Private and gated, Balsam Mountain Preserve easily transforms you from a hurried life to a refreshingly gentler pace; yet offers plentiful luxury amenities such as an Arnold Palmer signature golf course, world-class equestrian facilities and 30 miles of scenic trails and streams for hiking and exploration. Ruby Valley Sports Camp, with its fitness center, tennis courts, pool and activity pavilion, provides a special place for families of all ages to come together.
The Boarding House, allowing fractional ownership with full community privileges, offers luxurious accommodations.
