Time here is not measured in minutes or hours, but by the passing of the seasons. The next soothing thought is that of your family in the casually elegant 'Tranquility Knoll,' which was designed by Bob Timberlake. Set in the serene seclusion of the Cox Mountain neighborhood, Tranquility Knoll is an expression of Bob's love for the American Arts & Crafts movement and his discerning eye for detail. From the furniture to the soap dishes, the home's elements are all seamlessly integrated to create a unique lifestyle in the cool north Georgia mountains. Every room draws its cues and decor from the palette of Bob's world-renowned paintings, making the home a true work of art."
