THE HELIX HOUSE -- An Architectural Masterpiece in the Heart of the Smoky Mountains!
Perched high above Gatlinburg in prestigious Chalet Village, The Helix House is a rare helicoid-inspired architectural masterpiece blending innovative modern design with the natural grandeur of the Smokies. Inspired by the graceful spirals of seashells and the geometry of nature, this extraordinary circular residence celebrates movement, light, texture, and panoramic beauty.
Extraordinary in scale and design, the home offers 6,798 square feet of interior living space, an additional 4,476 square feet of balconies and decks, 3 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths. Four architectural levels are connected by elegant mid-level transitions, creating a natural flow throughout. Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass embrace the circular perimeter, revealing breathtaking 360-degree mountain and landscape vistas while filling the interiors with natural light.
At the heart of the residence lies a remarkable 20-foot-diameter private courtyard filled with mature bamboo, creating a tranquil sanctuary that brings nature into the very center of the home.
A sophisticated palette of luxury materials complements the home's sculptural design. Terrazzo-finished floors, fluted concrete perimeter walls, and expansive glazing create a dramatic interplay of texture and light. Gray Venetian-finished ceilings accented by substantial exposed wood beams add warmth and architectural depth. Bathrooms feature luxurious marble-finished walls and floors, while frosted fluted-glass interior doors complete the refined contemporary aesthetic.
The spectacular main living level brings together an expansive open-concept living room, dining area, and gourmet European-inspired kitchen featuring Calacatta marble countertops, premium appliances, and sleek modern finishes. Multiple fireplaces create warmth and ambiance, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors for entertaining and relaxation.
The primary suite is a luxurious private sanctuary, featuring its own fireplace, spa-inspired bath, hot tub, and direct balcony access overlooking both the majestic mountains and peaceful central courtyard. Two additional bedrooms offer private baths and access to shared outdoor spaces. A dedicated recreation room and separate media room with bar provide exceptional entertainment opportunities.
Outdoor living is equally extraordinary, with nearly 4,500 square feet of balconies and decks. A covered terrace with fire pit and seating areas offers the perfect setting for spectacular sunsets, mist-filled mountain mornings, and peaceful evenings beneath the stars.
Designed for lasting quality and comfort, the home features steel-frame construction, concrete floors, radiant floor heating, a boiler hot-water system, and exceptional architectural finishes. Additional conveniences include two-vehicle parking, city water and sewer, and access to Chalet Village amenities including swimming pools, tennis courts, and clubhouse facilities.
Ideally located just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, Ober Mountain, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this extraordinary property offers the rare opportunity to own a true architectural landmark in one of America's most beloved mountain destinations.
