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.
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

4 Old Bridge Circle, Fairview, NC
$989,900 – 4 bedrooms – 3 full baths – 1 half bath – 3,019 sq. ft. – 0.20 acres
Southcliff sits behind a guard gate about fifteen minutes east of downtown Asheville, and 4 Old Bridge Circle is a good example of what the community does well: an Arts and Crafts house on a wooded lot, sized for real life rather than for show. Built in 2014 and updated since, it puts the primary suite, the laundry, and the garage entry all on the main floor, which is the arrangement most buyers at this price point are actually looking for.
The kitchen was redone recently and it shows. Quartz counters, a center island, Bosch stainless appliances including a gas range, and lighting from Arhaus.
It opens to a living room with a gas fireplace set between built-ins, where a wall of windows carries the light through to the eat-in area. A separate dining room and a study round out the main level, so the open plan doesn't come at the cost of having somewhere to close a door.
Upstairs has new hardwood floors and a newly finished bonus room. Out back, the lot is wooded with seasonal views through the trees and a fire pit for the shoulder seasons, when Fairview evenings get worth sitting outside for.
Southcliff itself runs to 400 acres with roughly six miles of private hiking trails, a playground, and covered pavilions for community gatherings.
The home features:
- 0.20 acres
- Built in 2014
- Primary suite, laundry, and garage entry on the main level
- Bosch appliances with gas range
- Attached garage with keypad entry
- Fire pit and wooded backyard
- Gated community with private trail system
