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.
