917 Whitewater Ridge Rd, Sapphire, NC 28774

Sitting at 3,700 feet of elevation on Waddle Mountain, this well-built estate overlooks a 180-degree majestic view of Lakes Jocassee, Hartwell, and Keowee and the mountains beyond, as well as innumerable other landmarks, such as Caesar's Head, Whiteside Mountain, and the distant night lights of Greenville, South Carolina. Designed by Allen Brown and built by Sapphire Builders, the home sits on over four acres of manicured lawns in the premier gated community of Whitewater Ridge. High-quality appointments reign in this timber frame home with thoughtful details everywhere you look, such as coffered ceilings, three masonry fireplaces, and pocket doors. The home chef will love the light-filled gourmet kitchen with its knotty alder cabinetry, Star Beach granite countertops, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Dine al fresco on the covered patio by the wood-burning fireplace while watching the dramatic mountain sunsets. Three of the four bedrooms offer private balconies overlooking the unbelievable view. Outside, a three-car garage provides space for vehicles, while a shed stores gardening tools. The epic view with such level, easy access makes this home a rare find. Burlingame Country Club is close by for club amenities, which include three dining rooms and two lounges, as well as a 24-hour fitness center, a top-ranked championship 18-hole golf course, four Har-Tru tennis courts and one hard court, heated swimming pool, and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation.
