We have been enjoying the beautiful Sapphire area for generations. We purchased our own place at The Hilltop (the most breathtaking, gorgeous, energizing place in the world to us!) because of Private access to the spectacular 77-acre Fairfield Lake created in 1896 for paddle boating, swimming, fishing, canoeing, sailing, hiking, historic Camp Merrie-Woode and a spectacular mountain view just a few minutes walk from our front door. Bring your groceries to our spacious kitchen and don't drive anywhere! Cool summer climate to enjoy getting back to nature! The Breeze of Fresh Mountain Air Blowing Through the Villa when we choose not to use our Central Heating and Air Conditioning. Access to Private Sapphire Resort Amenities galore to stay fit in whichever ways you choose. Bird-watching—especially hummingbirds. Hiker-Nature-Bird-enthusiasts' paradise with trails and waterfalls galore: Whiteside Mtn., Panthertown Valley, Whitewater Falls, Glen Falls, etc.! Central Western NC location to many unique towns-attractions: 20- minute drive to breathtaking Whitewater Falls—tallest falls east of the Mississippi; 10-minute drive to Cashiers and 25-minute drive to Highlands—historical quaint towns, antiques, boutique shopping, amazing restaurants-eateries and much more; under 45-minutes to Blue Ridge Pkwy-Sliding Rock-Pisgah Forest-Looking Glass Falls, Brevard, Sylva; just over an hour to Asheville and The Biltmore House, Flat Rock, Hendersonville, Maggie Valley and Cherokee to name a few.
