Established in the 1970's, Melrose Mountain was originally promoted as "a land of beautiful Views", and it is most definitely that. Here's some text from that early brochure.
Melrose Mountain Lakes is located in one of the most beautiful sections of the country. It is remote, yet the access is easy. In fact, it is one of the most accessible mountain properties in North Carolina....and ecology oriented. Just off I-26 near Tryon, North Carolina, Melrose Mountain is only minutes from two major airports - Asheville, North Carolina and Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina. You are only a half day's drive to the S.C. beaches and just a day's drive from Florida. The world famous Blue Ridge Parkway is just minutes away with it mile high beauty and dramatic vistas. Convenient to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and lofty Mt. Mitchell State Park. Melrose Mountain Lakes is central to the best in mountain living.
Melrose is a land of beautiful Views.
Rising 1900 feet above the plain below, Melrose affords some of the most spectacular views in the area. You can see for miles in all directions. The higher elevation means cooler days and nights too. The rich, luxuriant forest reaches down to lakes edge and up again into the deep blue skies, creating a fresh, pollution-free world for you to enjoy everyday. It's like a dream come true.
