A Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired compound perched above the Tennessee River Gorge on 10.89 private acres... available for the first time in over a decade. 15,000 square feet of architectural precision: floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls, native stone masonry, cedar and steel construction designed to dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape. Six bedrooms. Eight full baths. Four half baths. Every room oriented toward 270-degree mountain and river views. The main level delivers a banquet hall anchored by a custom 14-seat glass table imported from Canada, an oval library with hand-painted ceiling, a home office, and a primary suite at the rear of the home with unobstructed gorge views. The circular bedroom tower at the front entry is a signature architectural feature. The lower level operates as a self-contained second residence -- 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths -- ideal for extended family, staff, or guests. For the car enthusiast: a 3,500 sqft main garage with four hydraulic lifts accommodating up to 14 vehicles, plus a separate 4-car garage. Outdoors: resort-style pool with motorized covers rated to 250 lbs, 12-person hot tub, screened porch with sink/refrigerator/dishwasher, courtyard with outdoor televisions, stone firepit, smoker, and accordion doors opening to the main garage. Outdoor wood-burning fireplace. 20 irrigation zones. Hundreds of landscape lights. Surround sound. RV hookup. Fully fenced with multiple gated entries. Tennessee -- no state income tax. Chattanooga -- Top Private Aviation FBO in the Country. 90 minutes to Nashville and Atlanta International Airports .
