Homesite C-89 is a 1.51-acre mountain homesite located on the front side of The Lodges at Eagles Nest, offering elevations reaching approximately 3,800 feet and a picturesque setting immersed in surrounding mountain ridgeline views in nearly every direction. The property features a gently sloping building site with substantial usable space, creating meaningful development value by supporting a more efficient and cost-effective path to future construction compared with many steep mountain properties. The topography allows flexibility for a wide range of custom mountain home designs while maintaining a strong visual connection to the surrounding natural landscape. A prominent natural boulder outcropping creates a dramatic focal point for future architectural integration, outdoor living design, or landscape planning, while mature trees and layered mountain surroundings enhance the property’s overall mountain character and sense of immersion within the Blue Ridge environment. Positioned for convenient access, the homesite is just a short drive from the front gate and several of Eagles Nest’s premier amenity destinations, including Epic Chophouse, The Great Camp recreation area, and the on-site Dollar General for everyday conveniences. The Lodges at Eagles Nest encompasses more than 3,000 acres of high-elevation terrain with elevations exceeding 5,200 feet and is recognized for its balance of preserved mountain landscape and thoughtfully developed lifestyle amenities. The community features panoramic mountain views, waterfalls, dramatic rock formations, flowing streams, extensive trail systems for hiking, mountain biking, and ATV riding, access to the Elk River, and a wide range of gathering and recreation destinations including Eagles Nest Winery, Camp Eagles Nest, Eagles Nest River Club, The North Pavilion, and Epic Chophouse restaurant. As buyers continue to prioritize usable topography, natural mountain character, and convenient access to core amenities within Eagles Nest, homesites offering this combination of buildability, setting, and location are becoming increasingly difficult to find, making C-89 a compelling opportunity for future custom mountain construction within one of the High Country’s most established luxury mountain communities.
