There’s something about High Country living, Banner Elk style that captures the heart and calms the mind. Situated at an elevation of 5,000 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we invite you to soak in the North Carolina sun as you enjoy Banner Elk Club. Encompassing more than 1,200 acres, we believe this place is exceptional, and not just because of its thoughtful design and ample amenities—our residents are some of the friendliest around.

One of North Carolina’s Finest Stables
Our newly updated Equestrian Center is situated on nearly 40 acres of fenced pasture and paddock. Even more than the picturesque setting, horse enthusiasts will appreciate the care horses receive thanks to our highly qualified and attentive staff. Alongside the Center is 140 acres of riding preserve and a host of nature trails ready to be enjoyed. Our covered arena serves as home base for training and riding all year-long, creating a safe and consistent environment for the horses. Rings are available for those working on their riding and jumping. You’ll find 30 stalls in the Center, and the stables feature two tack rooms and inside and outside wash racks. After a busy day of riding, treat yourself to a cozy seat in our member’s lounge.

Entrusting the care of your horse to our team is a responsibility we take to heart. We love and respect our members’ horses and are proud to have some of the state’s best riding professionals on our team.
