Beautifully reimagined and thoughtfully renovated, this exceptional three-bedroom, two-bathroom golf course home blends timeless mountain charm with modern comfort in the gated Country Club Estates community. Rarely available in the Cashiers-Sapphire area, the property offers true one-level living on a level homesite with an attached two-car garage, perfectly positioned along the 2nd hole of Red Bird Golf Links from a peaceful cul-de-sac setting. Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the home has been transformed with a warm mountain-modern aesthetic, featuring shiplap accents and ceilings, new flooring throughout, a gas-log fireplace, and a well-appointed kitchen with a gas range. The private primary suite is a relaxing retreat, thoughtfully designed with a dedicated hallway flanked by a luxurious ensuite bathroom on one side and an oversized walk-in closet on the other, leading into the spacious bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, where skylights fill the room with natural light. The spa-inspired bathroom features a soaking tub, separate shower, heated tile floors, quality fixtures, and a linen closet. Two comfortable guest bedrooms and a beautifully updated second bathroom provide welcoming accommodations for family and friends. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a huge covered back deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard and the 2nd fairway, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful mountain surroundings. The fenced backyard provides an ideal space for pets while blending seamlessly with the attractive landscaping. Recent improvements include LP SmartSide siding, a new roof (2024), and a new water heater (2025), providing years of low-maintenance enjoyment. Ownership includes access to the outstanding Sapphire Valley Resort amenities, featuring indoor and outdoor pools, golf, tennis, pickleball, a fitness center, recreation and community center, skiing, a zip line, playground, miles of trails, the Horsepasture River, and Lake Fairfield, where owners enjoy the beach, covered pavilion, scenic lakeside trail, and rentals. Just moments away are several popular restaurants and The Country Club of Sapphire Valley, where membership is available by invitation. Offered mostly furnished with only a few exclusions, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy beautifully updated mountain living in one of Sapphire Valley's most desirable golf course communities.
