5 Beds 5 Baths 1002709 MLS
Perched on 7.68 acres at the highest point in Burlingame, this unique property offers outstanding, unobstructed 360-degree views. Chosen by the original developer for his own family home and guest house, this most unique property offers remarkable privacy, scale, and presence with many custom features throughout. Enter through the front door into a large foyer and seating area centered on a wood-burning fireplace and crowned by a raised octagonal ceiling with a massive light fixture. The main living area continues the octagonal theme and is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling masonry fireplace. Walls lined with wormy chestnut create warmth and character, while the expansive layout offers numerous entertaining possibilities. A commercial-grade kitchen supports gatherings of all sizes and reflects the home’s history of hosting and hospitality. The flexible floor plan has most recently served as a training facility for religious leaders, yet it can easily be adapted into a substantial private residence. The fully equipped guest house includes two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a full kitchen, a living room, and a dining area — each positioned to enjoy the incredible long-range views. Outdoor spaces are equally compelling, with a manmade water feature, gazebo, and sweeping grounds that take full advantage of the elevation. From outside the main house, ascend the spiral staircase to the cupola rising high above the roofline, where views extend for miles in every direction. Utilitarian details and acreage combine with architectural distinction to create a truly one-of-a-kind offering within the Burlingame community. Burlingame is a family-focused mountain community set at approximately 3,000 feet in Sapphire, North Carolina, offering a lifestyle that balances natural beauty, recreation, and connection. Winding roads, parks, hiking trails, fishing ponds, and trout waters create an inviting setting for time outdoors, while homes range from golf-course residences to riverfront and mountain-view retreats. At the heart of the community is Burlingame Country Club, featuring dining, social spaces, an 18-hole championship golf course, fitness facilities, tennis, pickleball, croquet, and a heated pool. Club membership is available upon application and approval and is not required for property ownership, allowing residents to enjoy Burlingame’s relaxed, welcoming lifestyle at their own pace.
