Curved timber beams arc overhead the moment you step inside, drawing the eye up through cathedral ceilings to the kind of craftsmanship that announces a true mountain lodge. Built in 2008 by Gabriel Builders, this Tahoe-inspired Craftsman rests on 2.22 acres above Cliffs Valley, where Table Rock fills the windows and the Blue Ridge runs uninterrupted to the horizon.
The home wears its materials honestly. Stacked stone, cedar and stained oak give it weight and warmth, while a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace anchors the great room. A wall of windows pulls the mountains inside.
Craftsman baseboards and cove molding carry through every room. A custom staircase with stained-glass cabinetry turns the simple act of moving between floors into a moment, and a three-floor elevator reaches every level. Twelve-foot ceilings run through most of the main level, with hardwood underfoot and automatic shades that follow the sun.
The formal dining room sits beneath a coffered ceiling framed by picture windows. A breakfast room under its own beamed ceiling catches the first light of the day. The kitchen was built for the slow Saturday and the holiday crowd in equal measure, with a large custom island and granite counters, and it opens to a screened porch where a gas stone fireplace and a hand-worked mantle make outdoor living a nine-month proposition rather than a summer one. For the collector, a wine cellar fitted with custom lattice racking waits to be filled.
The primary suite is where the house exhales. Doors open to the deck and the mountain view, a ceramic-tile fireplace warms the room, and the bath gathers a dual vanity, a freestanding soaking tub, a steam shower and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, a loft with built-in shelves reads as library, study or quiet perch above the action. Two guest suites each carry walk-in baths and closets, and one adds a private balcony over the great room behind a pair of pocket doors.

The house was built in 2008 by Gabriel Builders, among the most respected custom builders working in these mountains and a name that carries weight with anyone who has bought inside the Cliffs communities. It is the kind of provenance that does not appear on a feature sheet and matters a great deal on a second viewing.
You can see where the money went. The curved timber beams in the great room are the obvious example, because a curve costs several times what a straight run does and there is no way to fake one. The same discipline runs through the joinery, the stone and the way the deck is framed to hold the view rather than interrupt it.
A custom build from a known regional builder holds its value differently from a speculative one. The buyer who understands the difference is the buyer who pays for it, and they tend to ask who built it before they ask what it costs.

The full property film walks the approach, the great room and the deck in one continuous piece.
About thirty minutes from Greenville. Close enough for the airport and the restaurants, far enough that the ridgeline is the only thing in view. The home sits inside the gates of Cliffs Valley, and is offered as part of the Cliffs Collection, which carries it to qualified buyers across the Christie's International Real Estate network of approximately 10,000 agents in nearly 50 countries and territories.
Club membership at Cliffs Valley is separate from the purchase. Current amenities and membership terms are confirmed directly with the club.
Cliffs Valley sits off Highway 25 in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, hidden enough that most people who pass the sign have never been through the gate. It is one of seven Cliffs communities across the Carolinas, and that number is the point. A single membership opens all seven.
For a buyer who plays, the arithmetic is simple. Seven courses, one initiation, and a different one within reach on any given morning. For everyone else it buys a wellness center with indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, clubhouse dining, racquet sports, and access to Lake Keowee.
Membership is optional, separate from the purchase, and arranged directly with the club. Terms change; confirm current initiation and dues with Cliffs membership before relying on any figure.
