About This Home

Just listed! Worth the wait! This beautifully maintained Sugar Mountain retreat features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a spacious 565 sq. ft. garage, and year-round long-range mountain views from a secluded lane bordered by rhododendron and hardwoods. Both levels are fully above grade, and the garage can be easily air conditioned for flexible use. Purchased as virtually new in 2007, the home has been thoughtfully and consistently upgraded. The expansive backyard includes a fire pit, picnic area, and access to an old, wooded logging trail. The inviting upper level showcases the home’s charm and strong sense of arrival. In the great room, soaring tongue-and-groove cathedral ceilings, walls of windows, and French doors open to the observation deck. Carefully selected Blue Ridge Mountain-style furnishings and accessories complement the setting and are included with few exceptions. The updated chef’s kitchen flows into the living and dining areas, making entertainment easy, and features stainless appliances and fixtures, slate countertops, and a like-new gas range. The primary suite is located on this level. It offers a beautifully appointed bath with a jetted tub, large walk-in shower, and dual vanities, with an updated 2024 half bath and full-size laundry nearby. Natural light from windows on two walls enhances this inviting retreat, which continues the tongue-and-groove ceiling detail with custom lighting and a ceiling fan. The lower level includes two spacious guest bedrooms, a full bath with tiled tub/shower, a mudroom, and direct garage access; French doors from each bedroom open to the covered lower deck. Custom features and furnishings enhance both levels. A full upgrade list is included with the listing, along with select personal and decor exclusions. Notable improvements include a new roof, stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, new hardwood flooring, and fresh interior/exterior paint in 2020; a tankless propane water heater in 2022; and a queen bunk bed ensemble with pull out trundle in 2025. Short- and long-term rentals are permitted. When not reserved for personal use during winter holidays and peak summer months, the home is professionally managed by Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals as Bearadise Cabin and has averaged $31,000 per year in occasional rental income over the past 3 years. Located at an elevation of 4,500+ feet midway up Sugar Mountain in an upscale residential neighborhood, the property is minutes from Sugar Mountain Resort, the Village of Sugar Mountain tennis and golf course, dining, shopping, hiking, downhill biking, music, theatre, and year-round outdoor recreation. Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain State Park, and Banner Elk offer even more ways to enjoy the best of the High Country.
Pictures tell the story beautifully. Opportunity priced and waiting for another family to enjoy, this one is not to be missed.
