Welcome to your mountain retreat in the prestigious gated community of Headwaters at Banner Elk, where luxury living meets breathtaking long-range views. This exceptional custom-built home is offered furnished and showcases remarkable craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and outstanding amenities throughout.

Designed to comfortably accommodate family and guests, the home features four private primary suites, including one on the main level, two on the upper level, and one on the lower level. Above the oversized two-car garage, a spacious 21'6" x 38'5" bonus room offers endless possibilities for a media room, game room, office, bunk room, or additional living space.

The gourmet kitchen features a gas range, granite countertops, and a custom island with built-in shelving. The adjoining great room offers soaring vaulted ceilings, stunning views, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The lower level is designed for relaxation and recreation, featuring a comfortable den, wet bar, private gym, and a one-of-a-kind custom wine cellar highlighted by a floor crafted from pennies. Throughout the home, architectural details and vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of mountain elegance.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy cool mountain evenings beside the wood-burning fireplace on the expansive deck, complete with a summer kitchen for effortless entertaining. A hot tub on the lower deck provides the perfect place to unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings. Two interior gas fireplaces add warmth and charm throughout the seasons.

Recent property improvements include professionally installed landscaping, a water feature, sealed crawl spaces with humidity control, a tankless water heater system, and a radon mitigation system for enhanced comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. In addition to the oversized garage, a separate UTV garage offers convenient storage for outdoor adventures.

A unique opportunity accompanies this property: the option to purchase a 1/8 ownership share in a private 170-acre nature preserve adjacent to Headwaters. Shared among only eight homeowners, this extraordinary preserve offers miles of trails, hiking, UTV riding, picnicking, a shooting range, and the serene beauty of Falls Creek winding through the landscape.

Headwaters at Banner Elk offers exceptional amenities, including a mountaintop clubhouse with a fitness center, theater room, game room, gourmet kitchen, dining area, great room with fireplace, and tennis/pickleball court. Residents also enjoy a lakeside pavilion, multiple parks, a dog park, scenic waterfall, and abundant outdoor recreation. Emergency helicopter access is available via the clubhouse parking area.

Ideally located near downtown Banner Elk, this home provides convenient access to year-round High Country attractions, including skiing, hiking, golf, whitewater rafting, concerts, fine dining, shopping, and more.
