Welcome to Fern Mist, a private 11+ acre mountain estate where breathtaking views, beautifully cultivated grounds, and thoughtful design come together just minutes from Highlands. With interiors by acclaimed Atlanta designer Stephen Pararo, the residence blends sophistication with the warmth of mountain living. A gated, paved drive winds past an orchard, gardens, and wildflowers before arriving at the home, perfectly positioned to capture expansive 180-degree, long-range mountain views.
Inside, vaulted, beamed ceilings, warm wood floors, and three stone fireplaces bring character to the light-filled interiors. The open living and dining areas flow into a chef’s kitchen featuring an expansive island, a 48-inch six-burner gas range with double steam ovens, two dishwashers, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, refrigerator drawers, an ice maker, and a built-in coffee station.
The main-level primary suite is a true retreat with an eye-level stone fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with a marble steam shower. A dedicated office sits just off the main living and dining area. Downstairs, two ensuite guest bedrooms offer privacy and direct access to the lower covered porch and grounds.
Outdoor living is woven into every part of Fern Mist. Expansive wraparound porches, including covered, screened, and open-air spaces, invite you to enjoy the magnificent views. A cascading waterfall and pond lead to a flagstone fire pit with a gas starter. Beautiful rock walls terrace the property, complementing stone pathways, lush landscaping, and landscape moonlighting.
Two outbuildings add exceptional versatility. One serves as a private workout studio and ”she-shed,” while the larger workshop features a wood-burning stove, a lounge area with a television, a workspace, and additional storage.
Fiber internet, a 20-kW generator, and zoned dual-fuel heating provide modern conveniences. Fern Mist is more than a mountain home. It is a true Plateau estate, offering remarkable privacy, magnificent views, and an extraordinary Highlands lifestyle.
