Located along a serene stretch of the Horsepasture River, this exceptionally flat and generously sized riverfront lot presents a rare opportunity to own more than 240 feet of pristine river frontage. Positioned on a gentle bend in the river, the setting offers peaceful water views and the calming sound of flowing water, while remaining close to wider, navigable sections of the river for added recreation. The property is tucked away at the end of a quiet, private cul-de-sac with minimal traffic, providing a sense of seclusion without sacrificing convenience. The location is a short distance from the Burlingame Country Club clubhouse and fitness center, where memberships are available, subject to application and approval. The lot’s usable, level terrain makes it especially well-suited for building, with easy access and a cleared trail that gently winds from the roadside to the river’s edge. The septic system serving this lot has already been installed by easement on the property across the road, simplifying future construction and development plans. Offering a rare combination of level topography, extensive river frontage, a desirable location, and proximity to high-end amenities, this is a truly exceptional parcel, ideal for those seeking both natural serenity and refined living. Burlingame is a family-focused mountain community set at approximately 3,000 feet in Sapphire, North Carolina, offering a lifestyle rooted in natural beauty, recreation, and connection. Winding roads, parks, hiking trails, fishing ponds, and trout waters encourage time outdoors, while homes range from golf-course residences to riverfront and mountain-view retreats. At the heart of the community is Burlingame Country Club, featuring dining and social spaces, an 18-hole championship golf course, fitness facilities, tennis, pickleball, croquet, and a heated pool. Club membership is by invitation and is not required for property ownership, allowing residents to enjoy Burlingame’s relaxed, welcoming lifestyle at their own pace.
