Rabun Gap · Georgia
A Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired house by James Fox on five acres above the Little Tennessee River. Three bedrooms on one level, sleeps eight, with mountain views from a terrace the length of the house.
East to west, every room opens onto it, and the mountains fill the view.
The architecture
Muntin-divided windows cut the landscape into geometric panels, and clerestory lights run the length of the vaulted ceilings. A custom timber screen frames the dining room, and a cantilevered chimney rises over the dining table. The house sits low on its hilltop, the horizontal lines Wright loved echoed in the terrace rails.
Kitchen and dining
The kitchen has a double oven, a breakfast island and windows into the trees. It opens straight to the dining table beside the fireplace, so whoever cooks stays in the conversation. Bar stools at the wet bar make a second place to work or pour a drink.
Over 2,500 square feet on one level, every room connected.
The primary suite
The primary bedroom has a king bed, sliding glass doors onto the terrace and its own bathroom with a jetted tub, a shower and a double vanity. The guest bedrooms lie along their own clerestory-lit hallway.
The grounds
Five acres of lawn slope from the house to the river. There is a gazebo with a picnic table beside it, a hammock under the trees, and shallow water for wading, gathering stones or sitting quietly. Swimming is welcome, at your own risk.
The architecture was intriguing, full of light, and with thoughtful design features that truly surprised us in this region.

The Wright House is a family home before it is a rental. The art on the walls includes pieces painted by the owner, and the decor is curated with rare, collectible objects, so please handle them with care.
