Welcome to Happy Trails, a masterfully designed mountain sanctuary nestled within the maintenance-free Overlook Village within the highly sought-after Lodges at Eagles Nest. This exceptional three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence represents the perfect intersection of rustic charm and modern sophistication, offering a lifestyle of serenity and adventure in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From the moment you arrive, the home's pride of ownership is evident; the entire exterior has been recently re-stained, and brand-new gutters have been installed to ensure the property is as protected as it is beautiful. Happy Trails is the ideal choice for a primary residence, a seasonal getaway, or a high-performing short-term rental investment. The main level serves as the heart of the home, featuring an expansive open-concept living area that emphasizes comfort and connection. A rich leather sofa and inviting armchairs are perfectly positioned around a stately gas fireplace, while large windows frame the surrounding wilderness to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. Culinary enthusiasts will find themselves at home in the gourmet kitchen, which has been thoughtfully updated with premium stainless steel appliances and sleek granite countertops. The oversized island provides ample prep space and features additional bar seating. For more formal gatherings, the adjacent dining area comfortably accommodates six guests. Functionality is a hallmark of this property, highlighted by the newly added garage that provides ample parking and additional storage. This leads into a separate mudroom entrance, offering a dedicated space for outdoor gear, complemented by full laundry facilities and a convenient bathroom accessible from this side of the home. The main level also hosts the primary king suite, a retreat designed for ultimate rest. This spacious bedroom offers direct mountain views. The ensuite bathroom is a masterpiece of design, featuring a pristine tiled shower with a custom glass door and a sprawling granite double vanity that offers plenty of storage and style. The upper level is dedicated to entertainment and additional guest comfort. A versatile loft space serves as a secondary living area, complete with a plush couch and a corner table for board game marathons while admiring the scenery through the large windows. The highlight of the loft is the cocktail table arcade, pre-loaded with hundreds of classic games to provide hours of fun for all ages. A unique and valuable feature of this loft is the inclusion of closing doors, which allow the room to be used as a quiet office or a lively game room without disturbing the rest of the house. The sleeping quarters on the second floor include two well-appointed bedrooms separated by a full bathroom. One bedroom features a luxurious king bed, while the other is a thoughtfully designed bunk room with two sets of built-in twin-over-twin bunks, maximizing sleeping capacity without sacrificing style. The outdoor living spaces at Happy Trails are truly what set this property apart. Step out onto the deck to find a premium hot tub where you can soak away the day while gazing at the long-range, breathtaking views of the Appalachian range. As night falls, follow the path to the custom fire pit area. Located in the Overlook at Eagles Nest, you are just moments away from world-class amenities including hiking and ATV trails, fitness centers, and community pavilions.
