Built in 2020 by David Peagler, one of Big Canoe's most respected builders, this sophisticated contemporary home brings a unique architectural presence to its mountain setting. Generous proportions give way to intimate places to read, converse, or simply enjoy the quiet.

It is a level of material richness and artisan workmanship reminiscent of the great lodges and historic resort properties of the South. Timberlake's creation extends throughout the interiors. Offered fully turn-key, the estate includes his curated Lexington Bob Timberlake Collection furnishings, rugs, lighting, linens and accessories, along with a collection of Timberlake artwork that includes personally autographed pieces.
