Discover the perfect canvas for your mountain retreat in the heart of Sapphire Valley. Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in the private community of Whisper Lake, this 0.84-acre lot offers the ideal blend of serenity, scenery, and possibility. With sweeping views of the surrounding ridgeline and a three-bedroom improvement septic permit already on file with Transylvania County, your vision for a custom mountain haven can begin the moment you arrive. Imagine waking up to cool mountain breezes, stepping outside to enjoy a gently sloping homesite designed for effortless building, and ending each day with sunset colors dancing across the ridges. Just a short stroll down the road, the tranquil waters of Whisper Lake await—perfect for canoeing, paddling, or unwinding at the community lakeside area. Ownership here also grants access to the coveted Sapphire Valley Master Association amenities, offering a lifestyle as vibrant as the setting itself. Enjoy championship golf, spirited pickleball matches, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a community center, fitness room, and even an arcade for the kids. When winter settles over the mountains, skiing, snow tubing, and snowboarding bring seasonal fun to your doorstep. All of this, just minutes from town—where dining, shopping, and entertainment are ready when you are. Don’t miss the chance to claim your spot in Whisper Lake and create a mountain retreat you’ll treasure for years to come.
