42 Hemlock Hill Road Unit #B, Banner Elk

$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.
