A rare opportunity in Headwaters of Banner Elk—one of just four townhomes tucked into an approximately 3.5-acre setting, offering the ease of level entry, generous living space, and the privacy and beauty buyers come to the High Country to find. Beautifully updated and move-in ready, this three-bedroom mountain retreat combines comfort with effortless mountain living. High ceilings and abundant natural light create an open, inviting feel, while custom closets and generous storage make the home as functional as it is welcoming. Recent improvements include new interior paint, new carpet, a new roof, and a whole-home generator, along with additional storage in the storage shed/garage. Step outside and you'll understand what makes this home special. An expanded lower-level deck creates even more room to relax and entertain while enjoying the peaceful mountain surroundings. After a day on the slopes, hiking the trails, or exploring Banner Elk and Beech Mountain, come home to your private hot tub and settle in for a quiet mountain evening. Additional finished space with a sleeping area and full bath provides wonderful flexibility for family and guests. This approximately 313-square-foot area was completed by a licensed contractor but was not permitted and is therefore not included in the home's advertised heated living area. And then there is Headwaters itself. This established gated mountain community offers two lakes encompassing more than 20 acres of water, a lakeside pavilion, hiking trails, a waterfall, tennis and pickleball courts, an outdoor basketball court, and a spectacular clubhouse showcasing layered mountain views. Inside the clubhouse, owners enjoy a game room, dining room, fitness room, and theater. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, second home, or mountain escape, this is the kind of property that makes enjoying the mountains easy—level entry, spacious bedrooms, exceptional storage, extensive updates, inviting outdoor living, and outstanding community amenities, all within easy reach of Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. Arrive, unpack, and start living the mountain life you've been waiting for.

Lot G-61 American Eagle Trail, Banner Elk
$1,195,000
3.321 Acres ⋅ ACTIVE Status
RARELY does a mountain homesite offer this much without asking you to compromise—panoramic long-range views, usable acreage, privacy, and immediate access to Great Camp. Set at 4,200 feet in elevation and a southern orientation, this homesite captures expansive layered mountain views with Grandfather Mountain positioned to the left and dramatic Tennessee sunsets to the west. The perspective is especially notable—this lot enjoys the same general mountain-view orientation as Epic Chophouse, creating a beautiful backdrop for a custom mountain residence. Approximately 3.32 acres provides room to create a substantial homesite while maintaining privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The building area is favorable for mountain construction and avoids much of the extreme topography often associated with premium view property. G-61 is located immediately beside the Great Camp amenity area, including the amphitheater, Epic Chophouse, sports and recreation amenities, and the community’s touchless Dollar General market. Yet its position along American Eagle Trail keeps the homesite removed from the community’s primary roads, creating a setting that feels secluded without being isolated. Great Camp’s 3,200-square-foot minimum building requirement supports the scale and architectural character of the surrounding homes, making this an ideal setting for a thoughtfully designed luxury mountain residence. Offered for the first time since its original developer sale, G-61 is an increasingly rare opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Eagles Nest’s most desirable locations. View without extreme topography. Privacy without isolation. Acreage without sacrificing usability. Amenity access without main-road exposure.
