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.

HOME TO THE CURIOUS
By day, adventure is around every rocky ledge and in every valley. At night, a riot of stars light the dark sky. Balsam owners live vibrantly, explore endlessly, and every so often, even work from home.
Enjoy a Collection of Unique Amenities
Equestrian
The Equestrian Center features club horses perfectly suited for private lessons and trail riding. Guided rides are available on the Preserve’s groomed trail system. With sprawling views and natural mountain beauty, the riding experience at Balsam is unmatched.
It all begins with Trust
We seek to protect and preserve this rugged and beautiful place – a commitment to the land and local culture is our reason for being. The Balsam Mountain Trust is not separate from our Balsam community members — it is the embodiment of who we are.
42+ Miles of Trails
The Preserve’s impressive trail system is a favorite amenity for residents, enhanced by waterfalls, hidden bridges, historic mine sites and staff naturalists who guide us on discovery hikes year-round.
Palmer Golf
At elevations reaching 3700’, the 18-hole championship course may well be the most scenic in America. Our innovative Palmer Practice Park complements an experience second to none.
HUNGRY FOR MORE?
Because we all love to eat and drink… a culinary program as inspiring as its setting.
The Mountains are Calling
It’s easy to understand the allure of the Carolina mountains – especially today, as we seek distance and privacy from the encroaching modern world, yet close to conveniences, city life and airports.
