About this House

Bear Shadow Estate has been the home & sanctuary of locally renowned artist & previous Fashion Director for Barbie Magazine & the Muppets, Penny Pollock. This majestic masterpiece, overlooking Whiteside Mountain's coveted Shadow of the Bear, was crafted by Phillip Coppage, to maximize mountain views & glorious sunrises. The owner has traveled the world & befriended indigenous artisans who inspired her unique decor style interwoven with elements of mountain living. She meandered into a builder's open house 14 years ago & was awestruck that the unparalleled view she had traversed the world to witness,lay right before her eyes & took her breath away!“ Every morning, I jump out of bed in anticipation of a different sunrise. Once you experience a sunrise here you will never be the same, for this magical spot instills hope, anticipation & gratitude.” This is one of the only homes on the plateau that fully captures the Bear Shadow. The glory of this event appears in February, but in October people journey from afar to witness this awe inspiring spectacle that has a music festival named after it. Bear Shadow Estate was built to embody the elements of nature & its surreal views. Sited on 2.54 acres, the numerous outdoor options offer a variety of settings to soothe the soul. The expansive decks, covered living area with fireplace & outdoor firepit, will make you feel as though you will never want to leave. “The Hive,” Penny's art studio, overlooks Whiteside Mountain & would be perfect for a yoga studio. The interior incorporates the elements of stone & antique wide plank pine flooring & maximizes views & light, with 20 ft ceilings in the living room, 3 stone fireplaces, 4 bedrooms & bonus rooms. The kitchen boasts double Wolf ovens & cooktops, a Subzero refrigerator & butler's pantry. Gated for privacy, with a 2-car garage & generator,Bear Shadow Estate is easily accessible to Highlands & Cashiers & is the perfect embodiment of luxury for those seeking solace on the plateau.

    "There's no Wal-Mart or fast food joints. Life in the mountains has an easier pace. You are removed from the city, but that's why we live here, to get away from it all. There is a world class spa, fine dining on smaller scale, exquisite shops. Think Breckinridge, without the skiing.Beautiful mountains, hiking, mountain biking, floral life, live music, plays, wineries, what more do you want?"
