luxury houses for sale Transylvania County, United States

Tucked into the trees just off US 64 in Sapphire, this brand-new (2026) 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom mountain retreat pairs craftsman warmth with modern mountain style. A timber-frame gable porch and cedar-shake gable accents welcome you home, while dark board-and-batten siding and a standing-seam metal roof give the exterior a refined, low-maintenance finish. Set on a private, heavily wooded 0.49-acre lot with a gravel motor court and professionally landscaped stone-edged beds, the setting feels like a true escape — yet it's minutes from Cashiers and Sapphire Valley. Inside, wide-plank white oak floors and a reclaimed timber-beam ceiling greet you at the entry. The vaulted living room is bathed in light from dual clerestory windows and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The chef's kitchen impresses with a waterfall quartz island, farmhouse apron sink, professional gas range with pot filler, a reclaimed-wood vented hood, and a walk-in pantry with custom shelving. A spacious laundry room on the main level adds everyday convenience. The main level offers three bedrooms and three full baths, including a primary suite with its own private office — ideal for remote work — plus a spa-style bath with a curbless glass shower, picture window, and designer tile. Upstairs, a large family room and a full bath provide flexible space for guests, a media room, or a second living area. Outdoor living shines here: a covered rear porch with vaulted wood ceiling and statement chandelier overlooks the wooded backyard, while a stone-edged gravel patio with a suspended fire pit and Adirondack seating creates the perfect gathering spot under the trees. New construction, thoughtfully designed, and privately sited — this is mountain living done right.

Imagine your dream mountain home—and this masterpiece is it. Built with reclaimed materials throughout, it offers sweeping panoramic mountain views and timeless character at every turn.

Nearby, the chef’s kitchen features a large island—an inviting gathering place for family and guests—along with upscale stainless steel appliances, a warming drawer, wine cooler, and ice maker. Just down the hall, the generous Primary Suite offers luxurious space and separate His and Hers baths.
