About the home

Perched above the 11th fairway in the prestigious Mountain Air Country Club, this exceptional estate offers a rare opportunity to experience refined mountain living with breathtaking long-range views, elevated design, and an unmatched lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, the setting makes a lasting impression. Sweeping vistas of the golf course and Blue Ridge Mountains create a sense of privacy and tranquility, while the home itself reflects a seamless blend of timeless craftsmanship and modern sophistication. A comprehensive 2017 renovation thoughtfully reimagined the interior, introducing wide-plank flooring, designer lighting, and a beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen featuring premium BOSCH appliances, perfect for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. Recent updates include a new roof (2020), expansive Trex decking, and a newly paved asphalt driveway (2024), enhancing both function and curb appeal. The home offers four spacious en-suite bedrooms, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests. A dedicated wellness retreat includes a private fitness space, steam shower, and infrared sauna, creating a spa-like experience within your own home. Just beyond, a six-person Hot Springs spa invites you to relax and take in the surrounding mountain views. An impressive executive office suite with custom built-ins and granite countertops provides a refined and inspiring work-from-home environment. Included in the purchase is a $100,000 Full Golf Membership, granting access to the premier amenities of Mountain Air, an exclusive gated mountaintop community known for its private runway, championship golf course, clubhouse dining, fitness center, tennis courts, parks, and scenic walking trails. At elevations of approximately 3,500 to 4,000 feet, residents enjoy cool summer temperatures and stunning year-round scenery. Furnishings are negotiable, offering flexibility for a seamless transition or the opportunity to personalize the home to your own vision. This is more than a home, it is a rare offering of lifestyle, setting, and sophistication in one of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after communities.
