The Reserve at Lake Keowee

Just two hours from Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina, The Reserve at Lake Keowee is a private lakefront community located on Lake Keowee in Sunset, South Carolina. The Reserve was developed by Greenwood Communities and Resorts, which has been family owned since 1978 by the Self family. Greenwood Communities and Resorts are well-known for their commitment to developing properties to the best possible advantage with regard to an area’s natural beauty while steadfastly incorporating the principles of intelligent, sustainable land planning.

This fabulous master-planned community that sits on 3,900 acres of lush vegetation and has placed over 550 acres in perpetual conservation easement for future generations of property owners to enjoy. Lake Keowee is a 18,500 acre lake fed by mountain streams. It is ideally situated at the end of the Blue Ridge Escarpment, which is the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains, and easily accessed via Scenic Highway 11.

Needless to say, it an angler’s delight and provides almost limitless recreation for lovers of water sports or those in need of relaxation.

Golf

Jack Nicklaus utilized the natural features typical of the foothills and the Blue Ridge Escarpment region – sloping terrain, lake and mountain views and mature forests of mixed hardwoods and pines – in designing a gorgeous 18-hole Signature Golf Course.

The course encompasses 5 sets of tees, including new beginner tees, and enjoys a dramatic lakefront finish. Check out the signature 15th hole!

The Reserve at Lake Keowee’s unique design is based on the concept of the village being the heart of the community. This home allows you to enjoy that concept to the fullest while offering a sense of privacy and views that rival most waterfront homes. It is an easy stroll to the pool complex, clubhouse, Great Lawn¬¬ and popular gathering space known as THE MARKET. Your boat slip is as close as it would be on any waterfront lot and is bordered by a path that runs along the lakefront. Expansive Lake Keowee views command attention from the moment you enter the home and are enjoyed from most every room on each level. The Great Room extends the length of the home and flows easily to the covered porch beyond. The SC weather affords residents the option of al fresco dining most of the year and with the lake backdrop why resist. Inside the impressive stone fireplace acts as another focal point enjoyed from every angle. The main level open plan is thoughtfully arranged and lends itself to having the Great Room, Dining Room and Kitchen work together to provide comfort and size for just about any gathering. A well thought out butler’s pantry is perfect for the host to prepare and serve drinks without disrupting conversation. The upper level is dedicated to the owners use with a master retreat where they can relax and recharge indoors or enjoy the sunrise, moonrise or vivid starry nights on the open deck that extends across the entire home. Although designed to accommodate two bedrooms, the current owners opted to utilize the adjoining bedroom as an office. Both rooms boast full baths and French doors to the deck that overlooks panoramic lakes views. Like the main and upper levels, the Terrace level includes outdoor options with its covered patio spanning the length of the home. Step off into the yard and take a short stroll to the docks and dangle your feet in the lake. Guests will enjoy their privacy as the two bedrooms on this level are at opposite ends of the home. One is ensuite but both enjoy full baths. The recreation room in the middle is used as a billiards room. The French doors leading to the patio also draw in the light and the lake views. The exterior of the Village Point homes brings to mind the colorful look of popular seaside resort living. The unique two car garage configuration creates a flagstone courtyard entryway and another venue for enjoying the outdoors. A catwalk was added for convenient direct access to the main level porch from the front of the home. High visibility screens on main level porch do not impede view. They are individual pane and retractable so are easy enough to raise and lower as desired. The best in “Village” living. This Village Point home not only has the best view available, it incorporates customized extras taking it well beyond the basic model originally offered to buyers. The owners contemplated full time living that works well for more comfortable short term stays too. Their upgrades concentrated on both design and functionality. Hickory hardwood floors and a tasteful selection of plumbing and lighting fixtures on the design side and enlarged storage areas reflect just a few of the notable improvements. Neighbors will come running should the power go out. With a Kohler back-up house generator, you’ll be the most popular neighbors on the point. Club’s rental leaseback program is available, making this an excellent option as an investment property if desired. $1,175,000 Active

Lake Keowee offers some of the best lake and golf gated communities in the South. Only one offers a true “village” concept for those who also desire a small-town atmosphere and convenience. The Reserve at Lake Keowee was developed on such a concept with “The Great Lawn” being the heart of the community/village. The Great Lawn presides over the beauty of Lake Keowee stretching from the Clubhouse at the elevated end of the lush Great Lawn to the 2 majestic stone pavilions overlooking an amphitheater style gathering place and the marina below. A select few homes line the Great Lawn and enjoy the park like setting as well as amazing convenience. The clubhouse, driving range, market, pool complex, meeting hall and tennis complex are all in walking distance to these homes. The new fitness complex is close enough to walk but for those who prefer, a golf cart is the ultimate transportation to all amenities! Park in the garage upon arrival and don’t start the car again until you leave. The Great Lawn homes were designed by renowned Atlanta architect Keith Summerour to compliment the setting. Summerour’s signature architectural details include arched doorways, inviting porches and zero wasted space. This home has three spacious, very private suites. There is also a bedroom on the main level. The Great Room, Dining and Kitchen are open yet delineated spaces that work as one when gathering with friends and family. At the Great Room end, a wood burning fireplace contributes to the ambience. At the kitchen end an oversized island, wet bar/serving buffet and butler pantry nook make entertaining a pleasure. An inviting wood paneled den at the front of the home spills out onto the front porch via French Doors and offers a comfortable option for watching a game or taking in a movie. At the lake, you tend to want to spend time outside. When seeking privacy, the screened porch complete with stone fireplace is perfect and complimented by an adjoining open deck. Prefer to take in any activity that might be happening on the Great Lawn? The front porch spans the width of the home and can be accessed via two sets of French doors as well as the front door. The bedroom suites are impressive. Spacious and private where overnight guests are spoiled. The master suite spans the front of the home and enjoys a dedicated covered porch with Great Lawn views and accessed via French doors from the bedroom and another set leading out from the expansive bathroom. The second suite on this level spans the rear of the home. These two suites are separated by a wide hall and a convenient laundry room. The third suite is accessed via a private staircase and can be closed off from the rest of the home. Large enough for a king bed plus bunks, it makes a wonderful family suite. The fourth suite is on the main level with access to covered porch via French doors. This room could also be used as an office if desired. Speaking of beds, this home is being sold furnished (see Schedule A for exceptions). Close and move in the same day. Still time to own for the winter holidays when the Great Lawn rivals a scene from Norman Rockwell. Forth of July brings explosions of not only fireworks but activities on The Great Lawn and at the resort style pool. Enjoy year round activities, a strong sense of community and outstanding amenities at a compelling value in this right size, right location home! $898,000 Active
