Here it is: the unicorn A-frame you've been waiting for. A true retreat perched on Sugar Mountain, wrapped in trees with a layered mountain view that shifts with the light. This 3-bedroom, 4-bath home with a loft blends classic mountain architecture with a clean, elevated interior that's both inviting and intentional. This one feels like a scene out of a magazine. The main level is all about connection. An updated kitchen anchors the space, flowing into an open living area with soaring cathedral ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass that pulls the outdoors in. The primary bedroom is conveniently on the main level, while the deck becomes an extension of the living space...perfect for slow mornings, golden hour light, and crisp mountain evenings. Upstairs, the loft offers that extra breathing room every mountain home needs...guest overflow, workspace, or a tucked-away escape. The lower level has been thoughtfully reimagined with two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, warm tongue-and-groove finishes, and a custom tiled shower. It's equal parts cozy and functional, with space to unwind after a full day outside. Short-term rentals are permitted, and with strong projected income, this one isn't just beautiful...it will perform. Just minutes from Sugar Mountain Resort, home to NC's longest runs, this location puts you close to skiing, hiking, mountain biking, golf, dining, wineries, and everything that makes the High Country such a special place to live, play, and invest.
