New custom log cabin on Sugar Mountain offering the perfect blend of mountain charm and modern style. Featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and a light-filled open floorplan, this home feels both spacious and welcoming. With two master suites on the main level plus an additional upstairs bedroom. Imagine hosting guests over summer, winter trips over the holidays skiing and snowboarding, and renting this home out across the leaf season. Nestled on a wooded homesite, the property offers privacy while being only minutes from downtown Banner Elk and just 8 minutes from grocery stores and daily conveniences. Located directly across from Sugar Mountain Golf & Tennis and moments from skiing, hiking, and year-round activities, the setting is truly unbeatable. Uniquely decorated with an edgy, colorful twist—not the typical heavy rustic cabin—this mountain retreat is move-in ready and full of character.
