About this home

Perched on Sugar Mountain, Citadel Unit 3228 at Sugar Top places residents and guests within minutes of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and the broader adventure of the High Country. The building's elevated position delivers soaring, layered views with Grandfather Mountain commanding the horizon. Inside, the fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bath Citadel unit is move-in and rental-ready, with an in-unit washer and dryer rounding out the convenience of resort living without the resort hassle. The amenity package is exceptional: gated entry and front desk services greet arrivals, while the indoor pool, sauna, hot tub, and fitness center anchor the building's recreational core. A newly installed outdoor fire pit and a picnic area positioned for sunset watching extend the experience outside, and an on-site snack center keeps the convenience close. POA dues cover Spectrum cable and high-speed internet, and short-term rentals are permitted, making this a compelling option for buyers seeking both a personal retreat and an income-producing asset. Skiing, snowboarding, golf, tennis, hiking, and year-round outdoor recreation are all within easy reach. Unit 3228 represents a rare combination of views, amenities, and rental flexibility in the heart of the High Country.
