Cliffs Valley Homes for Sale in Travelers Rest, SC

Cliffs Valley sits up against the Blue Ridge escarpment north of town, and the street names tell you what kind of place it is before you ever turn in — Mountain Summit Road, Panther Park Trail, Ridge Haven Trail, Foggy Ridge Way, Crown Ridge Road, Painter Creek Road. It is gated, with a guard, and the property inside ranges from finished Craftsman houses on half-acre golf-course lots to unimproved acreage waiting on a buyer with a plan.

What the community carries

The amenity package is the reason people buy here: golf, a clubhouse, athletic facilities, walking paths, a playground and a dog park, with common areas maintained by the association. Lots run from cul-de-sac half acres to wooded parcels with real grade, several with in-ground irrigation already installed. Houses sit on crawl spaces and are served by public water with septic on most of the community.

Schools and the drive

Addresses here fall to Slater-Marietta Elementary, then Northwest Middle and Travelers Rest High, all Greenville County Schools. US-25 — Geer Highway once it leaves town — is the road down to Travelers Rest and on toward Greenville, and the same highway climbs north toward the North Carolina line. SC-11, the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway, reaches the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area, eleven thousand acres holding Caesars Head, Jones Gap and Raven Cliff Falls.
