Location
Located atop of Slickrock Mountain – truly among the highest elevations in North Carolina’s unspoiled Blue Ridge Mountains – Mountain Air puts you in the heart of a vibrant, culturally diverse area.
Mountain Air is just 35 minutes from Asheville, whose unique combination of culture and Southern charm earned it its ranking by Barron’s magazine as one of the “Top 20 Places to Retire in the World.”
Mere minutes away from Mountain Air, Burnsville brims with local culture, Southern hospitality and rich history. Discover the area’s world-renowned arts & crafts at such places as Penland School of Crafts, Toe River Art Councils and Energy Xchange, or spend time coaxing secrets from the forest-hidden waterfalls, winding trails and secret glimmering trout streams.
With elevations reaching 4,919 feet, Mountain Air stands less than 10 miles from Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the eastern United States. Here, you’ll never be closer to the clear, starry skies. The sunrises will never be nearer or brighter. And you’ll never feel more profoundly exhilarated by the vastness and beauty of creation.
