A First Look

Walk the gates. Then the rooms, then the water.

An ivy-clad facade behind a wrought-iron gate. A double staircase under crystal. A formal living room with Venetian plaster. The pool framed by twin loggias above the lake. The boathouse with its motorized lifts. Each room has its own moment.

Front elevation of LONGVIEW with thick ivy climbing the stucco walls, a deep portico over the front door, and clipped boxwood lining the cobble entry court — The ivy facade, behind the gate. Boxwoods, cobblestone, a deep portico.

Marble entry hall of LONGVIEW with a sweeping iron-railed staircase, a crystal chandelier, and a tall arched doorway leading to a fireplace beyond — The Jerusalem stone foyer. Iron, crystal, a sweeping curve.

Formal two-story living room at LONGVIEW with Venetian plaster walls, a lit fireplace, cream upholstery with blue accent pillows, and tall mullioned windows letting in afternoon light — The two-story living room. Venetian plaster, a lit fire, an afternoon light.

White marble kitchen at LONGVIEW with Christopher Peacock cabinetry, a Calcutta gold center island and four upholstered counter stools, a six-burner range, and a barrel-vaulted arch to the back kitchen — The kitchen, in Calcutta gold. Christopher Peacock cabinetry, a butler's pantry beyond.

Long limestone pool at LONGVIEW flanked by twin balustraded terraces, framed by mature trees, opening directly onto Lake Oliver's blue water and far shore — The pool, framed by twin loggias. Then the lake.

A limestone terrace at LONGVIEW running along a tall colonnade of arched Hope's steel windows and french doors, with topiary in planters between the columns — Hope's steel doors. Limestone columns, topiary between.

A bedroom suite at LONGVIEW with tall silk drapery, french doors opening to a balcony over the lake, and a carved wooden mantel framing a lit fireplace — A bedroom suite. Doors open to the lake.

Covered upper deck of the LONGVIEW boathouse looking across Lake Oliver, with wood plank floors, an X-brace railing, a teak dining table for six, and an orange-leafed tree at the far end — The boathouse upper deck. Lake Oliver in November.

Stone-walled wine cellar at LONGVIEW with a heavy timber-beamed ceiling, two tall bottle racks under sconces, and a wood tasting table set with bottles and decanters — The cellar. Stone, timber, a long tasting table.

“A formal oak allee leads to a gated, fully fenced property with rose gardens, a parterre garden, and a private secret garden.”

The Estate

A house built in conversation.

LONGVIEW is the product of four hands working in agreement. Architect Yong Pak set the proportions and the geometry. Spitzmiller & Norris, with builder Johnny Cargill, brought the renovation. Suzanne Kasler wrote the interiors. Page | Duke and Carmen Johnston laid the grounds. The result is a 24,851 square foot residence that does not feel its size, because every room was given its own light, its own ceiling, its own role.

Inside, the Jerusalem stone foyer opens to a double staircase and a two-story living room finished in Venetian plaster, with sweeping views to the water. The family room is paneled in lime-washed white oak. The river room carries a pecky cypress coffered ceiling. The kitchen, recently rebuilt, is Calcutta gold marble, Christopher Peacock cabinetry, and Waterworks fittings, with a butler's pantry behind it. The main level primary suite was redesigned in full, baths and closets included. Upstairs, six ensuite bedrooms.

Below grade, the terrace level runs commercial: a catering kitchen, walk-in cooler, dumbwaiter, sauna and steam, large gym, wine cellar, and a fully automated three-stall gun range. Concrete-and-steel structure. Geothermal HVAC. Lutron lighting. Hope's steel windows and doors. Elevator to all three levels. Whole-house generator. Cedar-lined closets. Four-car garages. A pebble tec heated pool. A custom chicken coop and a playhouse on the grounds. And, at the dock, a newly rebuilt two-story boathouse with motorized lifts under a cedar shake roof.

The Lake

Private Water

Lake Oliver runs along the Chattahoochee River, one of the most refined and least known waterfront environments in the region. Quiet, intimate, and the reason this address exists.

The Setting

Lake Oliver, as it lives.

Lake Oliver stretches along the Chattahoochee River, an exclusive, intimate strip of water that almost no one outside the region has heard of. It is fifteen minutes from Columbus Airport, ninety from Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta. Worlds away from city noise, close enough to it to matter.

Columbus itself is anchored by Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies and is built around the outdoors: miles of riverfront walking and cycling paths, top tier golf courses, private clubs, a private airport, and the country's premier urban whitewater course. Sophisticated. Quiet about it.
