Discover an exceptional homesite in the desirable Summit section of Crooked Creek, positioned at the top of the development for added privacy and a peaceful mountain setting. Lot 45 offers approximately .92 acres with a flat entry point from the end of a cul-de-sac and a gently sloping landscape that lends itself well to building. As the property slopes gradually toward the lower portion of the lot, approved tree work may provide the opportunity to enhance a potential view. Enjoy the convenience of city water and sewer availability, eliminating the need for a private well and septic system, along with underground power already serving the community. Its location at the top of the development and near the end of the cul-de-sac helps minimize through traffic and creates a more private setting for your future mountain home. Crooked Creek also offers low HOA dues, with homes in the Summit section subject to an approximately 3,000-square-foot minimum home size. Short-term rentals are not permitted, helping Crooked Creek maintain the feel of a more established residential neighborhood. Crooked Creek is conveniently located near downtown Banner Elk, providing easy access to shopping, dining, Banner Elk Park, and the greenway. From this central High Country location, enjoy nearby golf, tennis, skiing, hiking, vineyards, equestrian activities, Grandfather Mountain State Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and many of the area's most popular attractions.

The view everyone wishes they had, at 5,000 feet elevation in The Reserve at Sugar Mountain. This is one of the few condos in the development with a truly unobstructed view. While most condos in The Reserve overlook each other and sit above the road below, this one looks straight out over layered Blue Ridge mountains with nothing in your line of sight. Step inside to an open design with high ceilings throughout, and there it is: the view. The living room centers on a vented gas stone fireplace with a wood mantel, and the kitchen opens to the living and dining areas with an eating bar, stainless appliances, and generous cabinet storage. The primary bedroom enjoys the same massive view and opens to the deck, and the primary bath offers a double-sink vanity and tiled shower. The second bedroom is light and bright, and natural light carries throughout. Then there's the deck: deep, wide, and spanning the full width of the condo — morning coffee, evening wine, string lights overhead, and miles of sky in front of you. This is where you'll spend your time. Offered furnished. Short-term rentals are permitted, though the sellers have never rented. Internet is included in the quarterly HOA fee. Minutes to skiing, tennis, and golf at Sugar Mountain, the shops and dining of Banner Elk, and world-class hiking throughout the High Country.
