About This Home

Mountain views, newly installed granite countertops, and no stairs! This 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo at Echota on the Ridge makes it easy to settle into the High Country lifestyle. Located on the main level at over 3,500 feet in elevation, the unit offers sweeping long-range views of Grandfather Mountain from the living room and covered deck.

Inside, the space is open and inviting, with a stone gas fireplace, brand-new granite countertops, and fresh interior and exterior paint in 2023. A new roof was added in 2024. The kitchen flows naturally into the living area, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the mountains. The primary bedroom features an en-suite bath and picture-perfect views. The second bedroom works well for guests or a home office. The property is being sold unfurnished, giving you the chance to make it your own.

Echota on the Ridge is a gated mountain community offering amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, clubhouse, and access to the Watauga River—great for fishing or simply unwinding by the water. Short-term rentals are permitted, offering flexibility whether you’re looking for a vacation getaway, full-time home, or investment opportunity.

Conveniently located between Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock, this condo puts you close to shopping, skiing, hiking, dining, and all-season mountain adventure.
