Perched along the Blue Ridge escarpment just minutes from downtown Asheville, Southcliff remains one of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after luxury enclaves.
Every home here is surrounded by protected green space, miles of private hiking trails, and long-range views—yet you’re still only 10 minutes from Asheville’s acclaimed dining, arts, and culture.
“Southcliff is one of those rare communities in Asheville that feels both elevated and completely grounded in nature. You’re ten minutes from downtown, but the moment you pass through the gate, the world gets quieter.
The homes are beautifully crafted, the views are long-range, and the hiking trails weave right through the community. It’s mountain living without giving up convenience or sophistication — a balance that’s hard to find anywhere else in Western North Carolina.”
— Josh Smith, President of Walnut Cove Realty
