House Crush N°44—Highlands

House Crush first impressions

 

Happy House Crush— what a wonderful way to start the day! I thought if anything could get you off to a great start it is today’s House Crush.

This beautiful mountain house sits nestled off the main road on 26 acres of lush green gardens. Really—how could it get any better than this? The acreage includes barns, sheds, cutting gardens, meadows…even marble columns in the landscape… and an orchard.

The gardens were already established when the owner bought the property. There was no house—only a barn with no water or electricity.  Frederick L. Mozzo Studio of Atlanta designed the home around the existing barn and created this mountain paradise that the whole family enjoys.

Have a look around the property on today’s post and stay tuned for a glimpse inside the house soon—Happy House Crush!

Boxwoods, pumpkins and stone—love it! Notice  the dovecote detail near the entry.

The house was originally an unfinished barn without water or electricity.

Just across from the bar is a wonderful place to dine near the fire.

A swing large enough for a nice nap is calling your name.

  1. This home is enchanting. When you say the house was built around the existing barn do you mean literally? By studying the photos the ceilings look to be 8’. It gives the appearance of being an older cottage and is so cozy looking. I’m truly smitten. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Victoria, Yes, it is literally build from an existing barn. I actually saw the structure before the work began. It had no plumbing, electricity or even running water. The end results are truly amazing. Thanks for asking.
