The Cliffs - A Fun and Smart Move to the Carolinas

For years, we’ve been an advocate of buying a home and becoming a member of The Cliffs. Where else does one membership give you access to seven luxury communities nearby? This access is not just being an in-and-out, one time visitor with club exchange privileges. Being a member of The Cliffs means being immersed in a friendly community where your circle of friends can be a hundred or a few. Simply attend a Friday night mountaintop mixer, join a bourbon tasting around the fire pit, or participate in one of their weekly golf events, and you’ll find yourself with a dozen new friends by the end of the evening. With more than 300 social clubs, The Cliffs fun-filled calendar includes more than 2,000 events a year. Perhaps take a Mediterranean cruise with the travel club or learn the art wine making from the community’s Sommelier.

The Cliffs is a collection of seven luxury communities set in the western Carolinas. Perhaps the most coveted land to be found, three of the communities hug the shoreline of 18,500 acre Lake Keowee. Or live at The Cliffs at Glassy, South Carolina’s only mountaintop golf course that has one of the most photographed golf holes. A golf course built wear the eagles soar, where the long range views from 3,000 feet in elevation are unforgettable, views members enjoy every day.

The Cliffs at Walnut Cove is the only luxury gated golf community set in the heart of Asheville. Within 10 minutes, members can be in the middle of the city reveling in an art, foodie and beer scene. And when it comes to music, no where does it better than Asheville. For example, the Orange Peel is an old brick warehouse painted orange in the heart of downtown showcasing every type of music imaginable 7 days a week. This is just one of many hip music venues in Asheville.

The Cliffs at Mountain Park has its own rustic vibe. A luxury gated golf community with a new twist on moonshine history. The clubhouse is remarkable coming large timbers and copper embellishments. The Barn at Mountain Park adjacent to the clubhouse is the community’s rustic elegant barn where the community hosts social club events under sparkling festoon lighting.
