About This Home
The Gem of Cliffs Valley: A Story of Unrivaled Views and Mountain Majesty There are places that capture the imagination, and then there are those that redefine it. Welcome to 15 Water View Court, a property so iconic it has graced the cover of the Cliffs Valley golf scorecard and has long been whispered about as “The Gem” of this prestigious community. Perched on a private 270-degree peninsula, 40 feet above the emerald fairways, this is more than a home—it is a legacy, a sanctuary, and a front-row seat to the breathtaking theater of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From the moment you arrive, the world outside falls away, replaced by a sense of tranquility and awe. The estate’s 1.5 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds offer a level of privacy that is simply unattainable elsewhere in the community. Here, you are surrounded by nature’s grandeur, with no close neighbors to interrupt the symphony of rustling leaves and distant birdsong. Yet, the convenience of the Cliffs Valley gatehouse and clubhouse remains just a short stroll away, offering the perfect balance of seclusion and community. The home itself, a masterpiece by premier builder Alora, is a testament to architectural excellence and thoughtful design. Step inside, and your gaze is immediately drawn through walls of glass to the stunning panorama beyond. The 25-foot ceilings of the great room soar towards the heavens, while a magnificent stone fireplace provides a warm and inviting anchor to the space. Every room is a vantage point, offering ever-changing views of the Ben Wright-designed golf course, the shimmering lake, and the majestic mountains that stretch to the horizon. This is a home built for both grand entertaining and intimate moments. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is a culinary dream, with custom cabinetry, professional-grade appliances, and a massive center island that invites family and friends to gather. The seamless flow into the dining room and the elegant butler’s pantry ensures that every occasion is effortless. For moments of quiet reflection, the sunroom lounge offers a 270-degree embrace of the surrounding beauty, a place to savor your morning coffee as the sun crests the mountains. The main-level primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, with a curved wall of windows that frames the stunning landscape like a living work of art. A cozy fireplace, a spa-inspired bath, and a private sitting area create a retreat where you can rejuvenate your body and soul. The terrace level is an entertainer’s paradise, complete with a second full kitchen, a wine cellar, and a state-of-the-art golf simulator. A private gym, steam shower, and sauna offer a wellness experience that rivals the world’s finest resorts. Outside, the expansive flagstone terraces and screened-in porch with its own fireplace provide the perfect setting for alfresco dining, sunset cocktails, or simply unwinding to the gentle sounds of the cascading waterfall and koi pond. This is a place where memories are made, where stories are told, and where the beauty of the mountains becomes a part of your soul. 15 Water View Court is not just a home; it is a lifestyle. It is the thrill of a morning round of golf on a world-class course, the joy of an afternoon hike on a private trail, and the peace of an evening spent watching the stars blanket the mountains. It is a place where you can connect with nature, with your loved ones, and with yourself. This is your opportunity to own a piece of paradise, to live the story that only “The Gem of Cliffs Valley” can tell. Cliffs Membership Available with access to 7 world class clubs.
