Location
The Cliffs at Glassy is nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and yet is only a short distance to all of the amenities desired for an active and fulfilling lifestyle. Stunning homes and homesites within the gated community are intermingled with breathtaking natural waterfalls, rock formations, and hiking trails. This ideal mountaintop location offers four distinct seasons assuring year-round golf and an abundance of outdoor and resident activities. We’re only a 35-minute drive to Greenville’s world-class dining, city festivals, the arts and theater district, and museums. We’re centrally located between Charlotte to the east and Atlanta to the southwest, and between Asheville to the north and Charleston to the southeast. There is easy access to major airports and highways and all places of interest.
Nature & Wildlife
Glassy is a wooded mountaintop community covering 3,500 acres with an abundance of wildlife living in perfect harmony with our residents. A great portion of our community borders on a lush, protected nature preserve which includes the Greenville Watershed Preserve. A pleasant mix of oak, maples, and other hardwood trees, complement the dogwoods and wild rhododendrons seen everywhere on the mountain. Every season has its own colorful mountain beauty, but our fall colors are the most spectacular. Black bears, deer, bobcats, wild turkeys, and many species of birds are seen throughout the year. We’re proud that the Cliffs at Glassy was recently recognized by the SC Audubon Society for our efforts to provide a sustainable future through bird-friendly and climate-resilient practices.
Weather
The Cliffs at Glassy’s top elevation is 3200 feet with a moderate, four-season climate. This ensures year-round enjoyment of outside activities, including golf. The average summer high temperature is 84 degrees and the average winter high temperature is 51 degrees. Typically there are two light snowfalls per season but with our moderate elevation and mild temperatures, snow will last only a few days. All roads are cleared immediately by a private contractor.
