Discover a mountain oasis nestled in the gated community of Bald Rock in Sapphire, North Carolina. Situated on a dead-end road and designed for privacy, with the white noise of a nearby waterfall in the background, you'll feel like you've entered your own private world. As you come to the end of the long drive, a flagstone entryway, lush landscaping, and breathtaking views welcome you to the custom post and beam home. Entertain your family and friends in this perfect space, where the main level's open floor plan, oversized kitchen island, and two stacked-stone wood-burning fireplaces (in the living room and sitting area) provide an ambiance for cozy gatherings. The main level features everything you need for daily living, whether you seek a vacation home or full-time residence, while the lower level boasts a home theater, home office, three additional bedrooms, a kitchenette, a card room, and four updated bathrooms with heated floors. Custom lighting, wallpaper, and textiles create unique living spaces for each room. The home was extensively renovated over time while maintaining many of the thoughtful touches inspired by the original owner and builder. Outside, you will experience private, one-of-a-kind spectacular views of Bald Rock while relaxing on your expansive back decks as the sounds of rushing water soothe you. The backyard features a small wading pool, beyond which Twin Falls (Long Branch and Maidenhaire) meet to feed Fairfield Lake below. This friendly, relaxed community will provide you with a rejuvenating mountain lifestyle. You will enjoy exclusive access to an equestrian center, trails for hiking and riding, the Divide pavilion, and trailheads that lead directly into Panthertown Preserve. From those trailheads, you can access a breathtaking 6,300 acres of peaks, valleys, streams, and waterfalls nicknamed the “Yosemite of the East.” This home provides upscale living in a beautiful location where you'll feel immersed in a private forest. |
