Chattanooga, Tennessee is a city of charm and progress. In fact, there are many things that are unexpected surprises for anyone who thought Chattanooga was just another ho-hum city. In 2010, it became the first city in the country to have one gigabit a second Internet service (200 times faster than the national average) that was provided by its own utility, the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga. In 2012, it got its own unique brand logo font, "Chatype," making it the first time a city has had its own typeface in America and the first publicly funded custom-made typeface in the world. Progressive? You bet. Located in the midst of beautiful topography, Chattanooga spans the Tennessee River, nestled between the Appalachians and Walden’s Ridge. Originally settled by the Cherokee Indians, it has had a tumultuous history through the Trail of Tears Native Americans forced relocation, and the bloody Civil War Battle of Chickamauga with over 30,000 casualties, to a thriving city during the industrial revolution to today’s highly refined high tech environment. With festivals, sports, parks, museums and performing arts venues and a moderate climate, residents and visitors never run out of interesting activities year round.

Perched 1,860 feet above it all on the highest point of Elder Mountain, from this stunning mountain retreat with its 60-foot stone observation tower, one has a panoramic view of four states encompassing Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina. Its earthy exterior built completely from materials from the mountain itself, continues into the dramatic interior. At once earthy and elegant, this 7,470 square foot home on six mountaintop acres is comprised of incredible views, six bedrooms, nine baths, a guest house and artist studio as well as a three-car garage, viewing tower, terraces and a pool, all within a 24-hour guard-gated enclave. The interior has exposed stone walls, arches, solid oak vaulted ceilings, slate floors, lovely stained glass windows, wrought iron chandeliers and hardware, two fireplaces and an abundance of space for entertaining.
