Welcome to Sunalei Preserve, a gated community in western NC, located 20 minutes to downtown Boone, NC and 20 minutes to Mountain City, TN. Sunalei Preserve lies on Snake Mountain, with elevations ranging from about 3,900 to over 5,500 feet—making it the highest-elevation residential community in the North Carolina High Country. As more land in the region is subdivided or developed, large, low-density properties like this are becoming increasingly rare. If you’ve been waiting for the right land opportunity in the High Country, this is one to pay attention to. Straddling NC and TN, the preserve spans approximately 1,000 acres—800 in Watauga County, NC, and 200 in Johns...on County, TN. Imagine building your dream home at 4500 feet, while enjoying amazing sunsets and long-range mountain views with ski slopes in the distance. Travel down to the clubhouse, High Mountain Camp, for an evening of games and relaxation. It includes a massive stone fireplace, huge open decks, a bar with a pool table, a kitchen, a ping pong table, games, and a fitness room. Visit https://sunalei.us/ for more information on Sunalei Preserve. This property has 4.62 acres in NC and the remaining 13.79 acres is located in TN. Price shown is for all 18.41 acres.
