Perched at over 3,800 feet in elevation within the Farm section of The Lodges at Eagles Nest, Hidden Gem is a fully furnished four-bedroom custom lodge combining refined rustic mountain design, long-range mountain views, and a layout well-suited for both personal enjoyment and established short-term rental performance. Situated on a gently sloping 1.43-acre homesite framed by mature hardwoods and bordering a gently flowing creek, the property offers a peaceful mountain setting immersed in the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The main level is centered around an open-concept living area framed by tongue-and-groove cathedral ceilings with exposed rustic timbers, expansive windows overlooking the mountain views, and a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone double-sided gas fireplace. The spacious kitchen features custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, an island sink with bar seating, and seamless flow into the dining and living spaces, all designed to maximize gathering and entertaining. The primary suite is located on the main level along with a powder room for guests providing convenient single-level living. Step outside onto the covered deck to find an outdoor grilling and dining area, stacked stone fireplace, and hot tub, all positioned to take in the rolling long-range mountain views. Upstairs offers an additional full en suite bedroom, guest bedroom, guest bath, and loft area suitable for office space or additional lounge seating. The full walkout lower level expands the home's functionality with a game room, casual den area, bunk room, and full bath, creating multiple gathering spaces that align well with today's mountain lifestyle and rental demand trends. Additional features include an attached ATV/Jeep garage, owner storage closet, utility room, spacious covered lower patio, and a boulder-lined outdoor fire pit area designed for evenings around the fire. The property is being sold fully furnished with thoughtfully curated mountain décor, creating a turnkey ownership opportunity within one of the High Country's most established luxury mountain communities. With its combination of elevation, long-range views, usable acreage, gathering spaces, and established rental history, Hidden Gem at Eagles Nest represents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a fully realized mountain ownership experience within Eagles Nest.
