Elegant Mountain Home with Views

Welcome to Morning Star!

Mountain elegance at its finest. Enjoy the sunrise over a stunning backdrop of mountains at this classic home in Banner Elk. Morning Star boasts a spacious floor plan, with a newly added level of living space and an expansive flagstone patio with an outdoor fireplace, a built-in gas grill, and a hot tub. It is conveniently located in The Farm, a private gated community just minutes from downtown Banner Elk. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort is less than 10 minutes away. Beech Mountain Ski Resort, Grandfather Mountain State Park, and Valle Crucis, home of the original Mast General Store and the popular Community Park, are each within a 20-minute drive. The town of Boone, filled with shopping and dining options, is 35 minutes from the home, as is quaint downtown Blowing Rock.

Step through classic stone arches and enter the foyer and light-filled living room. There is a cozy seating area in the living room around the gas log fireplace. Another living room table sits facing the wall of picture windows revealing the beautiful mountain view, it is equipped with games or as extra dining room seating. To the right of the foyer, the Library provides walls of books and a small desk. The spacious open kitchen offers a gourmet experience preparing meals with an oversized fridge, granite countertops, and built-in ovens. The large kitchen island with two barstools, a dining table plus auxiliary tables and chairs can seat up to 16. Off the kitchen is a large study with office space and an oversized laundry room with counters, shelves, and hanging racks. Also on the main level is a two-car garage equipped with a workbench and storage where you can shed ski boots, store equipment, and hang coats or other gear.

The outdoor stone patio will beckon you to relax and enjoy the mountain scenery. Cook dinner in the outdoor kitchen area equipped with a built-in gas grill, an outdoor dining table, and a stone fireplace, then relish a twilight soak in the hot tub.

The king master suite on the main level includes a walk-in closet, and sitting area near the French doors to the patio. The master bathroom contains a soaking tub, a seated vanity, a tiled shower for her, and a separate counter, sink, and tiled shower for him.

Best Labor Day Weekend!

Amazing views and an all around gorgeous house including decor. The house is convenient to several hiking trails. We loved every minute of our stay. Zero room for improvement.

Short Stay

Lovely house on a good lot with nice views. Master was quite nice. Patio was quite nice, a tv over the outdoor fireplace would add a lot. The only place to watch TV is a small study that is not well furnished. If there was a TV in Living area and outside over fireplace, I would rent it again.
