About this property

Elk Island at River Run- Luxury Banner Elk Home with VIEWS!

Escape to a peaceful retreat at Elk Island at River Run, a stunning 5-bedroom home nestled on 3+ acres within the private River Run gated community. This beautifully appointed home provides convenient access to the Elk River.

Prime Location & Outdoor Adventures:
Elk Island offers an ideal location, less than 10 minutes from downtown Banner Elk, 15 minutes from Wilderness Run Alpine Adventure Park, and 20 minutes from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort. Within the community, you can enjoy catch-and-release fishing or a peaceful picnic by the Elk River. Please note that fishing permits are required, and you'll need to bring your own equipment.

Exceptional Amenities:
Guests will appreciate the convenience of a 3-car garage and ample driveway parking.

Inside, the spacious and well-equipped kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a double island, a pot filler over the 6-burner gas range, a large copper sink, and a beverage cooler. The adjacent dining room comfortably seats eight, with four additional seats available at the kitchen bars.
The main level living area provides a cozy ambiance with a remote-controlled stone gas log fireplace and serene mountain views.

Comfortable Accommodations:
The main-level primary bedroom offers a private deck entrance, a ceiling fan, and a TV. It includes a large walk-in closet and a luxurious master bathroom with two custom copper sinks, an oversized walk-in shower, and a jetted tub. For your convenience, blow-dryers are provided in each bathroom.

The upstairs loft is perfect for board games or puzzles and includes two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The second bedroom has two twin beds, and the third has a queen-sized bed. Each bedroom, along with the loft and lower level living area, is equipped with Roku TVs for streaming your favorite shows.

The lower level is where the fun begins, featuring a 75” flatscreen TV with Bose speakers, a Prince competition-size Ping Pong table, two retro arcade games (a two-person Pac-Man glass-top game and a single-player stand-up multi-game console with dozens of game options), Cornhole, and oversized Jenga. On this level, the fourth bedroom has two twin beds, and the fifth has a queen bed with deck access. A shared full-size bathroom with a tub/shower combo is also available.

Outdoor Enjoyment:
Evenings can be spent relaxing around the stone firepit in Adirondack chairs, perfect for roasting marshmallows. Or enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck while taking in the cool mountain air.

Rosemary O.

some small details, but it is very important.

I had problems entering the condominium, the entrance number doesn't match. Can anyone give me the correct number? A resident gave me the gate code. The street to go up is in very bad shape. It was in terrible condition. There was even a Luiz cable on the street. When I got to the house, I couldn't open the door for 30 minutes. My children died of cold. After I managed to get into the house, the house wasn't cleaned. We had to clean it. The towels and bed linens were dirty. But that's okay, everything was fine. The house is perfect. Everything is very beautiful. Congratulations to the owners. But they just need to improve the maintenance of the street and the cleaning. Everyone will be fine. Thank you.
