Five minutes to downtown Banner Elk, and a whole mountain of amenities right outside your door. This 0.91-acre homesite sits just inside the side gate of The Lodges at Eagles Nest, giving you the best of both worlds: gated mountain living and a quick five-minute drive to downtown Banner Elk’s shops, restaurants, and seasonal festivals. Head into town for dinner and be home before dessert would have arrived. Building here is refreshingly simple. The gentle slope and easy topography keep site prep straightforward, and a shared well is already in place, so you’re a step ahead before you ever break ground. The partially wooded setting offers natural privacy and a peaceful backdrop for whatever you have in mind. The lot is in a maintenance-free section, so exterior upkeep is taken care of. Your time up here goes to the mountains, not the yard. And the mountains are calling. Eagles Nest has miles of hiking and ATV trails, tennis and pickleball courts, a climbing tower, playgrounds, two on-site restaurants, a full fitness center, a dog park, and events happening all year long. Weekend getaway or forever home, this is your chance to build in one of the High Country’s most in-demand communities. Bring your plans.
