Settlers Edge is nestled along the edge of Mountain Air’s Slickrock Mountain, where the Black Mountain range and the Pensacola Valley offer incredulous views. Each impressive Mountain Air home affords inspiring views of these mountainsides, with many overlooking spectacular golf courses and sunrises over Mount Mitchell, the highest point in the eastern US. Since the opening of Mountain Air, the National Association of Home Builders’ Best Community in America, the community has heard numerous requests from owners to purchase from the Settlers Edge vicinity. Living at Settlers Edge presents you with the gifts of the land- the landscaping, the amenities, the programs- integrated into the lifestyle at an elite level of service.

The Settlers Edge Vision ensures that homes will be as equally stunning as the views, with an elite team of highly distinguished and most reputable land planners, architects, builders and designers. A limited selection of estate homes has been designed exclusively for Settlers Edge by renowned architect Al Platt. Cottle Carr Yaw, the Aspen firm that developed the award-winning Falling Leaf Members’ Lodge and Slickrock Village Green, has created an enclave of mountain lodges with 38 condominium homes at Settlers Edge.

To maximize your mountain living experience, Settlers Edge offers a vast selection of outdoor space and amenities. Explore beneath the towering hemlocks in the 80-acre nature preserve, by the water overlook, or at the trout pond. Take in the spectacular sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains from the signature eighth hole fairway of the Slickrock Nine’s. Spend time in the Woodworking Shop or the Organic Gardens, in one of the Settler’s enriching programs. Lounge by the fireside, the widescreen televisions, the coffee & espresso bar, the game tables at Mitchell Hall. Take an awe-inspiring glass elevator ride from the main floor of Mitchell Hall to the mountain’s-edge amenities twenty-five feet below, including Vintages & Vantages, the private cellar and wine-tasting room. Really take in the view in the infinity-edge hot pool and open-air treatment rooms at Inspiration, the signature spa and fitness facility at Settlers Edge. All of this, while the Concierge Service stocks your gourmet kitchen with whatever you desire (including fresh produce from the Organic Gardens.)

Located atop one of the highest elevations in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Settlers Edge at Mountain Air centers you for a view of Bald Mountain, Roan Mountain, Flattop Mountain and the venerable Grandfather Mountain. Just below, the terrain slopes into the Pensacola Valley, where excursions await. Only minutes away lies Burnsville, a lively, historic town with plenty of culture and more of nature to discover. A 35 minute drive away is Asheville, whose unique blend of culture and Southern hospitality earned it its place on Barron’s magazine list of the “Top 20 Places to Retire in the World.”
