The Southcliff community, ideally situated minutes from Asheville, combines classic mountain living with convenience to town. It is here that neighbors gather to enjoy a mountain sunset. It is here that miles of hiking trails beckon a morning walk. It is here, too, that you will find the Laurel Haven Neighborhood, ideally situated for the nature lover between Southcliff Park and Twin Creeks Park. Enjoy being steps from an outdoor playground or gather with friends and bask in the warmth of the outdoor fireplace in the open air pavilion. Laurel Haven resident Ronald Riccardo praises the convenience of the community. “In seven miles we can be downtown enjoying the symphony, yet we are living on the side of a mountain!”

The Savannah Plan, one of the Biltmore Farms Homes Cottage Collection, organically fits the mountain aesthetic of the Southcliff Community. The design of the plan flows naturally with the surrounding location on the south face of Cedar Cliff Mountain, offering a mountain experience in communion with the land. The plan is elegantly understated and combines what more options. “This is a new design for us,” notes Lee Thomason, Vice President of Residential & Commercial Development for Biltmore Farms, LLC. “It marries customer desires with elements that have worked in the past.”

“The Savannah plan is unique as it hits the heart of where we see the vast majority of the market looking,” adds Thomason. This is single level living with enough space to entertain but very little wasted space. The homeowner is not paying for unneeded space. The high level of fit and finish ensures refined entertaining. The owner can truly express who they are, as the topography of most homesites allows casual lower level and terrace living for friends to congregate and relax, and take in the panoramic views and nature of Southcliff, a place where you don’t have to be overly formal, notes Thomason. “The functional areas facilitate kids coming and going and overnight guests, without overdoing it with wasted space.”

Working with Biltmore Farms Homes is very efficient. “People want streamlined turnkey convenience,” notes Thomason, “and the Biltmore Farms Savannah plan is efficient while still offering a lot of possibilities.” The completion time is 7 months from the time Biltmore Farms begins construction. Yet, despite efficiencies in production, there is a lot of variety to customize your home. The Riccardo’s built a home with Biltmore Farms Homes and are very satisfied. “The extras that the builder put in place and the attention to detail are excellent,” Riccardo notes. “Biltmore Farms tended to anything we requested immediately.”

Everything you think of as luxury (granite countertops, a stone fireplace, stainless steel appliances) comes standard in the Savannah plan. Upgrades and options most homeowners are paying extra for are all here as part of the standard price. The homeowner has the option of engaging the interior designer to pick from a huge variety of finish options (Biltmore Farms Homes pays for the first three hours with the designer).

True mountain living with panoramic views of the Blue Ridge and the convenience of building your dream home is enhanced by entering a neighborhood with a strong sense of community. “The whole neighborhood is very friendly,” says Riccardo, “and the mixture of ages and people make it a great place for families, couples and retirees. I would recommend it to everyone!” Laurel Haven prices start around $390k for the Biltmore Farms Homes Cottage Collection. Call 866.844.0660 or click here to request more information from Southcliff
