132 Azalea Court, Sapphire, NC 28774

Nestled in the heart of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, just minutes from the charming village of Cashiers, this Arts and Crafts-style home offers privacy, comfort, and natural beauty. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Sapphire Valley, it borders a scenic trail leading to the Horsepasture River — ideal for fly-fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The exterior of the home has been freshly painted, adding to its curb appeal and move-in readiness. Inside, wood flooring flows throughout, complemented by a modern Lutron lighting system, while the vaulted great room is filled with natural light from expansive windows to create an airy, welcoming space. An open-concept kitchen featuring granite countertops and a farmhouse sink connects seamlessly with the dining and living areas — perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The main-level primary suite offers both comfort and convenience, while a full guest bathroom on this level adds functionality. The upstairs loft includes a bonus room and a full bathroom. A spacious back deck has been reinforced to support a potential outdoor fireplace. The finished lower level features a large second living area with a stone gas fireplace, another bonus room with a closet, and a designated area for a prospective bathroom. This flexible space can be tailored to different lifestyles with potential for a media room, a game room, a studio, and more. Outside, a detached, air-conditioned two-car garage includes a beautifully finished guest apartment above, with a full kitchen, a living area, a bedroom, and a full bathroom. Under the garage is a partially finished space that is ready to be personalized. Currently, the home is served by a two-bedroom septic system and must be marketed as such. However, it has been approved for expansion to a four-bedroom system with the addition of a few more lines. A new water heater was installed in 2024. This property also offers excellent rental potential, thanks to its versatile layout, private guest accommodations, and desirable location near trails, rivers, and resort-style amenities. Residents of Sapphire Valley can enjoy access to indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, golf facilities, a community center, and more. Nearby, the stunning Narrows Waterfall adds to the area’s natural charm. Just minutes away, Cashiers offers amenities for dining and shopping, while the town of Highlands is a short, scenic drive beyond.
