160 Bagpipe Way, Banner Elk, NC 28604

Tucked into the quiet beauty of the High Country, between Boone and Banner Elk, this mountain chalet feels like a place where time slows down. Just a short drive from Sugar Mountain Resort, it sits perfectly positioned to capture one of the region’s most iconic sights, the unmistakable profile of Grandfather Mountain. From the moment you step inside, the home welcomes you with light and air. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings overhead, beautiful high quality LVP flooring, and a wall of windows that directs your gaze outward, framing the mountains. At the heart of the great room, a stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, inviting quiet mornings with coffee or evenings spent listening to the crackle of a fire. The kitchen, newly reimagined with a thoughtful eye for detail, flows effortlessly into the living and dining areas, making it just as suited for intimate dinners as it is for lively gatherings. Nearby, the main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat.. convenient, private, and grounded in comfort. Upstairs, a guest suite provides its own secluded haven, while the lower level opens into a more playful, flexible space, a den/bunk room, an additional bedroom with its own bath, and a garage transformed into a game room where laughter can carry late into the night. But it’s outside where the home truly tells its story. Step onto the expansive back deck, and the world seems to stretch endlessly before you, open sky and that ever-present view of Grandfather Mountain. It’s a place for slow mornings, golden-hour conversations, and the kind of stillness that’s hard to find anywhere else. With its recent renovations, warm finishes, and the ease of being offered furnished, this home is ready to be lived in and loved from day one. Tucked within a quiet community that favors long-term roots over short-term stays, it offers something increasingly rare.. a true mountain retreat, whether as a full-time residence or a cherished second home. A new 3-bedroom septic system is being installed, all permitting has been completed, just waiting on an installation date. Please note: renovation work including kitchen plumbing/electrical, half bath, and HVAC was completed without permits, however all work was done by licensed contractors. Garage has been converted into a game area (not included in overall sq ft).
