Light filled Mountain Retreat

Upstate SC

Light filled Mountain Retreat

Tucked into the north slope of Paris Mountain in Greenville, this multiple award-winning residence is a thoughtfully crafted mountain modern retreat built as both sanctuary and gallery. This winner of the International Property Awards 2025 for residential property development in South Carolina and the NAHB 2025 Silver Award for Best One-of-a-Kind Custom Home is designed for a retired art gallery owner and a financial executive. The home blends clean lines, curated materials, and wide-open views of Caesars Head. Bluestone Construction was brought in early to assist with site selection, team assembly, and construction. The final design—anchored by a long, light-filled corridor for displaying art—was inspired by a fleeting scene in a foreign film. Expansive windows frame the Blue Ridge Mountains, while warm wood finishes, custom millwork, and minimalist detailing offer a quiet backdrop for the couple’s collection of paintings, sculpture, and rare books. Every detail, from slope-sensitive siting to the interplay of light and volume, was crafted to reflect the clients’ refined, creative lifestyle and to blur the line between dwelling and gallery.
