Each Cliffs community offers an expansive system of trails that crosses streams, rises to hilltops and mountaintops, and offers adventure around every corner. Whether you hike to feel your heart beat harder, cycle just for the views, or connect with nature for personal inspiration, this is the place.
The Cliffs at Walnut Cove features more than six miles of trails leading through wildflower fields, across creeks and alongside waterfalls. Choose a vigorous hike on the Spring Head Trail or an easy walk to enjoy a quiet moment at a fishing spot, the DuBose Nature Center, or a handcrafted bridge.

The Golf House offers all the amenities one would expect, from spacious lounges, to high-ceilinged locker rooms, to a full-service pro shop. Here, members gather with neighbors on covered porches overlooking the practice area, practice their game in the evenings on the lighted putting green, or stop in for a bite to eat at the Turnhouse Grille.

The scatter diagram plots price (along the horizontal axis) and square footage (along the vertical axis), the pattern of the resulting points reveals any correlation present between the price and the size of the home. When enough correctly selected closed sales are present a linear regression can be calculated providing insight for properly pricing a property. This graph is only useful when similar properties are considered. For assistance identifying similar properties and determining if a correlation does exist, please contact your agent or customer service.
This line graph monitors the average amount of time it takes to market and close on a property. This is useful for monitoring whether a market is accelerating or decelerating. Since it is calculated from closed properties it is useful as a trailing indicator. For assistance predicting the future direction of the market based on active properties, please contact your agent or customer service.
Examining the number of homes sold per month can be an effective way to gauge the sales pace for a particular market. When sales pace is considered alongside days on market the two metrics can prove very effective for revealing future market conditions.
In neighborhoods where properties closely resemble one another, tracking price per square foot over time can provide some basic pricing insight. It’s important to only use this graph in neighborhoods with properties of similar age, condition, and size. For help determining if price per square foot is appropriate, please contact your agent or customer service for more assistance.
This pie chart considers the distribution of sales across all of the price brackets during a specific time period and area. The chart is useful for quickly analyzing which price categories are most commonly sold and when multiple pie charts are considered for spotting consumer preferences across different geographies.
Information throughout these charts are represented as reported by the North Carolina Multiple Listing Service, which does not guarantee or is in any way responsible for its accuracy. Data maintained by the MLS may not reflect all real estate activity in the market.
