History
Mountain Air reflects the sensitive development acumen of the Banks and Young families, longtime Burnsville residents who own the Mountain Air property plus 2,000 acres in its surrounds. Since the community’s inception in the early 1990's, their collective aim has been the creation of a mountaintop retreat unmatched in its physical beauty and unaffected in its charm.
Undertaking one of the country’s most challenging residential development projects, the Banks and Young families brought to bear their expertise in lumbering and heavy construction in conquering Slickrock Mountain’s 4,919 feet of elevation and sheer outcroppings of granite. The end result is as much a testament to the families’ perseverance and vision as to the ingenuity of modern engineering.
