Sunalei Forest Estate #6 presents 10.48 high-elevation acres within one of the High Country’s most intentionally preserved and low-density mountain communities. Rising to approximately 4,000 feet in elevation, this homesite features a gentle, highly usable topography ideally suited for a primary residence with walk-out potential and expansive outdoor living spaces. The property offers ridgeline and nature-oriented views, complemented by mature forest canopy and a peaceful mountain setting. A stream flows through the property, adding natural character, movement, and ecological richness to the landscape. Estate #6 offers exceptional equestrian estate potential or the opportunity to create a secluded mountain retreat across fully usable acreage with tremendous privacy. Each Sunalei Forest homesite permits a primary residence of at least 3,000 heated square feet along with a secondary guest home, allowing for estate-style living or multigenerational flexibility. Horses are permitted, reinforcing the large-tract character and lifestyle flexibility that define this release. Sunalei is thoughtfully designed to harmonize with the natural contours of the Blue Ridge Mountains, drawing inspiration from the classic Great Camps while preserving the landscape’s untamed beauty. When complete, the community will consist of fewer than 100 homesites across its expansive mountain setting, a density profile that would be extremely difficult to recreate in today’s regulatory environment. Approximately 60 acres at the summit are owned by the Sunalei Property Owners Association, and the community is surrounded by permanently protected lands including extensive conservation acreage and Elk Knob State Park, creating a rare sanctuary of preserved views, privacy, and natural integrity. Sunalei Forest represents the final high-elevation release within the community — a curated collection of estate-sized homesites, most exceeding 10 acres, selected for privacy, view corridors, and long-term preservation. Estate #6 offers the rare combination of gentle topography, usable acreage, water feature, and elevation within a permanently protected mountain environment where space, quiet, and authenticity define ownership.

Topping out at approximately 3,900 feet in elevation, this property offers highly usable, gently sloping terrain for a custom mountain estate with a walk-out lower level. The land configuration and topography make this homesite especially well-suited for an equestrian retreat, with ample room for barns, fenced pasture, and additional outbuildings while maintaining privacy and long-term view protection. Estate #5 features ridgeline and nature views framed by mature hardwoods and native mountain vegetation. Streams flowing through this property and off Snake Mountain serve as important headwaters feeding the North Fork of the New River, widely regarded as the second-oldest river in the world, adding both ecological significance and natural beauty to the homesite. In addition, this estate borders approximately 38 acres of Sunalei conservation land, significantly enhancing the sense of seclusion and ensuring protected surroundings beyond your property lines. Owners within Sunalei Forest may build a primary residence of at least 3,000 heated square feet along with a secondary guest home, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or legacy estate planning. Equestrian use is permitted within Sunalei Forest, further expanding the possibilities for those seeking space, privacy, and authentic mountain living.

With fewer than 100 total homesites planned for the entire community, Sunalei represents a rare opportunity to own large, protected acreage in a high-elevation Blue Ridge setting that could not be replicated today.
