Residential Land for Sale in Sapphire, North Carolina
20 Whitetail Dr, Sapphire, NC 28774
From the moment you step on lot 20 in the Preserve at Rock Creek, you are drawn to 180-degree, long-range, unobstructed mountain and valley views that hold their drama in every season. Ridge after ridge unfolds across the horizon, and because the lot is surrounded by protected conservation land, the panoramic view is yours to cherish year-round. The groundwork is already done. This 2.63-acre estate lot sits above 4,000 feet and offers a cut-in driveway, a 2026 survey, and 2026 soil assessment for an approved septic system. Minimal clearing is needed for the build envelope. Underground community water, electricity, and broadband are available at the lot, so you can move from vision to blueprint without the usual delays of building in the mountains. The Preserve at Rock Creek is an upscale, gated community built around privacy and the natural world. Its expansive estate-size lots give each homesite real breathing room, and 150 of the community's 320 acres are set aside as conservation land. Parts of the community border the 6,300 protected acres of Panthertown Valley National Forest land, often called the Yosemite of the East. Hiking trails and waterfalls run through the community itself, so your morning walk can end at cascading water. For those who want more than wilderness, Burlingame Country Club is located just across the street, with memberships available. Cashiers, Lake Toxaway, Gorges State Park, Highlands, and Brevard are all within easy reach for dining, shopping, and lake days. Protected views, build-ready land, and a community that values quiet as much as you do, this is one-of-a kind estate mountain lot that is as practical as it is breathtaking. Come walk the property and experience the views and privacy of The Preserve for yourself.
