218 Slickrock Road, Burnsville, NC

About the home

Not your typical post-and-beam! This is a mountain estate designed for elevated entertaining at 4,400’ on Slickrock Mountain in Mountain Air Country Club. Crafted by Lindal Cedar Homes, the residence showcases premium engineered post-and-beam construction with rich cedar accents, expansive glass walls, and a design that prioritizes both structural integrity and architectural openness. Every space is oriented toward the sweeping southwest mountain and valley views, creating a constantly changing backdrop for gatherings large and small! The dramatic great room sets the tone with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, stone fireplace, custom built-ins, and seamless flow into the dining area and chef’s kitchen. From here, living spaces extend naturally onto a generous entertaining deck—perfect for sunset dinners, cocktail hours around the fire, and cool Blue Ridge evenings spent outdoors. The primary suite is a private retreat with its own stone fireplace, spacious en-suite bath, and screened-in deck for quiet mornings above the clouds. Guests are comfortably accommodated in well-separated lower-level bedroom suites, each offering privacy and mountain views! Entertainment continues on the lower level with a spiral staircase leading to an equipped media room and rare indoor resistance pool—offering year-round wellness and recreation without leaving home! The thoughtful site design enhances everyday livability, including a new roof, stone-paver driveway and walkway, fenced backyard, and gentle topography. Just minutes from the Clubhouse, Pro Shop, Fitness Center, Spa, and Village Green, the home blends privacy with immediate access to premier amenities. Amenities accessible with club membership; see attachments for more details. Residents of Mountain Air enjoy 24/7 gated security, six miles of hiking trails, seven parks, and private runway—along with quick access to Asheville, approximately 35 minutes away via four-lane roads. Our community is known for its mountaintop golf, panoramic Blue Ridge vistas, and the highest elevation runway east of the Mississippi. This one-of-a-kind home was designed not just for living—but for hosting, gathering, and remembering!
