Cradled by the Blue Ridge Mountains, Cummings Cove Golf & Country Club is a private, gated community with more than 650 acres offering a wide range of homes and homesites. Close to everything, yet secluded in the heart of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Cummings Cove Golf & Country Club is mountain living at its best in a secure, gated golf community. Located 8 miles west of Hendersonville and 15 minutes south of Asheville Airport, shopping, services and health care are just minutes away.

The community’s award-winning 18 hole, par 71 course, playable for all skill levels, features tree-lined fairways, lakes, streams, waterfalls and mountain views. Visiting golfers and tournaments are welcome. Other amenities include clubhouse with restaurant and lounge, social center, and sports complex with swimming pool and tennis courts.

Living is easy with all utilities underground and a diverse selection of homes, villas and cottages. Residents enjoy urban conveniences in an idyllic mountain setting. At nearly 3,000 feet elevation, Cummings Cove is high enough to provide extraordinary mountain views, but at a level where the climate remains moderate. Homesites offer long-range Blue Ridge Mountain views and wooded sites overlook streams and lakes. Easy-care golf course villas are ideal vacation homes, yet large enough for year-round living.
