The thing about Mountain Air is that it lets you see things in a way that you never saw before. Whether it’s looking down on the clouds, or a view that’s miles wide, or providing the clarity to look inside yourself, it’s always a moving experience. Such is the case in the Blue Ridge Mountains that cover Western North Carolina.
In addition the scenic tapestry of natural wonder, the Blue Ridge Mountains offer a lifetime of outdoor adventures! The countless rivers and streams offer world-class whitewater for paddlers, as well as tranquil trout streams for both fly and conventional fishing. There are also thousands of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, many of which are suitable for equestrian use.
Perched high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains, a short drive to Asheville yet in its own little corner, is the charming town of Burnsville, NC. Both proud of its history and excited about its future. A small town with big adventures and wide open spaces, is also home to Mt. Mitchell – the highest peak east of the Mississippi. Burnsville and Yancey County offer endless outdoor experiences and iconic American charm. Stroll down Main Street, visit local artists, and savor its emerging culinary and brewery scene.
Just moments from the Main Street lies the private destination mountain community of Mountain Air. An inviting, year-round (average summer temperatures are in the low 70s!) lifestyle designed for today’s families. A lifestyle that is both new and familiar. A destination to share with those closest to you. The ideal escape from the stresses of today. Soothing and adventurous. Communal. Inspiring. Effortless.
Mountain Air offers its Members and guests a true mountain golf course experience, trails, parks and a whole host of amenities that take advantage of its elevated location. Without a doubt, however, the most distinguishing feature of Mountain Air is its 2,875-foot mountaintop runway. At 4,400 feet, it’s the highest-elevation runway east of the Mississippi. Members and guests can fly in just after breakfast for a morning round of golf, grab some lunch with friends, then fly-out for adventures unknown.
Located just steps from the runway, Slickrock Village Green serves as the centerpiece of the Club, offering a host of dining options and amenities for every Member of the family along with the finest views in the community. Members and guests meet here, gather here, dine here, and laugh here.
At Slickrock Village Green, you can spend the afternoon outside the Mountain Market & Deli, a one-of-kind grocery/deli that offers all the necessities and a welcoming atmosphere or dine at Orville and Wilbur’s, a casual open-air restaurant with long range mountain views and tasty house made entrees. The Clubhouse offers multiple dining experience with equally impressive view. Take a stroll over to the Nature Center to learn about the flora and fauna that share this mountain home. And a visit to the Chautauqua Family Center, an inviting destination that offers a movie theater, teen room, and children’s activity center, is always a delight. Exercise in our new 4,500 square foot Wellness Center that features the latest in fitness equipment and a calendar of classes.
The Hospitality Program is as hospitable as their owners and staff. Stay at Falling Leaf Lodge in Slick Rock Village or one of a variety of exceptional short-term rental properties allowing you to experience firsthand what makes Mountain Air so special.
