$225,000

1 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ 4430302 MLS

Welcome to 42 Hemlock Hill Road, a charming mountain condo located directly across the street from Sugar Mountain. With approximately 560 square feet, one bedroom, and one full bathroom, this second-level condo offers a manageable footprint for a mountain getaway, seasonal retreat, personal home base, or income-producing rental property. The condo is currently being used as a rental, offering the possibility of continuing that use while enjoying the property personally when it fits your schedule. The interior is arranged across two levels, creating separation between the main living area and private sleeping space. The main level provides space to relax, dine, and unwind after a day in the mountains. Upstairs, the bedroom and full bathroom are positioned together, giving the sleeping area privacy from the activity below. The two-level configuration helps this compact property feel functional whether staying for a weekend, spending a season here, or welcoming rental guests. Location is one of the property’s strongest features. Sugar Mountain is directly across Tynecastle Hwy, placing skiing, snowboarding, golf, hiking, dining, and seasonal activities within easy reach. Beech Mountain is approximately 25 minutes away, while Boone is approximately 30 minutes away, providing convenient access to several of the High Country’s best-known destinations. Banner Elk and the surrounding area add restaurants, shopping, outdoor recreation, festivals, scenic drives, and year-round mountain experiences. At 560 square feet, this property is designed around simplicity. Spend less time maintaining a large mountain home and more time enjoying why you came here. Winter brings days on the slopes, summer offers cooler mountain temperatures, spring opens the door to outdoor exploration, and fall transforms the High Country with seasonal color. When you’re away, the condo’s current rental use may provide an opportunity to generate income, subject to applicable HOA requirements, regulations, and restrictions. The condo does not include an in-unit laundry, but could be added if desired. The opportunity here is centered on location, efficiency, accessibility, and lifestyle. For someone who doesn’t need the size or maintenance responsibilities of a larger mountain home, the smaller footprint may be part of the appeal. Picture ski weekends, summer escapes, fall getaways, or quiet time in the mountains. Make the condo your own home base near Sugar Mountain, use it seasonally, or continue its current role as an income-producing rental. What the location allows you to do is paramount; arrive in the mountains, settle in, wake up close to the activities that brought you here, and experience the High Country without the responsibilities of a much larger property. For anyone searching for an approachable place in the North Carolina mountains, this condo offers a compelling combination of simplicity, location, personal enjoyment, and rental potential.

Some homesites require years of planning before construction can begin. This one gives you a remarkable head start. Set on 4.4 private acres within the gated community of The Lodges at Eagles Nest, extensive engineering, excavation, infrastructure improvements, and site preparation have already been completed, creating a rare opportunity to begin building your custom mountain estate far sooner than would otherwise be possible.

Surrounded by mature chestnut, red oak, and red maple trees, the property features two year-round mountain streams cascading into two natural waterfalls, and an incredible balance of wooded seclusion and mountain vistas. Unlike purchasing raw mountain land, much of the heavy lifting has already been completed. A professionally engineered private driveway extends approximately two-tenths of a mile into the property and features two DOT-grade bridges with wood plank decking, providing exceptional access to the future homesite. The primary building site has already been excavated, allowing the next owner the flexibility to design and construct a custom residence while benefiting from substantial infrastructure already in place. The property's layout also offers the potential for a private gated entrance, creating an even greater sense of arrival and privacy within the already gated community. An existing four-bedroom septic permit is in place, while the property's size and layout may offer the potential for a larger septic system, subject to county approval and permitting. Electrical service and fiber internet are readily accessible nearby. A private water well and septic system will be required. Residents of The Lodges at Eagles Nest enjoy access to an exceptional collection of private amenities, including the exclusive Epic Chophouse restaurant, Eagles Nest Winery, North Pavilion, Sportsman's Lodge, owners' fitness center, sports courts, and an extensive network of hiking, mountain biking, and ATV trails.

Very few estate homesites within The Lodges at Eagles Nest offer this combination of privacy, completed infrastructure, year-round mountain views, natural water features, and immediate access to one of North Carolina's most sought-after luxury mountain communities. Whether your vision is a legacy family estate, luxury mountain retreat, or seasonal escape, this exceptional property offers an opportunity that simply cannot be recreated without years of additional time, planning, and investment.

BIG PRICE DROP! 64.34 UNRESTRICTED ACRES with ~1600' of CLEAR CREEK running along the eastern boundary! This stretch is ROCKY, RUSHING, and NOISY! You can hear it half way up the mountain. Gentle ground right where you want it - along the creek and a nice old logging road leads you right to it. It wouldn't take much work to make it drivable. ELEVATION of OVER 3000' for COOL SUMMERS. Several areas with gentle ground throughout the tract with better views as you ascend. Tour while leaves are down to see for yourself. Harvest some of the timber for nice year round views. If you are feeling motivated climb to the top of the mountain for a real treat. The owner of the neighboring property did a lot of clearing so views from the ridge looking west are amazing! A nice quiet retreat but convenient as well. The town of Spruce Pine is an easy 15 minute drive where you'll find restaurants, shopping, groceries, & a hospital. Linville Falls is 15 minutes & Newland is 20.
