About this property

Gorgeous Estate on the lake with 300+ft of waterfront!

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

Welcome to our dream home on Lake Keowee! Built in 2017, this gorgeous home sits in a small, secluded gated community on the southern part of the lake. The property offers 180° views from every room, with the cove behind us serving as a natural preserve. To the left, two uninhabited islands stretch for ½ mile, connected by sandbars and home to local beavers and otters. The right side of the cove is protected state park property.

Your 300+ feet of private waterfront begins just 50 feet from the house, with an easy grade down to a flat backyard featuring 3,000 sq ft of landscaped recreation areas. Uniquely, the property offers two full-size boat docks, providing ample space for watercraft. Enjoy evening campfires at our lakeside fire pit!

Recent upgrades include:
- 3-person infrared sauna room
- 2 kayaks and 2 paddle-boards for water activities
- Added a new larger 26' open slip dock
- New table tennis equipment
- Updated lighter hardwood floors throughout
- Upgraded to an 85" TV in the lower level
- Workout area with dumbbells (3-33 lbs totaling 160lbs) and bench
- 240V, 50-amp EV charging outlet

While private and peaceful, we're conveniently located near restaurants and activities in Seneca, West Union, and Walhalla. Clemson University and the Tigers' football stadium is just 25 minutes away. As a green home, solar power provides nearly 100% of our electricity.

Beautiful property with big lake views. Well appointed and spacious. Very comfortable for our small group but could accommodate larger groups as well. The host was very responsive. Close to Clemson. Wish we had more time to make use of all of the amenities.

Wonderful

The property was perfect for our whole family. Everyone was comfortable in their bedrooms and there was plenty of places to find to read watch tv and enjoy the views. The dock and all of its toys kept the kids happy to swim right there. The kitchen had everything you need and the grill was great to have. Everyone agreed it was a great vacation!

Fabulous Easter weekend on Lake Keowee!

One of the nicest homes we've ever stayed at! Everything you need at your fingertips- this house lacks for nothing! Perfect layout for a large group- accommodated my husband and I, senior parents and two college-aged sons with a bunch of their friends. Use of the paddleboards and kayaks was an added bonus for a perfect weather weekend. Fran is incredibly responsive and was immediately available to help us work through an issue with the oven. Would definitely stay here again. The house is a gem!

Slice of heaven

Beautiful, bright, spacious, clean home in a protected cove. This home had all the features we were looking for - lots of bedrooms with king beds, screened porches, screened dining area, sandy beach, easy walk to the water/dock. We appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was, from pots and pans and drinkware to serving bowls and spices. This is a special home.

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!

This home had everything … the best lake views, wonderful porches, well appointed rooms (all updated), two docks, fire pit, paddleboards and kayaks. We enjoyed our week and will definitely be back. I would be hard pressed to find any faults. Communication with the owners was timely and easy. This home lived up to all our expectations and more.

A beautiful surprise in my own state!!!

This was one of the prettiest homes we’ve ever rented! The open spaces and views are breathtaking. The lake is so private and quiet..great for swimming and boating and kayaking too! A topnotch kitchen and beautiful places to gather for meals in this home so we chose to stay in and cook each night but nice cities within a short drive. This lake is the perfect temperature...not as chilly as Toxaway. We hope to go back !!

WE LOVE LAKE KEOWEE!

The pictures truly do not do this home justice! It is absolutely amazing with all the amenities of home (& more), not to mention an incredible layout for multiple families ( we had five families with 15 total people, crossing three generations)! It is beautifully decorated with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, an easy walk to the lake from the house, a large dock with shaded portions, a fire pit with ample and comfortable seating and awesome views, an extra refrigerator downstairs, plenty of parking... I could go on and on! The close proximity to Clemson was also a very nice plus! Go Tigers! The owner could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home ... The only thing that was bad about our stay was having to leave! We will definitely be back!

SPECTACULAR LAKEFRONT HOME

We were blessed to be able to spend Christmas 2018 at this phenomenal home with our entire family. Warm and cozy on the inside, there is enough room for everyone including the little guys (5/3/1) to spread out and have their own space. The dock is new and amazing and we were able to sit lakeside enjoying the sun. Kayaks are available, and we took advantage of them to explore the lake. The house is extremely well appointed and very well equipped, and we wanted for nothing. The owner, Fran, is friendly and professional, and made our visit that much easier. Our only regret is that it was not warm enough to swim or do some serious boating. It just means that we will have to come back to this home in the summer, which we surely will. We highly recommend this property for families and groups at any time of the year.

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!

Great Summer Vacation!

Our family of 15, including three generations, had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. It is clean, well decorated and comfortable. With two large living areas inside and large screened porches on both levels, there is room for everyone to gather and also to spread out. The kitchen is spacious and the best stocked I’ve ever seen in a rental house. It even has a griddle for “Mimi’s pancakes”.This home is private and secluded with an expansive view of the lake. There are two islands with a sand bar to the left that are easily accessible by kayaks and paddle boats that were provided by the owners. The water is clean and clear. We enjoyed the spacious dock with lots of chairs to enjoy the view and swim, and appreciated the lake toys provided by the owner.We rented a boat and jet skis and enjoyed exploring the lake. Fran was helpful to recommend rental sources. The owners also included an extensive list of nearby stores, restaurants and attractions in the area. They thought of everything! Fran was easy to reach and answered all of my questions in a timely manner.In addition to the lake activities, we enjoyed having the pool table, table tennis, chess set and other games available. To top it off, the outdoor firepit with lots of chairs provided a fun night for family smores.The family agreed that this was a wonderful choice. Thank you for your attention to detail and providing such a great place for us to gather.Linda H

Family vacation

What a fabulous house and location! At southern end of Lake Keowee, beautiful views. 2 kayaks and 2 SUPs provided, plus life jackets , floats and noodles so we could paddle over to an uninhabited island. Great dock , chairs for sunning. A second dock for parking the great pontoon boat that we rented for the week. Our host Fran responded quickly to any questions we had. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated and full of things to keep kids 7-18 occupied (pool table, ping pong table, games). Firepit where we made s’mores. In a gated neighborhood on a beautiful part of the lake. But only 15 minutes to a large Ingles grocery store a dcCVS. Highly recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by LakeKeoweePropertiesLLC

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 adult 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.
