About this home
Located within the gates of Mountain Air, one of the Southeast’s most distinctive mountaintop communities, this Timberwright Heritage log home offers a rare blend of craftsmanship, privacy, and resort-style living. Mountain Air is known for its private runway, championship golf course, and luxury club amenities, creating a lifestyle unlike anywhere else in Western North Carolina. Inspired by the design philosophy of renowned North Carolina artist Bob Timberlake, the home showcases hand-hewn logs with traditional dovetail joinery, soaring timber ceilings, and elegant natural finishes that capture the spirit of classic Appalachian architecture. The main living area features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, warm wood interiors, and an open layout ideal for gathering with family and guests. Designed for both comfort and entertaining, the home offers four bedrooms each with its own full bath, providing privacy for owners and visitors alike. The spacious lower-level great room features a second stone fireplace and large entertainment area, creating the perfect retreat after a day enjoying the mountains. Outdoor living is equally inviting with multiple decks surrounded by lush forest, a relaxing oversized hot tub, and peaceful spaces for dining or unwinding beneath the Blue Ridge canopy. Ownership within Mountain Air provides access to a private club lifestyle including golf, dining, fitness center, luxury spa, sports courts, parks, and scenic walking trails. The community’s unique private runway allows residents and guests to fly directly to the mountain. Currently operating part time as a short-term rental, the property offers flexibility to generate income while serving as a personal mountain retreat. This home delivers authentic craftsmanship, resort amenities, and an exceptional mountaintop lifestyle.
