Step into a true mountain sanctuary in Unit 2511 at Sugar Top Resort. Located on the 5th floor, this desirable "slope-side" condo offers an immediate connection to the outdoors with front-row views of the Sugar Mountain ski trails. Unlike the standard "white box" units, 2511 features warm, cabin-inspired wood accents and a rustic aesthetic that perfectly captures the High Country spirit.
This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat is positioned perfectly within the building -- high enough for sweeping long-range vistas, yet conveniently accessible. Experience the ultimate "lock-and-leave" lifestyle with 24/7 gated security and a premier amenity package including a grand indoor pool, a hot tub, sauna, and a fitness center. Whether you’re looking for a proven short-term rental performer or a high-altitude escape at 5,000+ feet, this turn-key unit delivers. Enjoy cool summer breezes and winter wonderland magic, all just minutes from the dining and shopping of Banner Elk.
