pieces. The light-filled terrace level is a true extension of the home, offering a theater, wine storage, kitchen and generous living space for extended family and guests. Privately positioned on 1.7 acres atop Cox Mountain in the sought after Big Canoe Resort like Community, The Stonington captures sweeping long-range views toward Potts Mountain, Blood Mountain and the distant Atlanta skyline—yet is approximately five to six minutes from Big Canoe's main gate. Golf, Mountain Lakes, Hiking, Chef Curated Clubhouse Restaurant - You CAN have it all.

A rare opportunity to own a true legacy property in the gated mountain community of Big Canoe. Perched at approximately 2,800 feet in elevation amid the natural beauty of North Georgia, this remarkable one-owner residence was thoughtfully designed for gathering generations of family and friends under one roof. With just under 10,000 square feet between the main residence and attached guest house, the property offers an extraordinary combination of space, privacy, architectural character and mountain living. Designed by architect Bob Ahlstrand and built by Gary Harbin in 1987, the home was further enhanced in 1995 with kitchen and owners' bath renovations and a thoughtfully integrated addition. Altogether, the main residence and guest house offer nine bedrooms, eight baths, four living and family rooms and two kitchens—providing exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests and entertaining. Warm woods, natural stone, expansive windows and dramatic architectural details give the home a character all its own. The addition features beautiful green slate flooring that flows seamlessly outdoors into a private courtyard—one of the property's most memorable spaces. Here, a massive stone fireplace creates a dramatic gathering place alongside a peaceful reflecting pool featuring a commissioned bronze sculpture of geese, cattails and lily pads. Throughout the home, unexpected spaces add to its sense of discovery. A hot tub enjoys its own dedicated screened porch, while a hidden wine room tucked away on the terrace level is waiting to be found. Accessible from the main residence by a breezeway, the self-sufficient two-bedroom, two-bath guest house provides wonderful privacy while keeping guests close. Its main level features a den with fireplace, full kitchen, bedroom with en suite bath and a deck overlooking the mountain views. The terrace level offers a second bedroom and bath, den, laundry and generous storage. Owned and cherished by the same family since it was built
