A Brand-New Tom Eggers Home at The Lodges at Eagles Nest
Front-side lots at Eagles Nest are a particular kind of lucky. You get those long, layered ridge views without the white-knuckle drive home after dinner — and this brand-new Tom Eggers build sits right in that sweet spot, just minutes from the front gate. If you’ve spent any time in our community, you know Tom’s name carries weight around here. His homes have a reputation for getting the details right, and this one is no exception.
Let me walk you through what makes it special.

Sunset Views That Earn Their Reputation
Every listing in the High Country promises “mountain views,” but there’s a real difference between a view and the view. This home has the second kind. The long-range, layered sunsets out the back stretch ridge after ridge into the distance, and the floor plan is designed to make the most of them.
Two expansive porches — one for your morning coffee, one for your evening glass of wine, or vice versa, we won’t judge — give you front-row seats to the kind of light show our corner of the Blue Ridge is famous for.
A Layout That Actually Makes Sense
So many mountain homes get the floor plan almost right and then fumble the basics. This one doesn’t. The primary suite sits on the main floor, which sounds like a small thing until you’ve hauled luggage up a flight of stairs after a long drive from Charlotte. Upstairs you’ll find three more generously sized bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath — so nobody’s negotiating shower schedules.
Downstairs is where the home really flexes. There’s a versatile den that’s practically begging to become a bunk room (instant kid magnet, future grandkid magnet), plus a second large family room with plenty of space for a pool table, theater setup, or whatever your idea of a mountain-house hangout looks like.
Throughout, charming barn wood accents thread through the design, giving the home that warm, grounded feel that pairs so nicely with the modern finishes. Mountain-modern done right — rustic where it should be, polished where it counts.
Brand New, With Room to Make It Yours
Because this home is brand new, it still carries a full one-year builder’s warranty from the Certificate of Occupancy. That gives you something rare in this market: time. Time to settle in, take your time furnishing, see how the light moves through the rooms across the seasons, and decide what little touches will make it feel like yours. It’s a finished home, but it’s still a canvas.
The Eagles Nest Lifestyle, Right at Your Doorstep
Living on the front side puts you minutes from the highly sought-after Great Camp area, which is where a lot of the community’s best amenities have landed lately. The brand-new Epic Chophouse has quickly become one of the more talked-about dining spots in our part of the High Country — and yes, it lives up to the chatter.
Down the path, you’ll find the 18-hole putt-putt course (more competitive than you’d expect once the cousins show up), and the outdoor amphitheater hosts live music most weekends from May through October. Summer evenings up there, with the air cooling off and the sun dipping behind the ridges, are about as good as it gets.
For the outdoor folks — and most of us up here qualify — there’s a serious network of hiking, biking, and ATV trails close by. Add in tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts when you want to stay social, a scenic disc golf course tucked into the woods, and some genuinely good fishing if that’s your speed.
A Few of Eagles Nest’s Quieter Pleasures
The onsite Dollar General is one of those amenities you don’t appreciate until the moment you realize you’re out of paper towels and don’t feel like driving into Banner Elk. (Trust me, you’ll appreciate it.) The Eagles Nest Winery gives you a proper local-flavor stop without leaving the gate, and the community bistro — open for lunch — has become a favorite quick-meet spot for neighbors swapping trail reports after a morning out.
Worth Coming to See
Brand-new construction in a coveted spot at Eagles Nest doesn’t sit long, and a Tom Eggers home with these views even less so. Whether you’re looking for a full-time mountain home, a second-home escape from the Charlotte heat, or a place your family can gather for years to come, this one checks the boxes most buyers around here are still chasing.
Come walk the porches. Watch the sunset from the great room. Picture your people here. The mountains do the rest.
