We acquired this property after visiting Keowee Key in 2020 and discovering all the area offers, including the amenities of an upscale country club, as well as the natural beauty of Lake Keowee and the surrounding area. Not only is Lake Keowee ranked as one of the most pristine lakes in the Southeast, but it is also just a short drive to the beauty found in the mountains, including many hiking trails and waterfalls. Gorges State Park, Caesars Head State Park, DuPont State Forest and the Pisgah National Forest are all just a short drive. Unlike many other man made lakes, trees were removed before the lake was filled eliminating this as a boating hazard. Duke Energy maintains the water level on a much more consistent basis than some of the nearby Corp of Engineer lakes. Don't forget the must see downtown Greenville, SC area which is within an hour drive.
Keowee Key is a gated community featuring a George Cobb 18 - Hole Championship Golf Course and many other amenities, including:
Leisure Trail- 2 1/2 mile flat, picturesque walk/jog around the lake. Sandy beach, picnic shelter, shuffleboard, boat docks.
The Club - Affordable fine dining restaurant or casual bar - 5 mins. away. Dine in or request a meal 'to go.'
Fitness Center with Jr. Olympic size pool, racquetball, weights, whirlpool, sauna, aerobics, yoga.
Swim - New, saltwater outdoor pool within walking distance
Tennis - 10 courts - clay type, Omni synthetic & hard court surfaces
Five Marinas - pontoon boat, kayak, canoe rentals; there are three "temporary" slips available for rent on a first-come basis, the rental rate is $150 per week
Security - 24 hr; manned at gates
Shopping, restaurants, bars - 15 mins away in Seneca or Clemson
Note some of these amenities are fee based.
No matter what time of year you plan to visit the climate is mild - four-seasons suitable for year-round outdoor activities: fishing, hiking, boating. This is the place for you whether you want to relax in the solitude of this condo or participate in the many amenities and activities offered at Keowee Key. Also, don't forget the football games at Clemson Death Valley, which is just a short drive away.
If you like pickleball, there are 8 great courts at the Fitness and Racquet Center. There is open Social Play at 8 AM in the warm months and 9 AM in the cooler months. There are often open courts available, but be aware that courts can be reserved by members as well.
