160 Buckhorn Rd Gatlinburg, TN 37738

Listing details for 160 Buckhorn Rd, Gatlinburg, TN 37738 : Rarely does a home of historic architectural significance become available in most any market, and that is particularly true in Gatlinburg and Pittman Center. This is one of those rare moments. Designed by Bruce McCarty, well known for many public and private buildings in Knoxville, this gem of a home displays his passion for integrating modern design with natural landscape. Using local materials, this home appears to be sculpted from the site using stone, wood and glass. It is totally private on 4.36 acres, standing among ancient rhododendrons as though it is one of them. It is a space of peace, tranquility and timeless beauty that captures the mid-century modern esthetic in an organic, livable form. Built as it was over 60 years ago, it does lack central heat and air, could use some maintenance and updates, but what an opportunity to enhance the original with thoughtfully integrated updates.
