Our Community’s History
Mountain Air’s History Has Local Roots
The grand vision of two families with deep roots in the local community – the Banks and the Youngs – is the foundation for the creation of Mountain Air. Beginning in the 1990s, the collective aim was creation of a mountaintop retreat unmatched in its physical beauty and unaffected in its charm.
Relying on their expertise in lumbering and heavy construction, the families took on the daunting challenge of carving Mountain Air from over 1,000 acres of rugged land marked by thick forests and sheer rock outcroppings.
Under the guidance of Randy Banks, the development continued and prospered, with residents and members later taking the reins. Today, the community consists of more than 400 homes and condominiums carefully placed to complement rather than detract from the incredible natural beauty.
