Property Description

Nestled in the very back and at the very top of Echota on the Ridge, Morgans Ridge is a gated neighborhood within a neighborhood about halfway between Boone and Banner Elk, North Carolina. The homesites here are beautifully spaced apart and afford some of the finest long-range views in all of Watauga County. This site is the product of a recombination in 2023 that increased the size of the lot, while also providing additional buffer to the existing homes to the right and left. The result is a homesite of 1.47 acres at an elevation of 3700' -- flat to gently sloping at the front portion (where a home would likely sit), to more steeply sloping as one works down the hillside. A home would likely sit 30 degrees east of due north, with views for miles and miles to the NNE. A two-story home would likely have additional views to the south toward Grandfather. The half-dozen or so homes on Morgans Ridge are all beautifully done and the setting is quiet and sublime. Because this is a community within a community, ownership here includes access to all the amenities of Echota, including three swimming pools, two clubhouses, three fitness center, walking trails and (coming soon) pickleball courts.
