About this property
Keowee Family Retreat
Perfect for generations of family, large groups, or even small business retreats any time of year, our home is situated on nearly 18 wooded acres on the south end of Lake Keowee. The beautiful post and beam barn-style main home was completed in 2018 and features three floors and over 4600 sq. ft of indoor space, and more importantly, HEAPS of outdoor living space including over 1800 sq. ft. of decks and porches. New for the 2023 season is our TREEHOUSE - designed and built by the woodworking artisans at Treehugger Customs. Perched high on the point and poised for stunning views of the lake, it features fun and funky indoor and outdoor space, and sleeps up to 4. Adjacent to the house and treehouse is our PUTTING GREEN by Heritage Synthetic Turf, and you'll also find nature trails meandering throughout our property. This is the place you've been looking for to switch-off, and relax and unwind with family and friends. Close to all the conveniences (grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and the hospital) and only a 20 minute drive to Clemson.
Although we have all the modern amenities such as big screen TVs and WIFI, we encourage you to kick-it old school by putting down the phones, tablets, and computers and SLOWING DOWN! Just enjoy spending quality time with your loved ones or group. Enjoy the peace and quiet of nature surrounding you. Bring your boat, rent a boat, or use our paddle boards to paddle out to the small beaches on the island just outside the cove.
Several concrete path options take you down to a patio area next to the lake, then a few gentle steps down to the guest dock and you're in the water playing!
Thank you for considering our home and we look forward to having you join us year after year!

About the host
Hosted by mark macpherson
We live in the Charleston, SC area full time but have always wanted a place in upstate SC. When we found this large, wooded property a few years ago, we knew we had to jump on it while we could! Our plan is to build a wonderful family retreat over the coming few years, complete with this large, family home, a smaller cabin or tiny house or two, biking and hiking trails, and so much more! We have some fantastic plans in the works, so keep coming back to see us as we grow!
Why they chose this property
We love Lake Keowee and wanted some acreage where we could build a family retreat to share with our family, friends, and others.
What makes this property unique
The post and beam construction and open floorplan of our home allows for plenty of elbow room for large groups. You're also surrounded by nearly 18 acres of woods and nature AND right on Lake Keowee! Our property offers a place you can come with your family to slow down and focus on the simpler (more important!) things in life - enjoying time with friends and family.
