FOX DEN: Impressive Jim Fox modernist design resting on the edge of Satulah Mountain at 4100ft.

Savor your sunrise coffee on the upstairs terrace with long range views to nearby Whiteside, Chimneytop, & Terrapin Mountains and Sunset Rock. Or enjoy the proximity to the shops & restaurants that downtown Main Street has to offer! If nature's seclusion is your pace, head up to the historic Satulah Mountain & Brushy Face Preserve with more amazing vistas. The main floor includes a custom kitchen with Bosch and Fisher & Paykel paneled appliances, Caesarstone countertops & Rohl fixtures that accentuate Fox’s sleek cabinetry and skylight windows overlooking a rhododendron forest.
