Falcon Ridge is a limited-development community high on Hogback Mountain in Sapphire, at more than 4,000 feet. Only 60 homesites are spread across 290 acres, and more than three-quarters of the property is set aside as green space. The result is a quiet, low-density mountain setting with plenty of room between neighbors.
The views are the reason people come here. From the ridge, homes look out over the Sapphire Valley below to Chimney Top and Whiteside Mountain, with long-range sightlines reaching into South Carolina. The cool temperatures at this elevation make summer especially comfortable.
Falcon Ridge is not a golf community, but Sapphire's courses are just down the mountain. Sapphire National Golf Club and Red Bird Golf Course are open to the public. The Country Club of Sapphire Valley and Burlingame Country Club are private, member-owned clubs, and High Hampton is a short drive away in Cashiers.
Fairfield Lake, the Sapphire Valley ski slope, and the recreation center are just down the mountain. Cashiers is a short drive west for dining, shopping, and the Village Green, and Highlands is just beyond. Rainbow Falls and the trails of Gorges State Park are a short drive down NC 281, and Lake Toxaway is just east on US 64.
Falcon Ridge offers custom mountain homes designed around the views, many with wide decks and walls of glass facing Chimney Top and Whiteside Mountain. Homesites are also available for buyers who want to build on one of the highest ridges in Sapphire.
