Balsam Mountain Preserve

Private Mountain Community in North Carolina

A Higher Standard of Everything

AN ELEVATED STATE ... OF MIND.
A scenic 40-minute drive from Asheville in the glorious mountains of North Carolina, Balsam Mountain Preserve is 4,400 acres virtually untouched by man. The name Preserve speaks volumes. Balsam is the region’s lowest density private community, a place where owners enjoy a collection of amenities as inspiring as they are diverse — from championship golf and equestrian facilities to fitness, wellness, and fine dining. With elevations rising to 5,400 feet, you’ll enjoy cooler summer temperatures and breathtaking views. We invite you to discover the wonder of Balsam Mountain.
