High Country Overlook at Eagles Nest

A warm Southern welcome to the *new* High Country Overlook at Eagles Nest, where every detail has been thoughtfully designed for your luxurious comfort and relaxation in mind. *June 2023 note: The interior of this property has just been stunningly refreshed by the owner, an interior designer. We love the mountains, and we love Eagles Nest, and we're so happy to share it all with you. Our main level includes a large open family room with incredible views through floor to ceiling windows. Sink into the huge, buttery soft leather sofa and oversized armchairs in front of the rustic 2-story rust-metal gas fireplace and large mounted TV. Or curl up in the single seat window reading nook, full of natural light and stunning views. Or set up your laptop at one of many options, including an antique desk near the front entrance. We've placed the dining room table for 8 near the floor to ceiling windows so that you can open the deck slider and enjoy the outdoors while you eat inside or out. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. There is breakfast seating for 3 at the kitchen bar, and 4 more at the natural wood freestanding kitchen island. There is a half bath off the kitchen area. We converted what was intended as the dining area into a "drop zone" - so that when everyone goes skiing in the winter, there is plenty of space for all of you to comfortably sit and take off all of your layers and gear easily. This area is also a great place for the kids to play games or hang out when they're not in the upstairs loft and game area. The primary bedroom with a king bed and en suite bathroom with double granite vanities, a walk-in closet, soaking tub and walk in shower is also located on the main floor - with stunning views from a total of 7 windows. The 4 bedroom windows look out on the back and side of the property - you'll wake up to beautiful views every morning! Upstairs, you'll find our open loft with gorgeous views of the vast green wooded area behind us, a ping pong table, a 3-games-in-1 game table (hockey, foosball and pool), beanbags for comfy kid seating, a low kids game table with poufs and a chest full of countless games and puzzles. Plus, a cozy gabled sitting area with deep leather chairs and an antique hanging lamp - a space just for the grownups, in front of a window facing front. Two more bedrooms are also upstairs - one, facing front, with another king bed, wall mount tv and spacious closet, and a huge bunk room facing back, with 2 sets of wood twin bunk beds and a closet. (Yes, the kids get the best view! They'll see lots of wildlife through these huge windows!) The second full bathroom (tub with shower) is located between these two bedrooms and has a hallway entrance. We also have a stacked washer dryer just outside the second floor king bedroom. The outdoor living is equally fantastic at High Country Overlook. We have 2 super comfy custom made adirondack lounge chairs with matching footstools, a dining table that seats 8 and a propane grill on our second floor deck, which is partially under roof. Be sure to plug in the lights at night! Around the side of the house, nestled into the trees, is our Bullfrog Spas hot tub. We are perfectly located in the Overlook section of Eagles Nest, within walking distance to the Winery and to the North Pavilion, which includes a fenced in basketball court, a soccer field, fire pit, dog park, helipad, the Sportman's Lodge, and so much more. You also have quick access to Beech Mountain via Mountain Pass Road, just a short drive away. Please note that to return to the home, guests must re-enter at the front gate. The Eagles Nest community offers a wonderful retreat with as much relaxation or adventure as you desire. With the main gate only 5 minutes from downtown Banner Elk, you will have quick access to loads of fun on both Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain. Each season presents its own gift full of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, or just enjoy the comforts of your home away from home. Nearby towns of Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis and Boone, home to Appalachian State University, add to the unique flavor and charm of the area. Activities and festivals year-round provide for as much activity as you desire. Call today to secure this property for your next Blue Ridge Mountain vacation!
