This one-level, three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence in Sapphire High is thoughtfully designed for easy mountain living, featuring an open-concept floor plan anchored by a stone fireplace, with wood flooring, cathedral ceilings, granite countertops, and abundant natural light throughout. A double garage adds everyday convenience, while the single-level layout offers effortless accessibility for both full-time living and weekend escapes. The outdoor living experience is equally compelling, with a spacious back deck designed to take full advantage of the sweeping views — ideal for dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding in the fresh mountain air. A dedicated firepit area creates a warm, inviting setting to enjoy cool Plateau nights under the stars year-round. Set on 2.29 acres in the heart of Sapphire Valley, the property includes access to one of the Plateau’s most comprehensive amenity offerings. Residents enjoy golf, tennis, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, and a winter ski slope, along with access to private lakes, scenic waterfalls, and community gathering spaces that make year-round recreation seamless. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the home’s proximity to Panthertown Valley — referred to as the Yosemite of the East — with more than 30 miles of U. S. Forest Service trails spanning over 6,000 acres of protected wilderness, ideal for hiking, fly fishing, and exploring some of the region’s most dramatic natural landscapes. Just a short drive away, the charming towns of Cashiers and Highlands offer an elevated mountain lifestyle defined by fine dining, boutique shopping, award-winning golf, and a vibrant arts and cultural scene. The greater Highlands–Cashiers Plateau is known for its cooler summer temperatures, lush forests, and refined yet relaxed atmosphere that continues to draw discerning buyers year after year. Whether positioned as a private mountain retreat or a high-performing investment, the home offers strong potential as a short-term rental, thanks to its single-level layout, sought-after views, and access to resort-style amenities that appeal to a wide range of visitors seeking the full Plateau experience.
