About this home

This exceptional building lot offers a rare opportunity to create a custom retreat within the prestigious gates of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. This wooded parcel provides an immediate sense of seclusion and natural beauty, featuring mature hardwood trees and a coveted southern exposure for abundant natural light. A gentle build site simplifies the construction process, with driveway access at the top of the property allowing for a short and shallow sloped driveway. The lot is positioned to capture the region's coveted mountain views with strategic tree clearing, allowing for a home that seamlessly integrates with its dramatic Blue Ridge surroundings. Living in this exclusive gated community provides access to a lifestyle centered on world-class wellness and recreation. Ideally situated close to the main gate and just a short distance to the clubhouse, this property offers unparalleled convenience. Property owners have the opportunity to join The Cliffs, which features a nationally acclaimed Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course—the only championship course in the area to debut with a PGA Tour event. The home site itself boasts serene views of the pond on the golf course, while the community is anchored by a vibrant Club Village, home to an award-winning Tudor-style clubhouse, fine dining at The Tavern, and an 18,000-square-foot wellness center complete with indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, and a full-service spa. Beyond the luxurious private amenities, the location balances mountain tranquility with urban convenience. Bordered by the Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway, the property is just 10 minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport and approximately 20 minutes from the cultural heart of downtown Asheville. Residents also enjoy proximity to the "agrihood" at Creekside Farm, a 60-acre working farm within the community, and miles of private hiking and biking trails, making this lot the ideal foundation for a sophisticated mountain lifestyle.
