This premier 0.85-acre home site at 44 Ridge Pine Trail is positioned near the crest of a ridge within the exclusive, gated community of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. The property features a perfectly gentle slope that offers exceptional building efficiency for either a one-level residence or a main-and-lower level home, all while capturing spectacular long-range mountain views. Located just minutes from the vibrant culture of downtown Asheville and the Asheville Regional Airport, this lot provides a rare sense of quietude where the only sounds are the whistle of the eastern towhee, the snap of a deer in the forest, and the call of a red-tail hawk overhead. Practicality meets luxury here, as a new four-bedroom septic permit was issued in December 2023, streamlining the path to creating your custom mountain retreat. Living at Walnut Cove means more than just a beautiful home site; it offers a five-star lifestyle centered around wellness and world-class amenities. Residents can enjoy the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, which winds through a lush valley bordered by the Pisgah National Forest. The community is anchored by an 18,000-square-foot Wellness Center featuring indoor and outdoor saline pools, Har-Tru tennis courts, and a full-service spa. Social life revolves around the award-winning Tudor-style clubhouse and The Tavern. With private access to miles of hiking and biking trails and reciprocal privileges across all seven Cliffs communities, this location truly represents the pinnacle of mountain living in Western North Carolina.
