Driving out  74A from Asheville, I was reminded why this road is known as the "Scenic Byway." On this bright late December day, the mountains bordering a Carolina Blue sky  and touched at the very top rims with lacy frost were breathtaking. Long ago, farmers drove their livestock to Charleston, Columbia and Charlotte near what is today 74A - the Drovers Road. Southcliff overlooks that site. This development is said to be a private, gated-community, inspired by nature.

When buying mountain real estate do your homework.  Slope stability can only be determined by state licensed engineers and geologists: Buyers, Sellers and REALTORS® are not qualified to make these assessments. Complete site specific analyses are available and advisable. I am happy to refer you to our team of experts.
