Atlanta native Chip Wade has building in his blood. Coming from a long line of experienced engineers, carpenters and craftsmen. Chip began working with his father at an early age – and over the years developed an interest in design and the creation of one of a kind builds. Chip transitioned into media in 2007, lending his carpentry skills to the Atlanta team of HGTV’s Designed to Sell. Since then, Chip has appeared on HGTV’s Elbow Room, Curb Appeal: The Block, Ellen’s Design Challenge, HGTV’s Design Star, Wise Buys, Super Great Rooms, Hotel Impossible, Oprah, Rachel Ray, The Weather Channel, Fox News, NBC and CNN. As an Emmy Award-winning host, designer and executive producer for networks such as HGTV, FOX, FOOD and DIY, Chip has become known for his creative direction and innovative problem solving. Whether it’s designing a renovation perfectly tailored to a family’s lifestyle or crafting a cutting-edge video production and immersive digital environment for brands to better connect with their customers, Chip’s vision always pushes the envelope of what’s possible and resonates with the every-day homeowner and fortune 500 companies alike.
The Pinhoti Peak Showhouse was designed as a private retreat and can also be used as an event space. The location includes multiple outdoor activities and destinations such as a shooting range, ATV
trail, hiking, a pool and an outdoor kitchen.
The house features a steel and timber frame and expansive glass, providing endless mountain views. Outside, you will find a covered and connected outdoor living area with a fireplace and hot tub. The property includes an RV hookup point for extra accommodation and a custom garage with ATV storage. The 4,700-square-foot house includes five bedrooms and four bathrooms, featuring the latest building envelope and construction products. The modern energy-efficient property has smart home connectivity and will showcase the latest decor trends.
Pinhoti Peak is located on 10 acres on the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It borders 60,000+ acres of national forest on all sides, with expansive hardwood views to the horizon in all directions. The pinhoti trail, a 350+ mile hiking and ATV trail, literally borders the property giving access to OHV trailers (for ATVs, side by sides and dirt bikes) through the national forest on designated trails for over 20 miles with no people or structures anywhere in site - true wilderness. This will play into the recreational theme of a destination location which is another very popular trending pastime for families.
