About this property

Gorgeous Estate w/180° views of the lake and 300+ ft of waterfront!

Welcome to our dream home on Lake Keowee! We built this home in 2017 and are constantly upgrading and enhancing it. No expenses spared, this home is gorgeous! The home is set in a small secluded and private gated community on the southern part of Lake Keowee. The property offers 180° views of the lake from every room in the house. The cove behind the house is practically a nature preserve. To the left of the home is a beautiful sandy cove bordered by two uninhabited islands that stretch out for ½ mile connected by two sandbars. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the beavers and otters who live on the islands. The right side of the large cove is protected state park property. Directly behind the home and extending for 300+ feet is your private water front access.

The home is unique in that it may be the only home on Keowee that offers the use of two full size docks, so there's plenty of space to spread out and dock your toys. Immediately behind our home is an oversized boat dock. Then to the south is our second boat dock with an open boat slip.

The main indoor living area is 5,600+ sq. ft, and the home has four porches facing the lake which provide an additional 2000 sq. ft of enclosed porch and patio living.

All six bedrooms have unobstructed waterfront views. Four bedrooms have king-size beds. 1 bedroom has two queens and the bunk room consists of 2 bunks (XL long twins/ over 2 queens). The main level kitchen is to die for! It’s beautiful and provides plenty of cabinet space and an oversized island for cooking and entertaining. Appliances are all professional grade Thermador.

The home consists of two oversized family rooms. The main level Lodge room, has 23 ft ceilings accented with a beautiful floor to ceiling white limestone, gas fireplace. The lower level family room is set up as our entertainment area and has a pool table, a 85 inch TV, a gaming table and a bar/kitchen area.

There are two porches on the main level and two on the lower level. And while that may seem a bit excessive, you'll discover that each of these rooms has their own unique role. We tend to use the large upper porch for our morning coffee and breakfast as well as for evening cocktail hour. The large lower porch is our NCAA game-day room complete with a TV above the fireplace. Ideal for cooler fall days and catching a game. The south porch on the upper level is our outdoor dinning and grilling area with a large 10 person dining room table. And the lower patio is ideal for summer time lunch breaks with the kids. Each of the two large porches have imported Italian tile and large 50-inch custom wood burning fireplaces.

The back of the house is just 50 feet from the water and offers an easy grade down to the flat back yard which has 3000 sqft of landscaped recreation areas. To compliment your busy day on the lake, you want to relaxe in the sauna and then enjoy a campfire, a glass of wine with smores at the large fire-pit area 20 feet from the water!

New feature in 2023: We upgraded the hardwood floor colors. The complete photo library is not updated yet, but I did add 3 new photos that highlight the kitchen and living room area. We love the new lighter, brighter color! To help with your personal training we did add a set of dumbells totaling ~160lbs (ranging from 3-33 lbs) and a bench. For the convenience of EV owners we added a 240v- 50 amp EV charging outlet that will charge your car in <7 hours!

If you want to rent a boat, Keeter at ClearSky pontoon will provide delivery of one of their 22' Bentley pontoons boats directly to our boat dock if you rent from them.

While the neighborhood provides a private and quiet setting, the home is convenient to all the great restaurants and activities in Seneca, West Union, and Walhalla. And just 25 minutes down the road you can be at a Clemson Tigers football game or one of the local wonderful restaurants!

BTW – It’s an environmentally friendly green house! Solar power provides nearly 100% of the needed electricity! And we just added the new EV charger

Graduation weekend
This was our second stay at this property and it was just as fabulous as the first time! Fran is always available and very responsive to address any questions. Their property has everything you can dream of from a fully stocked kitchen, gas grill, plenty of porch space to gorgeous outdoor spaces. We traveled with a wide age group from 15 months to 87. Most of our group never left the property. Three of us left for my daughter’s Clemson graduation which was a nice 30 minute drive. It was a wonderful place for us to gather to celebrate our daughter, Grayson, and also our mom and aunt for an early Mother’s Day. After returning home, I received a message from Fran that her cleaners had located an iPad which ended up being my 87yo aunts. She was kind enough to mail it back to us. We will return for a 3rd stay sooner rather than later. Thank you Fran for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home!

Thanksgiving vacation week
This beautiful, well-designed and manicured lake house was perfect for 3 families of 4 and our father. It is spacious with a gorgeous porch and view of the lake. The host was very quick to answer with a question when we first arrived. Bedrooms are large and very comfortable. We already are making plans to visit again!

