With a minimum home size of just 1,200 heated square feet, the North properties also provide considerable flexibility for buyers considering a wide range of architectural styles and mountain home designs. N3-A's central position within Eagles Nest provides convenient access to many of the community's major amenities while maintaining the natural mountain setting that defines this part of the community. Encompassing more than 3,000 acres with elevations reaching approximately 5,200 feet, Eagles Nest offers a remarkable variety of mountain landscapes, including long-range ridgelines, mature forests, waterfalls, streams, dramatic rock formations, preserved natural areas, and access to the Elk River. Owners enjoy an extensive collection of community amenities and experiences, including The Great Camp, Camp Eagles Nest, The North Pavilion, Eagles Nest River Club, Epic Chophouse, fitness facilities, multiple dining and gathering venues, and miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and ATV riding, along with convenient proximity to the privately owned, membership-based Eagles Nest Winery. For buyers searching for a high-elevation homesite where panoramic mountain views, distinctive natural character, thoughtful buildability, and architectural flexibility come together, Homesite N-3A represents a compelling opportunity to create a mountain home shaped by both the land and the remarkable setting of the North section.
