About this home

Move-in ready lock-and-leave in beautiful Burlingame. This well cared-for unit has undergone significant upgrades, including roofing the back deck to create a comfortable secondary living area and enclosing the side porch to provide a flexible den or bonus guest room—ideal for visitors or a quiet home office. The River Park Villas POA handles exterior maintenance and common areas, so you can fully enjoy mountain time without the chores.

Perched on the 1st green, the property offers outstanding, ever-changing views throughout the seasons. Inside, the thoughtful renovations blend practicality with charm, creating a relaxed yet refined mountain retreat. Burlingame is celebrated for its walkability and community amenities, including a 3-acre enclosed dog park, fishing on the Horsepasture River, a new playground, and frequent neighborhood activities—perfect for families, pet owners, and outdoor enthusiasts. Members may also take advantage of the country-club’s extensive offerings, from golf to social events.

Conveniently located just 60 minutes from Asheville Airport, the unit is only 15 minutes from Cashiers’ shops, farmers markets, and restaurants, and another 15 minutes to Highlands’ Main Street with its boutiques, galleries, and fine dining. Whether you’re seeking a seasonal getaway, full-time mountain home, or a low-maintenance investment property, this residence combines comfort, convenience, and authentic plateau living—ready for you to move in and start enjoying.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
