About this home

Welcome to Headwaters at Banner Elk, a premier gated mountain community offering an exceptional collection of resort-style amenities. Lot L11 features approximately one acre of flat, buildable land and is ideally located just two lots from the community lake. Priced below its tax-assessed value of $63,000, this homesite presents an outstanding opportunity to build your mountain retreat or investment property. Short term rentals are allowed. Residents enjoy access to a lake built for fishing and kayaking, stocked with trout, bass, bream, and catfish. The 6,000-square-foot, two-story clubhouse features a fully equipped chef's kitchen, stone hearth and fireplace, indoor dining area, library, fitness room, large shower facilities, and a game room with professional billiards, ping pong, and foosball. A theater room accommodates up to 20 guests, while outdoor amenities include covered dining areas, expansive decks, and gas grills. The open-air lakeside pavilion provides covered gathering space and a cozy wood-burning fireplace overlooking the water. Miles of hiking and biking trails wind throughout the community, leading to a year-round waterfall and access to the Elk River. Additional amenities include a secured dog park, children's treehouses connected by swinging bridges, regulation-size tennis and pickleball courts, and a basketball court. Enjoy the privacy of a gated mountain community while remaining convenient to everything the High Country has to offer-approximately 15 minutes to downtown Banner Elk, 12 minutes to Eagles Nest Winery, 25 minutes to Sugar Mountain Resort, 30 minutes to Beech Mountain Resort, and 45 minutes to the neighboring towns of Boone and Blowing Rock. Lot L11 offers a rare combination of usable land, exceptional amenities, and an ideal High Country location at an affordable price.
