Winding Ridge
5800 square-foot custom modern farmhouse built along the ridge in Blairsville, Georgia.
Contractor : New Horizon Homes
Partnered : Reynard Custom Homes
Winging Ridge is a 5,800 square foot custom home designed for its elevated site in Blairsville, Georgia, where long-range views and changing light shaped both the plan and the architectural expression. Set on a ridge overlooking the North Georgia mountains, the home balances scale and warmth through a modern farmhouse aesthetic that feels grounded in its setting rather than imposed upon it.
The exterior composition combines clean white siding, dark roofing, and timber accents to create a contemporary interpretation of farmhouse architecture. Deep porches and covered outdoor spaces extend the living areas outward, reinforcing the connection between the home and the surrounding landscape while providing shelter and shade throughout the seasons.
Inside, the design centers on an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space oriented toward the rear views. Large windows and sliding doors frame the mountains beyond, allowing the interior to open fully to the landscape and making natural light a defining feature of the main living level. Vaulted ceilings and exposed timber elements add vertical volume and visual warmth without overwhelming the space.
The home includes seven bedrooms and six bathrooms distributed across two finished levels, with an additional finished basement. The layout supports both everyday living and large gatherings, offering clear separation between private spaces and shared areas while maintaining visual and spatial continuity throughout.
Winging Ridge reflects our approach to custom home design in North Georgia: thoughtful planning, site-responsive architecture, and homes that are designed not just for views, but for long-term livability and construction clarity.
