Answer the call of the mountains with this 2 bedroom, 2 bath log-sided cabin in Banner Elk. 50 Cabin Ridge Lane sits halfway between Banner Elk, with its activities and dining options, and Newland, where crowds are minimal. It's about 4 miles to either, and just 7 miles from Sugar Mountain, with Beech Mountain ski resort around 9 miles away. The covered front porch is well suited to a morning cup of coffee in the rockers or an evening at the grill. The large rear deck offers space for gathering with friends and family around the fire pit for s'mores or a glass of wine from one of the local wineries, and it was engineered and built to support a future spa. Inside, large windows in the family room fill the space with natural light and give the feel of sitting in a treehouse, where a cozy stone fireplace with a gas insert anchors the room. A well-sized kitchen and dining area complete the main living space. At the rear of the home, two bedrooms share a full bathroom. Upstairs, a large loft is currently used as additional sleeping quarters with a king-size bed, alongside a nook with a double Murphy bed offering flexible space for a home office or additional guests, plus a second full bathroom. Furnished and turnkey with minor exclusions, 50 Cabin Ridge Lane has been a family retreat for years of gathering and making mountain memories, with easy access to skiing, dining, and the shops of the High Country. It's a proven mountain retreat with strong second-home and rental appeal. Back on the market with the prior buyer's full inspection reports being made available to the next buyer at no cost, a head start on due diligence.
