Prime for horses, farming, or creating your private mountain retreat, enjoy 37+ acres at over 3,100 feet. This rare Sapphire, NC estate combines privacy, versatility, and breathtaking natural beauty. Bordered by the Nantahala National Forest, the property includes three unrestricted parcels with residential and agricultural zoning, gently rolling pasture, mature forest, a pond, abundant wildlife, and five wells already in place. A short hike or ride on horseback leads to the scenic Thompson River, making it ideal for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking a compound or investment opportunity.
The residence offers a flexible layout with two bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an attached in-law suite for additional occupants or guests, plus a bonus room. The main living area features an open-concept great room with a wood-burning fireplace, sunroom, separate dining room, and eat-in kitchen, along with a bedroom and two full bathrooms. The attached suite includes its own kitchen, one bedroom, one full bathroom, a spacious office, and a deck overlooking the pasture and pond. Throughout the home, generous closet space and abundant storage keep everything organized. Modern touches include a professional gas stove, underground utilities, and a 3-zone HVAC system for year-round comfort, and a septic expansion permit for a third bedroom allows room to grow.
Beneath the home, two garage bays provide sheltered parking, while the expansive lower-level space—accessed by two full-view garage doors—functions as ATV storage, a workshop, and a potting shed, or can serve as a gathering area. Additional structures include a heated, detached 2-car garage and a barn/workshop to support hobby farming or horses.
Located just minutes from Sapphire’s dining, golf, and resort amenities, close to Gorges State Park, and within a short drive of Highlands, Cashiers, or Brevard. Travel times are also convenient: just over an hour to Greenville, SC, and less than three hours to Atlanta. This property delivers rare land, location, and elevation for a dream residence, working farm, multi-use retreat, or investment holding.
