Sunalei Preserve lies on Snake Mountain, with elevations ranging from about 3,900 to over 5,500 feet—making it the highest-elevation residential community in the North Carolina High Country.

Imagine building your dream home at 4500 feet, while enjoying amazing sunsets and long-range mountain views with ski slopes in the distance. Travel down to the clubhouse, High Mountain Camp, for an evening of games and relaxation. It includes a massive stone fireplace, huge open decks, a bar with a pool table, a kitchen, a ping pong table, games, and a fitness room. Visit https://sunalei.us/ for more information on Sunalei Preserve. This property has 4.62 acres in NC and the remaining 13.79 acres is located in TN. Price shown is for all 18.41 acres.
