About the home
This luxury townhome is perfectly positioned within The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, Asheville’s premier private gated community nestled in a lush valley bordering the Pisgah National Forest. This exceptional townhouse offers a sophisticated lifestyle defined by both serene mountain beauty and vibrant social connection, with immediate access to the community’s world-class amenities. At the heart of the neighborhood lies the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, a par-71 masterpiece that winds through rolling meadows and mountain streams. Residents enjoy a short stroll to the Club Village, which serves as the social hub of the community, featuring a grand English-style tavern for farm-to-table dining and an open-air beer garden often filled with the sounds of live music. The lifestyle at Walnut Cove extends far beyond the fairways to a comprehensive 18,000-square-foot Wellness Center. This facility offers a complete suite of health and fitness amenities, including a 25-yard saline indoor lap pool, a sun-drenched outdoor pool with a hot tub spa, and professional-grade Pilates and yoga studios. For those who enjoy active recreation, the community boasts four Har-Tru tennis courts and an extensive network of private hiking and cycling trails that connects the neighborhood directly to the natural wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains, ensuring that outdoor adventure is always just steps from your front door. Living in this refined enclave also grants access to a deep roster of social clubs and events. A significant benefit of this location is the reciprocal privilege program, where a single membership unlocks the amenities of all seven Cliffs communities across the Carolinas, including private marinas on Lake Keowee and world-class equestrian centers. Combining this expansive amenity package with the convenience of being just minutes from downtown Asheville and the regional airport, this townhome represents the pinnacle of luxury, lock-and-go mountain living.
