The Cliffs Real Estate | $2.65M | 5 Bed, 5 Bath | 4,600-4,799 Sq Ft |2,600 feet of Elevation Bordering 18,000-Acre Greenville Watershed

There are mountain homes with views. And then there are homes where the view becomes the architecture, where every window, every porch, every carefully oriented living space exists to frame the endless Blue Ridge horizon. 38 Falling Star Way sits at 2,600 feet, capturing north-to-northwest light and panoramic, long-range mountain vistas. Spanning approximately 4,600-4,799 square feet across multiple thoughtfully designed levels, this $2,650,000 estate offers an elevated mountain sanctuary on a private, non-through street backing 18,000 acres of protected Greenville Watershed. 

This is The Cliffs Real Estate at its finest—a standout offering within The Cliffs at Glassy. Sophisticated design, rustic character, and the kind of privacy that comes from having a wilderness preserve as your backyard. 

Thoughtfully proportioned across nearly 4,800 square feet, the home balances expansive gathering spaces with private retreats.

2,600 Feet of Elevation and 18,000 Protected Acres 

When evaluating mountain real estate, elevation and surroundings matter as much as square footage. Here’s what makes 38 Falling Star Way’s positioning extraordinary: 

Your Elevation Advantages at 2,600+ Feet:

• Cooler temperatures year-round (often 10-15 degrees below Greenville)
• North-to-northwest orientation captures changing light throughout the day
• Layered mountain views that reveal depth and distance
• Above the cloud line on misty mornings, watching weather systems move below you
• Crisp, clean air with reduced humidity

The 18,000-acre Greenville Watershed directly behind this property isn’t just undeveloped land. It’s a legally protected conservation area that will never be built upon. This means your mountain views, wildlife corridors, and sense of absolute seclusion are permanent. No future development, no neighboring construction, just endless forest stretching to the horizon. It’s the ultimate luxury in mountain real estate—privacy that is legally protected and permanently preserved. 

The Great Room: Where Mountain Views Anchor Every Moment

Upon entering 38 Falling Star Way, you’re immediately drawn to the long-range mountain views that anchor the home’s entire design. The great room showcases vaulted, beam-accented ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a custom wood mantel. Warm yet refined, rustic yet sophisticated. Illuminated built-in cabinetry adds both function and elegance, while the adjoining dining room and butler’s pantry wet bar create an inviting flow for entertaining and relaxed evenings at home. 

This is where rustic mountain character meets timeless traditional design. Hickory hardwood floors flow throughout the main level. Custom craftsmanship shows in every detail, from the hand-selected stone fireplace to the carefully curated built-ins. But the real showstopper is the floor-to-ceiling windows framing views that change with every season, every hour, and every passing cloud. 

Gourmet Kitchen: Where Culinary Ambition Meets Mountain Mornings 

Just off the main living area, the gourmet kitchen and breakfast area are designed for both passionate home chefs and effortless everyday living. Custom Maple Ridge cabinetry anchors the space, blending warmth with refined craftsmanship. A generous island with bar seating invites connection and conversation.

Kitchen Features:

• Six-burner gas cooktop with electric griddle for serious cooking 
• Luxury-branded appliances throughout
• Dedicated secondary prep sink for multi-cook workflows
• Large walk-in pantry with custom shelving 
• Breakfast area framed by breathtaking mountain views

This is a gathering place where cooking, conversation, and those mountain views come together. You’re prepping dinner while watching sunset light paint the ridges golden. You’re having morning coffee at the island while fog lifts from the valleys below. The kitchen becomes a theater, and the mountains provide the backdrop.

Primary Suite and Spa-Inspired Retreat

The main-level primary suite exudes warmth and sophistication, featuring direct deck access and high windows that frame stunning mountain views from bed. You have the luxury of waking up to sunrise over the Blue Ridge without leaving your pillow. 

The spa-inspired bathroom delivers exceptional comfort: dual vanities with built-in storage and interior outlets, a walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and a generous walk-in closet with a center double-sided drawer bank, built-in laundry hampers, and an ironing board cabinet. Every detail is considered, every amenity is thought through. 

The main level also includes a full bath and additional bedroom (ideal as a home office or studio), plus a laundry room with extensive built-ins and a work sink.

Outdoor Living: 1.76 Acres of Mountain Sanctuary 

If the interior spaces impress, the outdoor living areas will convince you to spend every waking hour outside. Adjacent to the main living spaces, you’ll find covered porches, a stone outdoor fireplace, and expansive Trex decking, all positioned to capture those panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain views.

Morning coffee on the covered porch, watching dawn break over layered ridges. Afternoons reading by the outdoor fireplace. Evening dinners on the deck as the mountains turn purple in twilight. The 1.76-acre property features striking natural rock outcroppings and artfully landscaped grounds that blend seamlessly into the surrounding forest. Instead of just observing nature, you’re living within it. 

The oversized three-car garage provides exceptional functionality with built-in cabinetry, a utility sink, front and rear service doors, and a tiled dog bath. Even the practical spaces at 38 Falling Star Way are thoughtfully designed. 

Lower Level Guest Retreat: Privacy for Everyone 

The lower level functions as a complete guest retreat, designed for hosting family or friends while maintaining everyone’s privacy. Two well-appointed bedrooms with en-suite baths to ensure guests have their own sanctuaries. A spacious recreation room with custom-built-ins offers a separate gathering space from the main living areas. Two unfinished areas offer storage or future expansion possibilities. 

Large windows and access to the expansive lower deck mean guests enjoy the same spectacular mountain views from their private wing. The natural rock outcroppings in the rear yard create a dramatic, wild backdrop that feels more like a national park than a backyard. 

An upper-level en-suite bonus room offers additional flexibility (guest room, home office, or private retreat) with mountain views and convenient access to main living areas below. 

The Details That Elevate Mountain Living

This residence goes beyond square footage and views. Additional features include Jeld-Wen windows and exterior doors, a whole-house Generac generator (mountain essential), Carolina Closet organizers throughout, recessed audio speakers and ceiling fans in most rooms, exterior security cameras, and a Control4 home automation system with two keypads. Sophisticated technology integrated seamlessly into mountain living.
