Perched near 4,400 feet in a gated mountain community, this gently sloping building site opens to exceptional long-range views — ridge after ridge, with cool summer days and nights that come with the elevation. It's quiet here in the way only a mountaintop can be: very little traffic, trees wrapping the land, and that high-country stillness a neighbor summed up simply as peaceful. Underground utilities keep the view clean, with no lines cutting across the sky. You're still only about 20 minutes from Boone — shopping, dining, and cultural events — and close to skiing, hiking, the New River and Watauga Lake, Grandfather Mountain, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Silverleaf is gated (a code is needed), and viewings are by appointment. In snowy or icy weather, the community requires chains on Silverleaf Road.

Discover an exceptional opportunity to create a custom mountain estate on 4.28 acres within Sunalei, one of the North Carolina High Country's most distinctive low-density mountain communities. Reaching elevations above 4,400 feet, Homesite C106 offers beautiful, long-range layered mountain views, gently sloping terrain, and expansive areas of naturally usable land. The property's remarkably accommodating topography is an important distinguishing characteristic, offering considerable flexibility for home placement, outdoor living spaces, and the overall design of a mountain retreat. Unlike many high-elevation mountain properties, C106 features generous areas of gentle terrain that are easily explored on foot, allowing prospective buyers to appreciate the landscape and envision the possibilities firsthand. Many of the listing photographs were captured from within the homesite itself, showcasing the natural setting and remarkable mountain scenery. Designated as a Camp homesite, C106 permits a primary residence, guest house, barn, and garage, subject to applicable architectural guidelines and approvals. The minimum heated living area for the primary residence is 3,000 square feet. This designation creates opportunities for a thoughtfully designed mountain compound, with room for family, guests, and the activities that make mountain ownership so rewarding. Located on the slopes of Snake Mountain near Elk Knob State Park, Sunalei encompasses nearly 1,000 acres of extraordinary mountain landscape across North Carolina and Tennessee, with fewer than 100 homesites planned throughout the community. Inspired by the historic Great Camps of the Adirondacks, Sunalei was conceived around a philosophy of thoughtful development, land preservation, and an enduring connection to the natural environment. Owners enjoy access to High Mountain Camp, a remarkable high-elevation gathering lodge featuring expansive mountain views, a magnificent stone fireplace, and inviting spaces for gathering with family, friends, and neighbors. Community hiking and recreational trails, underground utilities, and fiber optic connectivity complement the mountain setting while maintaining the character of the surrounding landscape. At Sunalei, the mountain itself remains the primary experience, offering a sense of space and tranquility increasingly difficult to find in today's mountain communities. For buyers seeking the freedom to create a distinctive mountain estate surrounded by remarkable natural beauty, Homesite C106 represents an opportunity worthy of consideration. While homes can be built, truly special land is a finite resource. Short-term rentals are not permitted within Sunalei. An additional Conservancy Fee equal to 0.5% of the lot's purchase price is due at closing.

Sunalei Homesite H406 offers 2.31 acres of beautiful high-elevation mountain land within the Forest section of Sunalei, one of the North Carolina High Country's most distinctive low-density mountain communities. Reaching approximately 4,400 feet in elevation, the property features mature hardwoods, a naturally occurring plateau building site, and the potential for sweeping, long-range northwestern views across layers of rolling Blue Ridge Mountains. With appropriate tree trimming and selective clearing, the building site offers an opportunity to capture the expansive mountain scenery that makes this setting so compelling. The property's topography lends itself to a custom mountain residence with a walk-out lower level, creating opportunities for generous outdoor living areas and decks overlooking the surrounding landscape. Designated as a Homestead homesite, H406 is subject to a 2,500-square-foot minimum heated living area requirement. A short drive within the community leads to High Mountain Camp, Sunalei's extraordinary high-elevation gathering lodge, featuring an impressive stone fireplace, expansive outdoor decks, and panoramic western mountain views. Owners also enjoy access to community trails and the natural beauty of the surrounding conservation lands. Inspired by the historic Great Camps of the Adirondacks, Sunalei was conceived around a philosophy that places the mountain itself at the center of the ownership experience. Encompassing nearly 1,000 acres across North Carolina and Tennessee, the community will ultimately contain fewer than 100 homesites, with substantial areas of the landscape dedicated to conservation and preservation. Thoughtfully developed infrastructure, including underground utilities and fiber optic service, complements the community's remarkable natural setting. Bordering Elk Knob State Park and situated on the slopes of Snake Mountain, Sunalei offers an uncommon combination of elevation, natural beauty, and thoughtfully limited development. For those who appreciate authentic mountain living, H406 presents an opportunity to create a custom mountain retreat within a community where the land remains the greatest luxury. While homes can be built, truly special land is a finite resource. Contact us to learn more about Homesite H406 and experience Sunalei firsthand.
