About this home
Charming Mountain Retreat with Guest Apartment & Breathtaking Views, nestled at the base of Beech Mountain with a coveted Banner Elk address, this inviting mountain home offers the perfect blend of comfort, modern updates, and rustic charm. Just minutes from both Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain Ski Resorts, the property is ideal for year-round living, a serene vacation home, or a smart investment opportunity.
The spacious main residence features an elegant primary suite conveniently located on the main level, complemented by open-concept living spaces that showcase stunning mountain views. Recent updates include all-new flooring throughout the basement and upper levels (2024), a new HVAC system and furnace (installed in December 2024), a brand-new roof (September 2025), and a new refrigerator (2023), ensuring peace of mind and modern convenience.
Step outside onto a generous deck, perfect for dining al fresco or simply soaking in the natural beauty that surrounds you. A standout feature is the detached guest apartment offering an additional 617 square feet of living space—not included in the main home's square footage—ideal for hosting visitors, generating rental income, or creating a private office or studio.
With two garages, including an oversized one for extra storage or workshop space, and postcard-worthy views of both Grandfather Mountain and Sugar Mountain, this property is a rare find in one of North Carolina’s most desirable High Country locations.
