Curved timber beams arc above the great room, a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace anchors it, and a wall of windows hands you Table Rock the moment you walk in. This is a mountain lodge in the truest sense.
Built in 2008 by Gabriel Builders, the home is a Tahoe-inspired Craftsman of stacked stone, cedar, and stained oak. Cathedral ceilings, Craftsman millwork, and a custom staircase with stained-glass cabinetry carry the craftsmanship through every room. A three-floor elevator reaches all levels.
The kitchen runs on a large custom island with granite counters, opening to a breakfast room under a beamed ceiling and a formal dining room beneath coffered ceilings and picture windows. Built for the long Saturday and the holiday crowd alike.
Tucked between Greenville’s cultural pulse and Asheville’s mountain energy, The Cliffs Valley is a world apart — a European-inspired haven where life feels effortlessly elegant yet refreshingly grounded. Mornings begin on misty mountain trails, afternoons unfold on the Ben Wright–designed golf course, and evenings end with wine and laughter on the clubhouse terrace as the Blue Ridge glows gold in the distance.
Here, every day flows with intention — a blend of wellness, connection, and adventure. Residents trade the rush of routine for the rhythm of nature, surrounded by rolling foothills, crystal streams, and the easy camaraderie of a community that knows how to live well. With world-class fitness and wellness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, indoor and outdoor pools, and a vibrant year-round social scene, life at The Cliffs Valley is as rich and rejuvenating as the landscape itself.
: A wraparound deck covers nearly two-thirds of the home and frames the sunset over the ridge every evening. A screened porch with a gas stone fireplace extends the living space nine months of the year. Landscape lighting, irrigation, and a walking loop complete the 2.22 acres.
There is a particular moment, late in the afternoon, when the light comes through the great room windows and catches the curved timber beams overhead. The wood warms, the stone of the fireplace deepens, and the whole room seems to lean toward the mountains. This is the hour the house was designed for.
Set on 2.22 acres above Cliffs Valley, this 2008 Gabriel Builders residence is a Tahoe-inspired Craftsman in the truest sense, a mountain lodge built from stacked stone, cedar, and stained oak, sited to hold Table Rock in its windows and the Blue Ridge beyond. The approach is unhurried. A stone front porch, a paver drive, and a walking loop that circles the property set the tone before you reach the door.
Inside, the architecture does the talking. Cathedral ceilings rise above curved exposed timber, and a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace grounds the great room while a wall of windows opens it to the ridgeline. The craftsmanship is consistent and quiet: Craftsman baseboards, cove molding, and a custom staircase with stained-glass cabinetry that catches the light as you climb. A three-floor elevator moves between levels for the years when stairs become optional rather than required.
The home is built to gather people. The formal dining room sits under a coffered ceiling and picture windows, while the kitchen, with its large custom island, granite counters, and Dacor appliances, runs toward a breakfast room where the morning light arrives first. Step through to the screened porch and a second stone fireplace, this one gas, beneath a hand-worked mantle, and the line between inside and outside softens. The wine cellar, with its custom lattice racking, is ready for the kind of collection that takes decades to build.
Rest is treated with the same care. The primary suite opens to the deck and the view, warmed by a ceramic-tile fireplace, with a dual vanity, a freestanding soaking tub, and a steam shower in the bath. Above, a loft lined with built-in shelves and windows becomes a study or a reading room. Two guest suites offer walk-in baths and closets, and one carries a private balcony that looks down over the great room through a pair of pocket doors. A pair of bonus rooms flex into a gym, an office, mancave or a media room, and an unfinished space stands ready to become a fourth bedroom should the next owner want one.
The outdoor life is the heart of the property. A wraparound deck covers nearly two-thirds of the home, and from it the sun sets over the ridge in long, slow color through every season. The grounds are quietly engineered for ease: a three-car garage with epoxy floors, a walk-in laundry with its own counters, sink, and second refrigerator, landscape lighting, irrigation, a whole-home generator, and a roof replaced in 2018.
What this home offers is the version of mountain living that does not ask its owner to give anything up. Comfort, scale, craftsmanship, and a view that changes by the hour, all behind the gates of Cliffs Valley, with golf, wellness, and trails within reach. Offered through Damian Hall Group, at Blackstream | Christie's International Real Estate. An Affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, and presented to the world as part of the Cliffs Collection, it is a house that rewards staying put and watching the seasons turn over the Blue Ridge.
