About this property
Lovely 3 bdr/3ba in Sapphire, with high & long golf & mountain views
This beautiful home is a rare find as it features an inviting interior in a desirable location where it is always cooler than other areas due to the mountain elevation over 3200 ft... The "no steps " entrance to the home features a king size bedroom on main floor with two full baths , a king-size bedroom downstairs with a bath and utility room. There is an loft with twin beds which is ideal for one to two children. In the beginning of 2020 we had the adjoining bath to the bedroom on main floor completely renovated with a walk-in tiled shower, new higher vanity, new flooring and comfort toilet in all of the baths. Wood floors, high ceilings, comfortable & stylish furnishings make this home so desirable. The kitchen is fully equipped and, while the appliances are older they are very clean and work beautifully for those who enjoy cooking . There is a wrap-around deck on the main floor with comfortable deck furniture and new gas grill. There is a private balcony off the downstairs bedroom with additional seating. It is the ideal spot for mature adults who love nature, the outdoors & enjoy cooler temps during the summer months and beauty of nature without having to endure difficult drives. Plus you have access to the many wonderful Sapphire Valley Resort facilities including, pools, tennis, golf, fitness center and Lake Access. The resort provides day trips to nearby areas of local interest. There is a very inexpensive fee ( $2.00 per day per person) that guests pay to enjoy these features. The shopping and dining are just wonderful in the immediate area. It is about a 5-10 minute drive into Cashiers and a 20-30 min drive to Highlands .State parks & waterfalls are within very close proximity. It is about 1 hr. drive into Asheville. This is an ideal vacation area and spot that you will want to continue to return to again and again.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Mora
I have been coming to the Sapphire area for many years but always as a renter. Originally, from New Orleans, we live in Jacksonville, Florida where the summers are very warm. I rented Villa 1 for several years for the month of August until the owner sold it last summer. I loved the convenience of the location and found that #3 was on the market. The views from this unit were just lovely and the floorplan was workable . My husband and I purchased the unit and have spent months redoing it to our tastes and needs. I think we have achieved a good balance of comfort and attractiveness. I have decorated the unit with many personal items as I wanted it to feel like a home and not just a rental unit. I hope that you will find the views and the unit a place that you will want to return to again and again.
Why they chose this property
Being from flat land, I find many of the mountain homes in the area are intimidating due to the steep drives and rather frightening accessibility. My unit is easy to drive in to with no steep inclines plus the parking is right on each side of the unit with literally NO STEPS to enter unit. The main level goes (both front and side) right out to the wonderful wrap around deck with gorgeous views of the 13 th fairway of the golf course.a stream, and mountain . There are 2 very large bedrooms with king size beds and a very cute loft on 3rd floor which is really good for an older child or children as it has 2 twin beds up there . There is no bath up there ,however, there are 2 full baths on the main floor. The other wonderful feature of this home is that you can walk out you front door and go across the street to the lake or walk through the woods on some great level walking trails. I love that feature of my location.
What makes this property unique
Quiet, wonderful views, close to many many natural attractions plus wonderful shopping , and good restaurants. I could just sit for hours on my deck watching the birds and many critters down below on the golf course in the late afternoons. If you are a golfer, you will enjoy watching players attempt this very difficult hole. Oh. and when I walk in the evenings on the cart paths around course, you can always find golf balls that the golfers have lost. We even still have 'fireflys" here which I love to watch in the early evening. I also love the boutique shopping in this area- no matter how long I stay here , I never get around to seeing all of the shops in the Cashiers and Highlands areas.
