About Banner Elk
Welcome > Local Info > Banner Elk Information ...



BANNER ELK 

Banner Elk, NC lies at the base of Grandfather Mountain, Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain. This is a one intersection - a one stoplight “village” that is home to Lees McRae College, a 4-year private college and dominate landmark in the village - a picturesque center with many local inns, shops, art galleries and restaurants. Celebrate the four seasons in Banner Elk!
 


Winter brings skiers and snowboarders from November through March to enjoy two of the largest ski areas in the south. 
 Should you not happen to be a skier you may enjoy sledding or snow tubing or alternately just relax by a fire and enjoy the blue Mountain ambience.
 
Spring is a delight! Take a wildflower hike and enjoy their abundant and colorful beauty! Climb Grandfather Mountain’s Profile Trail, walk on Grandfather’s Mile-High Swinging Bridge, or visit the bear habitat to see and feed the new born cubs!
 

Summer is terrific with so much to do! Golfers, tennis aficionados, hikers and bikers, craft festivals, shoppers – it is all here!
 
If you like to eat – there is a wide variety of restaurants to make sampling the cuisines a favorite pastime.
Lees McRae College offers popular summer theater.
Blueberries, blackberries and raspberries can be found along the roadsides and trails – fun to pick a few or take a bundle. Fly fish in one of the many streams. Canoe or kayak a river! Raft the whitewater! Picnic along the Blue Ridge Parkway or on top of Sugar or Beech Mountain. Attend the festive Scottish Games and gathering of the Clans which occurs on Grandfather Mountain the 2nd weekend of July! You will hear the music of bagpipes as they practice for competitions while you drive through the hillsides.
 

Fall – the favorite time to be in the mountains! The beauty of the changing leaves brings LOTS of weekenders. Football games, fall festivals, craft festivals, apple festivals, hiking and photographing the foliage - all are fun! Banner Elk’s Woolly Worm Festival, attracting close to 20,000 people, is held the 3rd weekend in October along with the Valle Crucis Country Fair. Both feature food and crafts for people of all ages! 

Visit Banner Elk and you may come back and stay a life time!

Real Estate Tips
Buying Land and New Construction >The Zoning Variance

When you are selecting land on which to build your new home, be certain to investigate the zoning for that particular area. You might fall in love with rural acreage that just happens to be zoned for agricultural or recreational purposes. Since zoning uses are not interchangeable, you would need to apply for a variance in order to build a single-family residential dwelling on the land. This can be a challenging process!

Getting approval to have the zoning changed on property requires that you first give public notice, and then request approval for a variance from the government agencies that supervise enforcement of the zoning plan. You might encounter resistance from neighbors or various local interest groups who oppose the zoning changes that would allow you to build your dream home. Your local planning department can tell you how a particular property is zoned and explain what you need to do to get a variance. Your real estate agent may be able to refer you to a local land use attorney who can guide you through the process.
