Lot G-61 American Eagle Trail, Banner Elk
$1,195,000
4425171 MLS
RARELY does a mountain homesite offer this much without asking you to compromise—panoramic long-range views, usable acreage, privacy, and immediate access to Great Camp. Set at 4,200 feet in elevation with a southern orientation, this homesite captures expansive layered mountain views with Grandfather Mountain positioned to the left and dramatic Tennessee sunsets to the west. The perspective is especially notable—this lot enjoys the same general mountain-view orientation as Epic Chophouse, creating a beautiful backdrop for a custom mountain residence. Approximately 3.32 acres provides room to create a substantial homesite while maintaining privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The building area is favorable for mountain construction and avoids much of the extreme topography often associated with premium view property. G-61 is located immediately beside the Great Camp amenity area, including the amphitheater, Epic Chophouse, sports and recreation amenities, and the community’s touchless Dollar General market. Yet its position along American Eagle Trail keeps the homesite removed from the community’s primary roads, creating a setting that feels secluded without being isolated. County tax records still reflect the former street name, Twilight Court; the road has since been renamed American Eagle Trail. Great Camp’s 3,200-square-foot minimum building requirement supports the scale and architectural character of the surrounding homes, making this an ideal setting for a thoughtfully designed luxury mountain residence. Offered for the first time since its original developer sale, G-61 is an increasingly rare opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Eagles Nest’s most desirable locations. View without extreme topography. Privacy without isolation. Acreage without sacrificing usability. Amenity access without main-road exposure.

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.

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. Perched at approximately 4,500 feet in elevation, this exceptional estate homesite enjoys year-round long-range northern views overlooking Tennessee's Appalachian Mountains while offering an extraordinary level of privacy rarely found within one of the High Country's premier luxury communities. 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. The community's newly paved rear entrance also provides convenient access to Beech Mountain Resort, while downtown Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain Resort, boutique shopping, dining, wineries, and year-round recreation are just minutes away. 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.
