    What's special

    Serene pondGently rolling pasturesWood-burning fireplacePrime elevationMature forestFive excellent wellsAbundant wildlife
    This 37+ acre mountain estate offers exceptional privacy, versatility, and natural beauty at over 3200’. The Cherokee named the area “Shi yo” meaning friendly place. With game trails, abundant sun, and water, it provided the Cherokee with a summer hunting ground as evidenced with numerous artifacts found on property. With unrestricted zoning and bordered by the Nantahala National Forest these three unrestricted parcels have many variable uses. Gently rolling pastures, mature forest, a serene pond, abundant wildlife, and five excellent wells provide an outstanding foundation for the new owner. It has been used by the owner for their own private enjoyment; however, there are numerous options the new owner can choose from - a working farm, equestrian property, or there is plenty of space to build your personal mountain dream home to enjoy or you can develop it! A short hike or horseback ride leads to the scenic Thompson River, adding to the property’s unique appeal. The residence features a flexible layout with 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large bonus room with lots of natural light, and spacious living areas which could be used as multigenerational suites. The main suite includes an open-concept great room with a wood-burning fireplace, sunroom, separate dining room, a commercial gas stove in the eat-in kitchen, along with one bedroom and two full baths. The attached suite offers its own kitchen, one bedroom, one full bath, a spacious office, and a private deck overlooking the pasture and pond. Modern infrastructure includes underground utilities including fiber optic, and a 3-zone HVAC system. Beneath the home, two garage bays provide covered parking, while the expansive lower level—accessed by two full-view garage doors—serves as ATV storage, a workshop, potting shed, or entertaining area. Additional structures include a heated, detached 2-car garage and a barn/workshop suitable for horses or hobby farming. Located minutes from Sapphire/Cashiers' dining, golf, and resort amenities, close to Gorges State Park, and an easy access to Highlands and Brevard. Travel times are convenient—just over an hour to Greenville, SC, under an hour to Asheville airport, and under three hours to Atlanta. This property combines gently rolling land, prime elevation, and exceptional versatility, making it one of Sapphire’s most compelling large-acreage opportunities. Owner is a licensed NC Realtor.
