Longcliff, a new community in Lake Toxaway, is a walkable mountain village where residents can step outside their front doors to trails and green space. At the heart of the community is a 44-acre nature preserve that is accessible from every residence. Combined with relatively flat terrain—an uncommon feature in mountain communities—the preserve makes it easy for residents of all ages to enjoy daily walks, hiking and time outdoors without leaving the neighborhood.
Developer Ryan Stahl says the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau offered the ideal setting for creating a community centered on nature and quality of life.

“The seasons in the Highland-Cashiers Plateau are a draw to a lot of folks—us included,” says Stahl. “As native Floridians, we are almost like kids again experiencing how nature unfolds before us each day. To be able to have summers that are not too hot and winters that are not too cold is such a rarity. No wonder more and more people are moving here full time.”
Stahl cites the people as the most important component of any community—Longcliff included.
“As full-time residents of the area ourselves now, my wife and I have truly enjoyed meeting new families as they move to the area,” he says. “When we meet them, it’s as if they almost have a guilty feeling that they don’t deserve to live here. It takes a bit of time for them to relax and once they do, there is a sense of peace and joy as they realize that they needed this in their lives.”
Complete home packages begin at $1.7 million and feature modern mountain architecture with timeless design, outdoor living spaces and sweeping mountain views. Longcliff connects residents to nature right outside their door, but with the convenience of a brand-new community setting.
“The mountains are a magical place where the cares of the world fall away,” says Stahl. “When I envisioned Longcliff, I wanted it to be a place where you could begin a new chapter, where your soul is fed.”
