Sunalei Forest Estate #3 offers 10.20 secluded, wooded acres within one of the High Country’s most intentionally preserved and low-density mountain communities. Perched at just over 4,200 feet in elevation, this homesite features a gentle, build-friendly slope and captures both ridgeline and layered long-range mountain views. Each Sunalei Forest homesite permits a primary residence of at least 3,000 heated square feet along with a secondary guest home, creating flexibility for estate-style living or multigenerational use. Horses are permitted, reinforcing the large-tract character and legacy nature of this release. Sunalei is thoughtfully designed to follow the natural contours of the Blue Ridge Mountains, drawing inspiration from the classic Great Camps while preserving the untamed character of the land. The community consists of fewer than 100 homesites across its expansive mountain setting — a density level that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate today. Approximately 60 acres at the summit are owned by the Sunalei Property Owners Association, and more than 500 acres within the community and surrounding Elk Knob State Park are permanently protected conservation land, creating a rare sanctuary of preserved ridgelines and uninterrupted views. Multiple streams run through portions of this property and down Snake Mountain, ultimately feeding the North Fork of the New River — widely regarded as one of the world’s oldest rivers — adding natural beauty and ecological significance to the land. Sunalei Forest represents the final release within the community — a curated collection of high-elevation estate-sized homesites, most exceeding 10 acres, selected for privacy, view corridors, and long-term preservation. Estate #3 is located just a short drive, bike ride, or walk from High Mountain Camp, the mountaintop gathering lodge featuring a commercial-style kitchen, billiards, an oversized stone fireplace, and an expansive deck offering panoramic western views stretching more than 100 miles into Tennessee. This is a rare opportunity to own meaningful acreage within a permanently protected mountain setting where elevation, space, and privacy define ownership.
