This is not your average mountain retreat. Designed by Mack Scogin and Merrill Elam, the Atlanta-based architects whose exalted creations span from New York to Shanghai, this property's pedigree includes the 2005 National AIA Honor Award of Excellence — and that was for the guest house addition, built to accommodate tractors and dogs. This 5,000-square-foot modernist compound resides in Dillard, in the Appalachian foothills near the North Carolina border, about an hour and 45 minutes from downtown Atlanta.
