About this home

Curved timber beams arc overhead the moment you step inside, drawing the eye up through cathedral ceilings to the kind of craftsmanship that announces a true mountain lodge. Built in 2008 by Gabriel Builders, this Tahoe-inspired Craftsman rests on 2.22 acres above Cliffs Valley, where Table Rock fills the windows and the Blue Ridge runs uninterrupted to the horizon. The home wears its materials honestly. Stacked stone, cedar, and stained oak give it weight and warmth, while a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace anchors the great room. A wall of windows pulls the mountains inside and floods the space with afternoon light, and a fireside seating area keeps the scale grounded and inviting. Craftsman baseboards and cove molding carry through every room. A custom staircase with stained-glass cabinetry turns the simple act of moving between floors into a moment, and a three-floor elevator reaches every level, including the lower floor. Twelve-foot ceilings run through most of the main level, with hardwood floors underfoot and automatic shades that follow the sun. The formal dining room sits beneath a coffered ceiling framed by picture windows, set for long dinners that end well after dark. A breakfast room under its own beamed ceiling catches the first light of the day. For the collector, a wine cellar fitted with custom lattice racking waits to be filled. The kitchen was built for the slow Saturday and the holiday crowd in equal measure, with a large custom island, granite counters, and Dacor and Viking appliances. Coffee on the breakfast room table at sunrise, a long dinner under the coffered ceiling after dark, and the room carries both ends of the day without strain. From here the home opens to a screened porch, where a gas stone fireplace and a hand-worked wood mantle make outdoor living a nine-month proposition rather than a summer one. The primary suite is where the house exhales. Doors open to the deck and the mountain view, a ceramic-tile fireplace warms the room, and the bath gathers a dual vanity, a freestanding soaking tub, a steam shower, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, a loft with built-in shelves and generous windows reads as library, study, or quiet perch above the action. Two guest suites each carry walk-in baths and closets; one adds a private balcony over the great room behind a pair of pocket doors. Flexible bonus rooms become gym, office, man cave and/or media space, and an unfinished storage room could convert to a fourth bedroom. Outside, a wraparound deck covers roughly two-thirds of the house and frames sunsets over the ridgeline. A stone front porch, a paver and concrete driveway, landscape lighting, irrigation, and a walking loop around the property complete the grounds. The practical luxuries run deep: a three-car garage with epoxy floors and built-in storage, a walk-in laundry with cabinetry, counters, sink, and a second refrigerator, a whole-home generator, and a roof replaced in 2018. This is mountain living without compromise, inside the gates of Cliffs Valley, with golf, wellness, and an active social life close at hand. A Cliffs Membership is available provides access to 7 world class clubs from Lake Keowee to nearby Mountain Park. About thirty five minutes from Greenville, the location is close enough for the airport and the restaurants and far enough that the ridgeline is the only thing in view. 20 mins to Hendersonville/Flat Rock and 20 minutes to Traveler's Rest. Easy access in and out from Hwy 25 via the North Gate. Some homes are built to impress. This one was built to be lived in, season after season, with the mountains always providing the art.
