This rare “mountain flat” homesite offers an ideal combination of usability and location—making the building process far more approachable than many High Country lots. Enjoy paved access, underground utilities, and low POA fees, all within a neighborhood known for its high-quality homes and strong rental appeal. Short-term rentals are permitted, offering flexibility for both personal enjoyment and investment potential. Located just minutes from the slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort and the charming town of Banner Elk, you’ll also be a short drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Grandfather Mountain—some of the region’s most iconic destinations. Sugar Mountain amenities include golf, tennis, skiing.. year-round outdoor recreation! This property is being offered by a well-respected local builder who recently completed and sold the home on the adjoining lot, providing added confidence and insight into the build potential. Shared well rights are in place, and a 4-bedroom septic permit (issued November 2019) remains valid, with a state-approved extension following Hurricane Helene. If you’ve been searching for a homesite that checks the boxes for location, ease of build, and investment potential, this one is worth a closer look.
