About this home

This 14.97-acre mountainside estate has never been offered for sale. Until now. Even 22 years ago, when The Cliffs at Walnut Cove originally launched, this estate property was not available. But now, time, market demands, and perhaps even a little luck have conspired to present you with a generational opportunity that must be seized upon. Awash with southeastern exposure and beautiful views, the estate climbs from roughly 2400 feet in elevation to 2700+ feet, where it borders Pisgah National Forest. While you will enjoy the privacy of this singularly sizeable parcel, you are mere moments to Walnut Cove's main gate. Of course, prepare to avail yourself of all the luxury recreational pursuits available through membership in The Cliffs clubs. They are as abundant as they are memory-making. Ideally suited for the grandest of estates or a mountainside family compound, this find took decades to reveal itself. Now it is ready for you.
