Behind the gates of the Country Club of Sapphire Valley, discover this peaceful home tucked into the private and natural setting of Golf Club Estates. From top to bottom, rustic touches such as hardwood floors and exposed ceiling beams create a classic mountain elegance. An enormous, double-sided stone fireplace serves as a stunning focal point in the living area, offsetting the soaring cathedral ceilings and large windows that brighten the space and bring the outdoors in. A split floor plan - with the primary bedroom and bathroom on one side of the home and two guest bedrooms plus two more bathrooms on the other side - allows for maximum privacy. In the primary suite, rejuvenate in the oversized garden tub and enjoy easy access to a lovely sunroom, beyond which a stone patio, water feature, and landscaping provide the ideal spot for relaxing outdoors. An apartment over the 2-car garage provides additional space for guests, complete with a range, kitchen sink, and full bathroom, plus large closets and walk-in access to the attic provide additional storage options here. This home's new owners will enjoy the best of life in the mountains! The covered and screened deck allows for tranquil days spent enjoying the temperate climate of the Plateau. On chilly evenings, the living room's wood-burning fireplace with gas starter provides soothing warmth and ambiance. And for outdoor adventure, all the amenities of Sapphire Valley Master Association will keep you entertained. Swim, canoe, or paddle boat on Fairfield Lake; practice your swing on the golf course; take a dip in the three swimming pools; and so much more! A fitness center, nearby restaurants such as Library Kitchen + Bar, and the charming shops of Sapphire Valley and Cashiers offer everything you need to revel in a relaxed, upscale lifestyle.
