A truly exceptional Lake Keowee estate where extraordinary views, absolute privacy and a spectacular 2026 transformation come together in one remarkable waterfront property. Perched on a private peninsula point at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this nearly one-acre estate commands an incomparable five-mile panorama across the open waters of Lake Keowee, with a dozen islands and long-range mountain views. With more than 320 feet of shoreline and a setting so private that you cannot see the neighbors—and they cannot see you—this is a rare waterfront experience. The home has undergone a COMPLETE CUSTOM REMODEL in 2026, with virtually every element refreshed or reimagined. All bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, pool areas and finishes have been renovated, along with the decks, patios and outdoor living spaces. The result is a sophisticated Modern Mediterranean lakefront retreat that feels entirely new. Inside, expansive windows frame the lake from nearly every vantage point. The open-concept main level features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling dual-sided travertine fireplace. The completely remodeled chef’s kitchen showcases quartzite countertops, oversized island, custom cabinetry, designer lighting, beverage refrigerator and a full ZLINE appliance suite with gas range. The main-level owner’s suite is a private retreat with lake views, direct deck access, fireplace and a completely remodeled spa bath featuring dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower and custom closet. Two additional ensuite bedrooms and a private lake-view office complete the main level. The Spa Level transforms this estate into a private resort. Designed for entertaining, extended family and unforgettable weekends, it features a full bar, LED-lit wine cellar, secondary kitchen and a custom Family Bunk Room with Alpine wood accents, twin-over-queen bunk, separate king bed and ensuite bath. At the heart of the wellness experience is the completely transformed indoor pool and spa retreat, featuring an exercise pool, dramatic waterfall, hot tub and infrared sauna—all oriented toward the lake. An attached, fully heated and cooled greenhouse creates a year-round environment for cultivating fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables. The outdoor spaces have been extensively remodeled as well. More than 1,900 square feet of decks, patios and entertaining areas surround the home, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the lake. The covered lakefront deck features a built-in pizza oven, lake-facing bar seating, TV outlet and LED lighting—the perfect setting for sunset dinners and effortless entertaining. A circular golf cart path leads to the water, where a private sunbathing patio, lake steps, outdoor shower and fire pit create an extraordinary waterfront setting. The deep-water covered dock includes a boat lift, dual PWC ports, power and water. And despite the secluded setting, convenience is exceptional. Golf cart to downtown Seneca for dinner. Kayak to the marina or the Tiki Hut for a sunset margarita. Clemson is approximately 10 minutes away and Greenville approximately 45 minutes. This is not simply a renovated lake house. It is a completely reimagined Lake Keowee estate—combining an extraordinary five-mile open-water view, unmatched privacy, 320+ feet of shoreline, resort-caliber amenities and a comprehensive 2026 remodel in one of the lake’s most compelling settings.