Just as described
The house is absolutely gorgeous and the location on the lake is perfect - you are on big water, but there are sandbars so you avoid boat traffic. We had 4 families so each couple had a king bed, and 2 rooms for the kids. It was perfect. House was super clean and kitchen was well stocked. We had one family that wanted to use the sauna and the owners were very quick to respond to our request. My only suggestion is that, for a house of this caliber, I would have expected a box of tissues in each bathroom along with a starter bar of soap. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous weekend on the lake
We had a great time at this lovely house! There was so much space to spread out with all the wonderful porches and two separate living rooms. We enjoyed the lake and all the fun lake toys too. The house was very convenient for us to attend the Clemson game as well. Looking forward to renting again!

3 Generations on the Lake
We had a family with 3 generations (8 adults and 5 children under the age of 7) at the house for a week and had a wonderful time. The layout of the house is perfect for a group our size and everyone had their own space to retreat to, while still having large gathering spaces for everyone to be together. We especially loved the screened-in porches! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Mini Family Reunion
We LOVED this house!! We had four adult couples getting together for a family get together and the layout allowed plenty of personal space plus loads of options (dining tables, kitchen, porches, living room, fire pit) for bringing everyone together. The place was clean and well-appointed. The neighborhood/cove are quiet; the views are great; the kayaks/paddle boards were a nice benefit; and the binder of local info was very helpful as newbies to the lake. Thank you to the hosts!!! Wish we could have stayed longer but we all left with the intent of making our stay at this particular house a regular thing.

Easter weekend retreat
Property was amazing and wonderful. Had lots of amenities, loved the spices available, all TVs worked well, nothing broken and nicely kept. Kitchen pretty much stocked with anything you would need, so our stay was amazing. Only recommendation to make stay a little easier and this is picky, we don't always pack shampoo and soap as most of the VRBO properties we stay in supply samples. This is a lake property so I suspect many renters drive there but since we were flying and we carry on it is harder to pack anything over 4oz. Just would be a nice convenience since property is not close to any local store to get simple supplies. Overall a wonderful stay!

Family time!
What an amazing home! The location is about a halfway meeting point for us and family in Florida. We had a group of 6 adults and 4 children (ages 3-10) and certainly had plenty of room to spread out. Almost every part of the home has amazing views of the lake. Absolutely love all of the porch room, the swing and the fireplaces. The kitchen is well stocked and has high-end appliances. We rented a boat to explore the lake and had an easy time docking. Absolutely had an amazing time. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Birthday getaway
My family and I enjoyed 4 days at this beautiful lake house. Living on the coast of South Carolina we have our fair share of beautiful sights but our morning views over the lake were absolutely gorgeous. We have rented many homes on Keowee over the years but have never received such a thorough orientation with all of the suggestions of where to buy food, where to grab lunch and where to hike. Our group consisted of an age range from 85 to 1. We try to gather each year to celebrate our mom’s birthday. She loves having her 2 daughters and their spouses along with her 5 granddaughters and their significant others and her great grandson under one roof for a few days. This house allowed for plenty of togetherness with the great outdoor spaces and then enough private spaces for each family to have quiet time. We look forward to returning next year. Thank you for sharing your home with us and allowing us to create many memories!

About the host

Hosted by Lake Keowee Properties, LLC

Host profile image
I'm a native New Yorker who moved to Atlanta in 1996. My husband Fran is from Boston and New Hampshire. We have three children who have spent most of their childhood vacationing on lake Keowee. LakekeoweePropertiesLLC.com have hosted 100's of VRBO families at Keowee since 2003.. We purchased this land in 2012. It took us about 2 years to review 1000's of home plans before we finally developed the plans that we felt maximized the unique location of the lot and ensured that every room had a beautiful view of the lake. We broke ground on this new home in October 2015 and finally finished construction, landscaping and furnishing it by May 2017.

Why they chose this property

Simple - Private, secluded big water views to die for! The lot is unique, and unlike any other location in lake Keowee as it offers unencumbered views of the lake. To the left of the home are two private islands. To the right on the far shore is protected state land. After moving to Atlanta we began shopping for a get away location for day trips and camping. We tried a lot of other beautiful places within 2 hours of Atlanta before we finally found Lake Keowee in 2003. We were amazed at how beautiful the lake was. The water is a beautiful emerald green and the Appalachian mountains provide a stunning view from the water headed north. We discovered this unique piece of land in 2012, and it was so stunning that we closed on it within one week!

What makes this property unique

Quiet exclusive gated neighborhood, with unobstructed views of the lake. 180° view of big water, framed by public areas that will never be built on ; two undeveloped islands border the view on the left and state owned parks border the view to the right. A public boat ramp is less than 1/4 mile away by water. 10 minutes to shopping in West Union which has a great Ingles supermarket, Starbucks, restaurants, and antique shopping. Access to dozens of waterfalls and whitewater rafting within 20-40 minutes of the home.
