About this home

Welcome to Birds Nest on Sugar Mountain, a custom built and thoughtfully designed for elevated mountain living. This distinguished Sugar Mountain retreat offers over 5,000 square feet of well-planned space just moments from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and minutes to shopping, dining, and year-round attractions.

Positioned to capture long-range Blue Ridge Mountain views, the residence spans multiple levels with exceptional versatility. The main and lower levels function as two fully equipped living quarters, each featuring en suite primary bedrooms, additional guest bedrooms, laundry rooms, open-concept living and dining areas, and full kitchens—providing flexibility for hosting large groups or accommodating multi-generational living.

The lower level is designed for gathering and recreation, complete with a spacious kitchen and large bar area, billiards space, and two generous flex rooms suitable for additional sleeping areas, game rooms, media space, or home offices. Upstairs, an expansive dormitory-style flex room is currently configured as a large sleeping space and could also serve as a bunkroom or additional lounge area. Numerous flexible spaces throughout the home allow for customization to suit a variety of lifestyle needs.

Two expansive decks extend the living space outdoors, offering cool summer breezes, long-range mountain views, and a comfortable setting to enjoy Sugar Mountain’s Fourth of July fireworks. A newly added jacuzzi enhances the outdoor experience.

Additional highlights include a new HVAC system, two-car garage, mature landscaping, and custom roadside bear-proof trash enclosures, allowing for convenient bi-weekly roadside trash pickup provided by the Village of Sugar Mountain. The property has demonstrated strong rental performance due to its size, layout, and location. Offered fully furnished and appointed, this home presents an excellent turnkey opportunity for personal enjoyment or investment.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
