Introducing “The Lookout”, a striking mountain lodge nestled within the coveted Whisper Lake community. This exceptional log home captures the very essence of Sapphire living, blending refined rustic elegance with modern comfort in a serene, private setting. A gentle approach reveals a charming garden area and an effortless half-moon driveway for easy arrival and departure.
From the moment you step inside, the home’s dramatic cathedral ceilings and commanding floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create a warm yet sophisticated mountain ambiance. The main level is thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and out to the deck, perfect for indoor-outdoor living, while a breakfast bar, a powder room, and a functional laundry/mudroom with a covered breezeway to the garage add convenience and practicality.
Expansive covered and screened decks invite you to take in sweeping Blue Ridge vistas, ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or gathering with friends around the grill. Above, a versatile loft provides an inviting space for a home office, reading nook, or additional lounge space. A spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with soaring ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom.
The lower level is equally impressive, offering two guest bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchenette, creating an ideal space for hosting family and friends. A second stone fireplace anchors the living area, while a bonus room and game space enhance the home’s entertainment appeal. Step outside to the covered deck and enjoy the year-round luxury of a private hot tub. Updates include a new roof in 2023 and the added peace of mind of a home generator. High-speed fiber optic internet ensures seamless connectivity.
Ownership in Whisper Lake provides access to a private lake for paddleboarding, fishing, and relaxation. Residents also enjoy access to Sapphire Valley Resort amenities, featuring golf, tennis, pickleball, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, hot tub, sauna, miniature golf, Lake Fairfield, a ski and tubing slope, and year-round social and recreational activities.
Offered turnkey and fully furnished, “The Lookout” presents a rare opportunity that’s equally suited as a refined mountain retreat or full-time residence, delivering an unparalleled lifestyle in the heart of Sapphire.
