Property Description

Rare opportunity in Banner Elk offering long-range mountain views, one-level living, and short-term rental potential—PLUS AN ADDITIONAL LOT INCLUDED. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is positioned inside the gated community of Rocky Knob with paved access, a paved driveway, and a detached one-car garage, features that are increasingly hard to find together at this price point. From the moment you enter the great room, the views take over. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, skylights, and natural light create an open, inviting space designed to highlight the surrounding Blue Ridge ridgelines. The kitchen offers custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a large island with ample storage designed for everyday living or hosting. Both bathrooms have been updated, and the flexible third bedroom works well as a guest space, office, or additional sleeping area. Outdoor living includes multiple deck areas, a firepit table, and space to relax and take in the long-range views. An additional lot conveys with the property, offering flexibility for future use, privacy, or long-term value. Short-term rentals are allowed, making this property not only a mountain retreat but also an investment opportunity something not available in many comparable homes in this price range. Furnished with a few exceptions. You can change a house. You can't recreate this combination of views, flexibility, and opportunity.
