Perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac at over 3,300 feet in elevation, this thoughtfully designed Whisper Lake mountain home offers a rare blend of space, serenity, and effortless one-level living. Offered for the first time since the owners built it in 2016, the sprawling residence features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an inviting living room with a gas fireplace, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a second gathering space, home office, media room, or cozy retreat. White oak flooring extends throughout the home, adding warmth and timeless mountain character.
The spacious kitchen features custom knotty cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, and fingerprint-resistant stainless steel appliances, creating an attractive and functional space for cooking and entertaining. The generous primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate tiled shower. Three comfortably sized guest bedrooms provide welcoming accommodations for family and friends.
A roomy covered front porch welcomes you home, while the extra-large carport provides everyday convenience and protection from the elements. At the rear, the screened porch creates a peaceful place for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the wooded surroundings. A convenient gas-line hookup makes grilling easy without the hassle of propane tanks.
Set on 0.73 acres, the property is thoughtfully positioned to maximize seclusion. The level, usable backyard offers ample space for outdoor activities, pets, gardening, or gathering around a fire pit. A neighboring estate encompassing more than 30 acres borders the backyard, while the only adjacent residential lot remains unbuilt, with a generous natural buffer between its potential homesite and this residence. The result is an exceptionally peaceful wooded setting that feels wonderfully removed from it all.
Ownership in Whisper Lake provides access to the community’s residents-only lake for paddleboarding, fishing, and quiet afternoons by the water. Residents also enjoy Sapphire Valley Resort amenities, including golf, tennis, pickleball, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, hot tub, sauna, miniature golf, Lake Fairfield, skiing and tubing, and year-round social and recreational activities. This remarkable home is ideally suited as a refined mountain escape or an exceptionally comfortable full-time residence in the heart of Sapphire Valley.
