    CALLING ALL INVESTORS AND MOUNTAIN DREAMERS! Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior—this remarkable modern mountain retreat unfolds into an expansive living space with breathtaking long-range views. Perched high above Sapphire Valley, the home captures panoramic 60+ mile mountain vistas, with unforgettable sunrises and sunsets that truly take your breath away. This fully furnished (with minor exceptions) income-producing property is one of the most successful vacation rentals in the area, generating $150,000+ annually with bookings already filling through October and beyond. The home rents year-round, and the current owners are happy to share their proven tips for consistently booking it—an incredible opportunity for a property that could pay for itself in just over 10 years. Inside, the home lives comfortably for everyday mountain living but expands beautifully when friends and family arrive. The main level offers two bedrooms and two baths, an additional bonus/flex space, while the lower level opens up additional space, including another primary bedroom, bonus sleeping areas, a second living room, a game room, a kitchenette, and an additional view deck with a firepit below.. Whether it’s a quiet weekend escape or a gathering that keeps growing as friends invite friends, this is the kind of home that rises to the occasion with room to spare. The heart of the home is the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, where vaulted ceilings and a stone gas fireplace frame the incredible scenery. Expansive decks on both levels showcase a 120-degree long-range view, with the distant lights of Clemson University twinkling in the evening. Situated on 7.48 acres, with streams and mini waterfalls, the property offers exceptional privacy. The adjoining 5.62-acre lot is also available for an additional cost for expansion or a future family compound. Complete with a two-car garage, multiple entertaining spaces, and access to Sapphire Valley Resort amenities, this mountain escape is conveniently located near shopping, dining, hiking, waterfalls, and just one hour from Asheville Regional Airport. Don’t miss out on this amazing home with views that seem to last forever—and an opportunity that won’t. Properties like this, combining breathtaking long-range mountain views, proven income, and room to gather everyone you know, rarely come along and are truly once-in-a-lifetime.
