Land with Home for Sale in Sapphire, North Carolina

Set within Burlingame, one of the Plateau's most sought-after communities, this mountain retreat pairs an exclusive address with exceptional living spaces. Every lot along Heritage Drive offers river frontage and spans more than two acres, while the land directly across the street is protected by a conservation easement that will never be developed - ensuring the setting endures. Thoughtfully positioned on the main level, the main living area features an open floor plan, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling natural rock fireplace that serves as the focal point of the space. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with a Thermador appliance package and flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. The well-appointed primary suite is conveniently located on the main level, while the lower level offers three additional bedrooms, a comfortable gathering area with a wet bar, and a flexible space ideal for a media room, office, exercise room, or recreation area. A distinctive covered back porch is designed to embrace the spectacular surroundings. Relax by the fireplace while taking in views of the Horsepasture River and the 17th fairway at Burlingame, or gather with friends for an evening overlooking the water and golf course. Outdoor living continues with an extensively hardscaped gathering area just beyond the home, complete with a fire pit, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying cool mountain evenings. A landscaped trail leads toward the riverbank, offering an inviting way to experience the property's natural beauty and the peaceful sounds of the river. Because construction is still underway, a prompt buyer may have the opportunity to select certain finishes and personal touches, adding a custom element to this exceptional property. This is a rare opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat with riverfrontage, golf views, extraordinary outdoor living, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan - all within Burlingame, one of the area's most sought-after addresses.
