Burt Reynolds’ stunning North Carolina mountain retreat just hit the market for $2,950,000.
This three-story home, located at 1210 King Gap Road, features four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and sits on 0.9 acres. Built in 1972, the home was designed by renowned architect Jim Fox, known for his unique homes inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles of organic architecture.
While filming the movie “Deliverance” in nearby Rabun County in 1972, Burt Reynolds fell in love with this area and the home, leading to its purchase and subsequent enhancements. Reynolds once expressed his admiration for the property, stating, “I own about fourteen houses. Whenever I am asked which one is my favorite, without a moment’s hesitation I always say my house in the mountains.”
From the moment you arrive at the courtyard, Jim Fox’s distinctive style is unmistakable. The welcoming foyer offers multiple entrances to the main level, lower level, and upper level. The heart of the home features a kitchen, sunken living area, and dining spaces that capture breathtaking long-distance mountain views.
The current owners have enhanced the outdoor living experience with a terrace boasting a large stone fireplace, an in-ground heated plunge pool/hot tub, and waterfall, a serving bar, and both sitting and dining areas.
The upper-level primary suite, accessible via a separate entrance, offers stunning views of the mountains and gardens. Two additional bedrooms are situated on another upper level. The lower levels include a bedroom suite, a pool table room, an office, a wine cellar, and a unique stone bathroom built by Loni for Burt.
Jim Fox’s design philosophy shines through in this remarkable home, incorporating majestic mountain views, cascading waterfalls, and rocky hillsides.
