Description
Sugar Pointe is quickly becoming the premier community on Sugar Mountain, N.C.- offering long-range views, cool temps, and a commitment to preserving nature.
Nestled among majestic boulders and thoughtfully landscaped terrain, this two-level log-sided cabin is a true mountain retreat blending rustic charm with refined luxury. From the moment you arrive, the natural stone retaining wall and lush surroundings set the tone for a property that’s as striking outside as it is inside.
Step onto the expansive covered decks—perfect for year-round enjoyment—and soak in the serenity from the private hot tub. Inside, warm wood tones and elegant finishes create a welcoming atmosphere, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace that invites relaxation. The heart of the home is the kitchen, where a rough-edge island crafted by the builder serves as a stunning centerpiece and conversation starter.
Every detail reflects quality and craftsmanship, from the custom woodwork to the thoughtful layout designed for comfort and style. The vaulted ceilings are present in the living area and primary bedroom. Bathrooms include vessel sinks and Smart vanity mirrors with Bluetooth and anti-fog systems. There are honestly too many amenities to list -- so you'll just need to make an appointment to see it yourself!
This custom cabin offers a luxurious escape in the heart of the NC mountains. We look forward to seeing you soon!

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter tells me that she's being bullied and no one seems to care at this school. Your staff needs to pay more attention to the students and if something doesn't seem right with a child, they need to ask that child and then do something about. No child should feel threatened when they walk into the school. That is the number one cause of drop outs. Some kids can't handle pressure from bullies and deal with their school work. All I ask is that someone start paying more attention to the signs of a bullied child and do something about it before something really bad happens to the children.Parent Review10y ago - Banner Elk Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHome of the 3 day school week... this is not a true mountain school but yet a school that misses a tremendous amount of time for trivial weather conditions. People here can not handle an inch of snow and function... the academics suffer from the loss of daysParent Review6y ago - Avery Middle

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers seem to really care for the students and quickly respond to all emails and phone calls about my child's grades or any concerns I have. Also, a lot of extra curricular activities for students to be involved with. They have a very active junior beta club that compete and have won at numerous leadership events. Their math counts and science olympiad teams have also been very successful. I don't think there is a better school in the area.Parent Review3y ago
