Perched above South Crest Road on historic Missionary Ridge, Oak Clift Estate feels removed from the pace of the city, yet downtown Chattanooga is approximately ten minutes away. Built in 1941 of brick and stone and thoughtfully revived to honor its original character, the 5,580-square-foot home sits amid approximately 5.3 acres of exceptional privacy. Life moves a little slower here. There is almost always a breeze on the ridge, and the views unfold in nearly every direction: sunrise toward the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east, the lower Appalachians to the south, and sunsets behind Lookout Mountain to the west. Together, they create an approximately 270-degree panorama that changes throughout the day. Landscaping designed by a master gardener surrounds the home with both new and established plantings, brick paths, rock walls, and a peaceful fountain. Several outdoor spaces invite you to experience the gardens and views in different ways: morning coffee in the courtyard, an afternoon on the side patio, a quiet moment in the front hammock, or an evening gathering on the lower terrace. The grounds and gracious interior spaces offer room to host more than 100 guests without losing the estate's intimate feel. Inside are five bedrooms, four and a half baths, a wood-paneled library that serves as a dedicated office, an updated kitchen, and a media room with a wet bar and in-wall surround sound. The former bomb shelter is now a music room, one of the home's more unexpected spaces. Fireplaces, hardwood floors, and enduring architectural details make the home feel like a step back in time, with the comfort and flexibility for life today. The estate conveys with three parcels, including two across South Crest Road to control your view. Original blueprints, historic photographs, and newspaper archives accompany a home whose story began more than 85 years ago. Oak Clift is ready for its next chapter. Owner/Agent.
