Climate

The pleasant climate of this region of the NC Blue Ridge Mountains, located at about 1,147 feet in elevation, is what makes the High Country and Leatherwood Mountains such a great place to live, work and play! Where else can you experience the four distinct seasons and all of the scenic beauty they create? When you own your very own NC mountain home you’ll be able to enjoy each season in the mountains and all of the fun outdoor activities that come with living in an outdoor paradise.

In the warmer months, residents and those lucky enough to have NC mountain vacation homes in Leatherwood flock to the region to enjoy the milder temperatures and delightful sunny weather. In the springtime you can also enjoy all the beautiful blooms and gorgeous landscapes created by the wild mountain flowers. During this time of year everyone enjoys horseback riding, fishing, hiking and swimming in nearby W. Kerr Scott Lake.

In the fall the High Country is bursting with vibrant colors as the leaves are changing and blanketing the High Country’s mountain sides. The crisp, cool mountain air provides the perfect climate for an afternoon hike, and the nighttime temperatures begin to dip making this season the time for that one last camping trip in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

For those who enjoy snow and fun winter activities like sledding, skiing and ice skating, Leatherwood Mountains’ location in the Blue Ridge Mountains receives just the right amount of snowfall with plenty of it to make the area a white wonderland, but not too much to make travel impossible.
