“Old Sapphire”
185 Little Cottage Way, Sapphire, NC 28774
6 BR / 5.5 BA / 18.46 AC
OFFERED FOR $4,295,000
Surrounded by other private properties, this elegant yet casual circa 2005 home was custom designed with references to 1905 Cape Cod cottages. Arriving at the 18.46 acre estate property on a gently ascending, sweeping paved driveway, one is greeted by an immaculate lawn, tidy landscaping and a two car garage. The expansive Carolina Room which runs the length of the house also serves as its casual foyer. The interiors are graced with beautiful 300 year old reclaimed oak floors, shiplap walls and four stone fireplaces. Chefs will enjoy the Bosch, Wolf and Thermador appliances in the kitchen which has beautifully handcrafted flush cabinetry and granite countertops. Bedrooms on all three levels are nicely separated for privacy, and the cozy den/game room and stair-nook office add a variety of uses. This “Old Sapphire” estate property is private and unrestricted, but is just a golf shot away from Burlingame Country Club! An additional 66-acre mountainous parcel may be available to the buyer of this fine property.
