Sunalei Forest Estate #9 offers 10.41 acres of high-elevation mountain land within one of the High Country’s most intentionally preserved communities. Positioned along a scenic ridgeline on Snake Mountain, this remarkable homesite rises to approximately 4,625 feet in elevation and captures sweeping long-range sunset views across the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. The property features a gently sloping building site that allows for the design of a custom mountain residence that harmonizes with the natural contours of the landscape. Rolling mountain horizons and layered ridgeline views create an exceptional setting for a legacy mountain estate surrounded by forest and protected land. Sunalei is thoughtfully designed to follow the natural terrain of the Blue Ridge Mountains while preserving forests, ridgelines, and view corridors throughout the community. When complete, Sunalei will consist of fewer than one hundred homesites across the mountain, creating a rare low-density ownership experience centered on space, elevation, and conservation. Estate #9 borders preserved conservation land and sits in close proximity to High Mountain Camp, the community’s mountaintop gathering lodge featuring a large stone fireplace, expansive outdoor deck, and panoramic western views stretching across distant ridgelines into Tennessee. Surrounded by protected forest and located adjacent to Elk Knob State Park, Sunalei offers immediate access to hiking trails, wildlife habitat, and the remarkable natural beauty of the North Carolina High Country. Despite its peaceful mountain setting, the community remains a short drive from the towns of Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock. For those seeking estate-scale land, remarkable elevation, and authentic mountain living, Sunalei Forest Estate #9 offers an exceptional opportunity to create a legacy mountain home within one of the region’s most preserved landscapes.
