Some homes borrow their setting; this one was built into it. On 1.44 private acres in Burlingame, a stone-and-wood residence stands directly above the Horsepasture River, close enough that moving water carries through the gardens in every season. At the front of the property, a custom waterfall drops nearly sixty feet through a planted grade into a stone pond, a piece of the landscape arranged as deliberately as any room indoors. A fire pit, a gazebo, and terraced gardens follow the contours of the land, and a whole-home generator stands behind it all. The house comes furnished. Indoors, the scale answers the land. A twenty-five-foot cathedral ceiling rises over the living room's stone fireplace, cherry cabinetry, and a built-in wet bar. Brazilian Rosewood runs underfoot through a formal dining room, where tall windows hold the garden and waterfall, and into a kitchen fitted with cherry cabinets, two dishwashers, and instant hot water. A breakfast room looks over the rear gardens and the river. The main-level primary suite keeps its own fireplace, two walk-in closets, double vanities, a glassed shower, and a soaking tub; a sun room and a private library sit nearby on the same floor. The lower level opens to three more bedrooms, each with a private bath, alongside a second living room, an exercise room, a workshop, and a generous arts-and-crafts room. Decks on both levels step down with the gardens toward the water, where the river runs clear over stone. Two three-car garages and a golf cart bay handle the practical side. Burlingame Country Club sits a short drive away, with golf, croquet, tennis, and pickleball on its grounds, and membership remains optional. The Cashiers crossroads is about twelve minutes out by Highway 64. A Landmark broker can arrange a closer look.

This lot is one of the prime river locations on the Horsepasture River. It is very private and quiet at the end of Rockhouse Falls Road. 2.6 acres look across to Sapphire Valley's wooded land with the famous Narrows Waterfall. The river side of this lot looks up at the falls. Enjoy a large river pool that I am sure is full of fish and a great swimming hole or dog pond! This lot is really a tremendous site.

Almost 2.5 acres of gently rolling terrain with well over 200 feet of Horsepasture River frontage. The Horsepasture River is designated a 'wild and scenic' river. A zigzagging path has been cleared from the road down to the river and the building site has been marked. What a great location to build a riverfront home in a terrific community.

Privacy abounds on the 2.4+/- acre lot on the clean, crisp Horsepasture River. The property is on the corner of Heritage Drive and Randall Court and is fairly level at the top, which makes it an excellent area for a circle drive. The lot gets steep about 2/3rd the way down to the river; even then, you could have a great path to the river. Not many great river lots have an 'easy" building site like this one. Please see the map and photos. Line drawings are approximate.
