Come and see this serene mountain retreat, nestled in the gated Sanctuary subdivision on the very edge of the Mount Mitchell communities, situated directly across from the beauty and abundant wildlife of Pisgah National Forest. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate being just moments away from the crystal-clear waters of the South Toe River, known for its exceptional fishing and pristine mountain streams. Offered with tasteful, high quality furniture and floor rugs, this architect-designed custom one-and-a-half-story home features warm wood floors, anchored by an expansive, well-appointed great room that seamlessly connects to a nicely equipped kitchen. Generous windows flood the interior with natural sunlight while framing peaceful natural surroundings. Upstairs, the loft sitting area offers a cozy sanctuary for reading or relaxing, complementing two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office or extra guest space. Downstairs, a large partially finished basement provides abundant potential for additional storage or workshop space. Outside, outdoor living shines with a spacious upper deck perfect for entertaining against a dramatic, tree-shaded view of the mountain peaks, accompanied by a private lower-level deck for additional room to expand. While offering complete mountain tranquility, the home is ideally situated for easy access to regional hubs and outdoor adventure. Everyday amenities, charming local dining, and shopping in Burnsville and Spruce Pine are just a short 25-minute drive away. For world-class dining, cultural attractions, craft breweries, and high-country charm, Asheville, Boone, and Blowing Rock are all little more than a one-hour drive, putting the best of Western North Carolina right at your doorstep. This property is located in one of the Mount Mitchell golf course neighborhoods, and offers a front-row seat to a major upcoming community revitalization. Following hurricane-related impacts, the course has been acquired by new ownership with announced plans to rebuild, modernize, and elevate both the course and clubhouse back to their former standards (and potentially beyond). While currently non-operational and undergoing long-term redevelopment, this project presents an opportunity to move early into a neighborhood with potential for rebirth.

Set on a uniquely positioned homesite with breathtaking long-range mountain views, this beautifully updated and expanded 4-bedroom, 4-bath home in Mountain Air offers a rare combination of privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape. With no homes directly above, below, or on one side, the property enjoys a level of seclusion generally reserved for the mountain’s custom home neighborhoods. The home’s square footage exceeds most other Neighborhood Homes, creating generous living space rarely found in this setting. It has been thoughtfully enhanced with the addition of a welcoming covered front porch, a dining room, and a pool room/library, along with a side deck perfectly positioned to capture the cool mountain breezes of summer. The fully remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring custom alder cabinetry, remarkable marble countertops whose flowing greens and warm browns echo the branches and forest beyond, and GE Profile appliances approximately 1.5 years old. A water feature crafted from the same marble as the countertops enhances the natural flow of the space, cultivating a tranquil and welcoming atmosphere. Heritage maple engineered hardwood flooring runs throughout the main living areas, complemented by custom blinds and nature-inspired Tiffany lighting. Distinctive artisan details include a custom mountain laurel stair railing, a handcrafted maple mantelpiece selected specifically for the space and carefully cured and crafted over the course of a year, new alder interior and exterior doors, and custom built-ins in both the bedroom and den. Upstairs, recent updates include new carpet, a new mini-split system, and a completely remodeled bathroom. The property has also benefited from recent tree trimming to further open and highlight the expansive long-range views, enhancing both the setting and natural light. Additional practical features include under-house golf cart storage, a fenced dog-potty yard, and built-in overhead exterior storage that blends seamlessly with the home’s structure, adding convenience to everyday mountain living. With its coveted top-of-the-mountain location, thoughtful renovations, generous living space, and unforgettable mountain views, this home offers a truly inviting mountain lifestyle in one of the community’s most desirable settings. MOUNTAIN AIR property owners enjoy all paved access, 24/7 manned guard-gate, multiple parks, hiking trails, and a private runway! Optional club memberships available.
