Live The Ridge

Experience a majestic lifestyle in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Discover the pinnacle of luxury living at Linville Ridge Golf and Country Club, a private residential community of 1,800 acres near Blowing Rock. Set amidst the most amazing scenery in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Linville Ridge boasts the highest elevation course east of the Mississippi River, world-class amenities and inspiring homes.

Linville Ridge was established in 1978 when The Lutgert Companies, renowned Florida developers, purchased Flattop Mountain to build a mountaintop golf course community. Augusta National Golf Club’s Par-3 designer, George Cobb, designed the course to follow the natural contours of the mountain to reveal a breathtaking expanse of tiers and peaks echoing into the distance. The result literally took the game of golf to new heights — an elevation of 4,949 feet above sea level, to be exact. Decades later, Bobby Weed, lifelong apprentice to Pete Dye, added his special touches to the look and playability. Today, golfers of all skill levels enjoy the scenic ruggedness and panoramic views that truly enhance the enjoyment of each and every round.

While golfers are drawn to Linville Ridge’s captivating course, there is an equally active lifestyle off the green. Scenic hiking trails abound, with yoga classes and a fitness facility offering an array of health and wellness options. Members can enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool as well as a challenging game of tennis, pickleball, croquet or bocce. For those looking for camaraderie off the court, The Ridge hosts regular gatherings for bridge, poker, mahjong, book club and more. A full-service salon and day spa offer a quiet retreat while the kids can enjoy an adventure all their own at the playground or Camp Linville, with its variety of daily activities and field trips.

The culinary staff of Linville Ridge proudly presents creative, sophisticated cuisine in an array of dining venues. From View 180’s elegant dining room and the indoor-outdoor Belvedere pavilion to the casual fare of The Turn, the Sandwedge and the Elevation Pub, there are selections to suit every taste. The attentive staff also hosts myriad themed dinners and social events throughout the season.

For more than four decades, families have been enjoying prestigious country club living at Linville Ridge. In addition to resale homes, new construction opportunities are available in The Ridge’s distinctive neighborhoods, including The Vistas, The Cottages at Cranberry Cove and The Oaks. The Split Rock Estates enclave offers homesites set on a minimum of six acres, where owners can choose their own architect and builder to design and craft an exceptional custom retreat.

From quaint cottages and luxury residences to custom estates, there is an opportunity to find your perfect place on a diverse mountain landscape. New homes are marketed exclusively by Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. For more information, call 828.742.4130 or visit LinvilleRidge.com.
