This charming cottage, crafted by Barnette Builders, offers outstanding value within a prestigious gated community. Thoughtfully designed, the unique floor plan maximizes every inch, while soaring vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings create an open, airy feel well beyond its footprint. Expansive windows invite abundant natural light throughout the home. Offered furnished (with a few exclusions), each bedroom features its own private bath for added comfort and privacy.
The kitchen is well-appointed with Bosch appliances, a gas range, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and built-in seating with hidden storage. Nestled in a private wooded setting, the home also includes a cozy fire pit area—perfect for relaxing evenings. Beneath the home, you’ll find a partially floored storage space ideal for additional needs. In 2025, a new electric hot water heater and whole-home filtration system were installed. The deck railing and front step handrails were refinished, and a driveway motion-activated flood light was added to the roof.
Located in Headwaters at Banner Elk, a luxury gated community in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this home sits conveniently near the entrance while maintaining a peaceful, secluded feel. A circular driveway allows easy access, and there is potential to add a garage. Residents enjoy six community parks, including a dog park, tennis court, two lakes, hiking trails, and a stunning mountaintop clubhouse featuring a theater, fitness center, game room, dining area, gourmet kitchen, and spacious gathering areas. Take in breathtaking long-range mountain views from the decks.
