The Woodlands At Cherokee Valley Homes in Travelers Rest, SC

First Impressions

The Woodlands At Cherokee Valley feels built around the landscape first. Set in Travelers Rest, this golf-community enclave mixes wooded homesites, sloping terrain, and long views toward the Blue Ridge Mountains and Paris Mountain. The result is a setting that feels elevated in every sense, with lots that invite custom building rather than cookie-cutter repetition. Many of the homesites sit on generous acreage for the area, and several enjoy fairway outlooks, winter mountain views, or a tucked-away cul-de-sac position.

"A wooded golf-side setting where custom homesites and mountain views shape the entire experience."

Home Styles & Community Feel

This is primarily a land community, with residential lots making up the dominant property type. The homesite sizes are substantial for a neighborhood setting, generally around half an acre, and the topography creates opportunities for walkout lower levels, layered outdoor living, and homes that take advantage of the views. Construction is not the story here; the setting is. What stands out is the freedom to choose a builder and create something tailored to the lot, whether that means a golf-course frontage design or a home positioned to capture the ridgeline beyond the trees.

Cherokee Valley’s built environment leans into a polished, resort-style tone. Paved and curbed streets, public utilities, and underground lines give the community a finished feel, while the surrounding custom homes reinforce the sense of place. The neighborhood’s strongest visual identity comes from its wooded character and the way homesites open to the course, the hills, and the changing light over the mountains.

Amenities & Daily Rhythm

Cherokee Valley centers daily life around the club. Optional membership opens access to an 18-hole P.B. Dye-designed golf course, clubhouse, Core450 Restaurant & Bar, pool, fitness center, driving range, tennis courts, and social events. That mix gives the community a rhythm that feels active without being hectic: tee times, dinner at the clubhouse, a workout, or an afternoon spent on the course-side trails and scenic drives. The Swamp Rabbit Trail, Blue Ridge Mountain recreation, Falls Park on the Reedy, and nearby lakes such as Keowee and Jocassee all broaden the outdoor options.

"Club amenities, mountain scenery, and wooded homesites give the neighborhood a distinctly resort-like pace."
