About This Home

Discover comfort, convenience, and tranquil mountain living at Hidden Haven in scenic Sapphire Valley — just minutes from the charming village of Cashiers, North Carolina. This light-filled, single-level home is located near the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and perfectly positioned across from beautiful Hogback Lake.
Inside, the thoughtfully designed home features a split floor plan and an open main living area with soaring ceilings. The spacious great room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace — ideal for taking the edge off cool mountain mornings or enjoying cozy evenings.
Three distinct outdoor living areas provide an opportunity to fully enjoy the natural surroundings. The large front deck boasts serene lake views and abundant sunlight — perfect for relaxing or entertaining, while a charming firepit sitting area facing the lake offers a cozy spot for gathering under the stars. At the back of the property, a private deck surrounded by native flowering shrubs leads to a gently sloping yard, creating a peaceful retreat for quiet mornings or afternoon lounging.
Additional highlights of this move-in-ready mountain getaway include ample parking, generous yard space for gardening, and a private setting in a convenient location. Residents can enjoy the variety of gourmet and casual dining options offered in Sapphire Valley or take a short drive to Cashiers for more restaurants, boutique shops, and a fully stocked grocery store.
Residents of Holly Forest enjoy year-round Sapphire Valley Resort amenities, including heated pools, tennis, pickleball, a fitness center, a nine-hole golf course, and Fairfield Lake for swimming and boating. Winter fun abounds with skiing, snow tubing, and snowboarding. Just minutes from Cashiers’ charming shops and dining, Sapphire offers the perfect blend of adventure, leisure, and convenience.
This home is being sold furnished (with a few exceptions) and includes a canoe for use at the nearby lake common area. The current owners have lovingly maintained the property using it both as a personal retreat and a successful vacation rental. Notable updates include granite countertops, an updated tub in the primary bathroom, a brand-new roof installed in 2024, and an updated HVAC system in 2021.
