Fully Remodeled Turnkey Mountain Cottage in Beech Mountain, Eastern America's Highest Town. Quartz, Heated Tile Floors, Stone Fireplace, Long-Range Blue Ridge Views. Income-Producing. Welcome to your mile-high escape. Perched above 5,000 feet in Beech Mountain, the highest town east of the Rockies, this completely remodeled 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo is the rare vacation home that is finished and ready to enjoy the day you close. Summer temperatures here rarely top 75 degrees, roughly 15 degrees cooler than the Piedmont, so this is where Charlotte, Raleigh and Florida families come to breathe. Every surface has been thoughtfully updated. The open floorplan great room centers on a stone wood-burning fireplace with a chunky wood mantel, the kind of spot you picture on a snowy evening with a glass of wine. The fully renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, a center island with breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances, white subway tile backsplash, open shelving and statement pendant lighting. The primary bath has been fully renovated with a tiled shower, modern fixtures and heated tile floors, a true luxury at this elevation. Wood-look flooring, insulated windows and doors, a dedicated laundry room with a stackable washer and dryer, a 2022 metal roof and a 2022 water heater round out a home that simply does not need anything. Step out to the covered deck and take in layered long-range views across the Blue Ridge that shift with every season. Beech Mountain Resort is minutes from your door with skiing, snowboarding, tubing, lift-served downhill mountain biking in summer, the 5506' Skybar and Beech Mountain Brewing. The Emerald Outback trail system, Buckeye Recreation Center, Fred's General Mercantile, the Land of Oz and the town's summer concert series are all part of daily life here, with Sugar Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Banner Elk and Boone a short scenic drive down the mountain. Whether you are looking for a ski cottage, a summer retreat from the heat, a base camp for fall leaf season, or a turnkey short-term rental with established 2025 rental income and a proven year-round demand cycle, this condo delivers all four. Assigned parking in front of the unit, main-level entry with no stairs to climb, and an HOA that covers exterior maintenance mean you spend your time on the mountain, not on upkeep. Bring your skis and start making memories at 5,000 feet.
