There’s Something About The Mountains
For as far back as you can remember, going to the mountains held a special attraction. The winding roads, the abundance of nature, the cool, clean air – they all acted as signposts to a destination you both saw with your eyes and felt in your heart. The mountains were, are, and forever will be… magical.
The Mountains Come First.
Mountain Air has a history of honoring the land on which it sits.
From the very beginning, its vision has been to incorporate the mountains into everyexperience. The incredible views, the old growth trees, the natural slopes, and the ever-present forest mystique. A vision that began with the Banks and Young families–whoseroots in Yancey County run several generations deep–and continues today withMountain Air’s extended family of Owners and Members. And while the setting isunarguably beautiful, we believe the mountains offer more than natural splendor andhigher elevations, they offer a unique way of life. An authenticity and camaraderiethatyou can’t find anywhere else. It’s not easy to explain, but it is immediately understoodupon your first and every visit to Mountain Air.
If you want to be up high but still close to everything, then Mountain Air is the ideal place for you.
Mountain Air is a unique community that offers peace and quiet, but it’s also a great starting point for all kinds of activities, art and culture, music and special events. From quaint mountain towns to the eclectic vibe of ever-popular Asheville, there’s plenty todo, but you’re never far from home.
