Property Description

Room for everyone. Space to unwind. Mountain living at its best. Welcome to Birds Nest on Sugar Mountain, a fully furnished mountain retreat offering 5,185 square feet of versatile living space, long-range Blue Ridge Mountain views, and exceptional flexibility for personal enjoyment or rental income. Located just minutes from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and along the resort’s ski shuttle route, this custom-built home offers convenient access to skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round High Country recreation. With two fully equipped living quarters and generous gathering spaces, Birds Nest is ideally suited for extended family getaways, multigenerational living, or guests seeking a memorable mountain escape. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, privacy, and flexibility, the main and lower levels each feature a full kitchen, open-concept living and dining areas, an en suite primary bedroom, additional guest accommodations, and a dedicated laundry room. This distinctive layout allows extended family and guests to enjoy their own space while providing inviting areas to gather and reconnect. Designed for entertaining, the lower level features a spacious kitchen with an expansive bar, billiards area, and generous gathering spaces. Two additional flex rooms offer options for recreation, media, hobbies, or home offices. Upstairs, an oversized dormitory-style flex room provides even more versatility as a bunkroom, game room, or additional lounge. Throughout the home, vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces, and comfortable living areas create a warm and welcoming mountain atmosphere. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with two expansive decks showcasing long-range mountain views, refreshing summer temperatures, and a front-row perspective of Sugar Mountain’s Fourth of July fireworks. A newly added hot tub provides the perfect place to unwind after a day on the slopes, hiking nearby trails, or exploring the High Country. Additional highlights include a new HVAC system, attached two-car garage, mature landscaping, and custom bear-resistant roadside trash enclosures with convenient Village of Sugar Mountain pickup service. Situated on approximately one acre with no HOA, the property allows short- and long-term rentals and has an established rental history. Offered fully furnished, Birds Nest presents an appealing turnkey opportunity for buyers seeking a personal mountain getaway, an income-producing investment, or the flexibility to enjoy both.
