Description
Tucked high above the Blue Ridge Mountains, where mornings arrive quietly and the views seem to stretch endlessly, this exceptional luxury log cabin in Sunalei Preserve offers a rare and refined mountain experience. Set on over three private acres, the home is thoughtfully positioned to capture breathtaking 180-degree, long-range layered views that unfold from nearly every vantage point. From the moment you step into the vaulted great room, anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, your gaze is immediately drawn outward to the horizon beyond. Just outside, a covered porch with its own wood-burning fireplace invites year-round enjoyment--perfect for savoring sunrise coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine as the mountains fade into dusk. The main level is designed for effortless living, featuring a spacious, well-appointed kitchen and a serene primary suite with sweeping views. The spa-inspired bath offers a soaking tub and a beautifully finished walk-in tile shower, creating a true retreat within the home. Upstairs, a loft and two guest bedrooms provide a welcoming and private space for visitors. The lower level is ideal for gathering and entertaining, complete with a second stone fireplace, a game room, an additional bedroom and bath, and flexible spaces suited for fitness, hobbies, or relaxation. A private path winds down the mountain to a secluded outbuilding--once an observatory--now ready to be transformed into a studio, creative retreat, or peaceful escape beneath the stars. Life in Sunalei Preserve extends far beyond the home itself. Encompassing nearly 1,000 acres of protected land, with elevations reaching over 5,500 feet and direct access to Elk Knob State Park, this gated community offers a rare blend of privacy and natural beauty just 20 minutes from Boone. Residents gather at High Mountain Camp--one of the highest elevation clubhouses in the eastern United States--to take in unforgettable sunsets and connect with neighbors in a truly special setting. With no short-term rentals permitted, Sunalei Preserve remains a quiet, preserved enclave--intentional in its design and unmatched in its sense of place. Sunalei (pronounced Su-nah-lay-ee) is Cherokee for ''morning.'' The name was inspired by the early morning light reflected in the high peaks of the Appalachians. In another nod to the Cherokee, all of the streets in the community end in Nvno (pronounced Nuh-no) which is Cherokee for ''road.''
