Landmark Mountain Modern Residence

Welcome to Casa 126 Ridgepole, a landmark modern residence designed by award-winning architect Roney Mateu, FAIA. Perched atop Ridgepole Drive in Sky Valley, this striking new construction is envisioned as both a full-time home and a retreat-an architectural response to one of North Georgia’s most iconic settings. Set on over half an acre, Casa 126 is clad in weathering Corten steel that gracefully echoes the historic agrarian and industrial textures of Rabun County while grounding the home in the storied geology of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every detail is carefully considered to honor the landscape and create a living experience rooted in both heritage and contemporary design. The home unfolds across two levels and more than 4,200 square feet of interior and exterior living space. A voluminous Great Room serves as the visual and spatial centerpiece, framing uninterrupted southern and western views across Rabun Gap. Walls of glass and thoughtfully placed openings invite natural light and ever-changing mountain panoramas into daily life. The primary suite and guest bedrooms are oriented for privacy and seamless connection to the outdoors, ensuring each space feels like a personal sanctuary. Outdoor living is celebrated through expansive decks, a covered carport, and a series of balconies designed for relaxation and entertaining against the backdrop of extraordinary sunsets. Materials and finishes are selected for their beauty, durability, and authenticity, delivering a home as timeless as its surroundings. Casa 126 Ridgepole is more than a house-it is a modern landmark that contributes to a new architectural legacy in Sky Valley: one inspired by place, crafted for enduring memories, and reaching toward the future. This is an opportunity to own a residence that will be remembered, returned to, and longed for-where every season unfolds in harmony with the mountains themselves.
