You’ve heard the buzz. You’ve made your decision. It’s time to find a Lake Keowee home builder to make your dreams a reality. Choosing the right custom home builder is the key to building a home that stands the test of time. Homes built on Lake Keowee become legacy homes where memories are made and families are raised.
Why Build On Lake Keowee?
Lake Keowee is well known for its emerald blue waters and Blue Ridge Mountain views. Located in both Pickens and Oconee Counties in South Carolina, Lake Keowee is a true mountain lake. The lake is a man-made reservoir created for Duke Energy’s use and for local recreation, and is fed by Lake Jocassee, a nearby mountain-fed reservoir. Lake Keowee is made up of over 300 miles of shoreline and measures 18,000 acres in size. The cool, blue waters of Lake Keowee are a welcome reprieve from the summer heat.
Lake Keowee’s location and temperate, four-season climate make it an ideal getaway for a second home. Many Lake Keowee vacationers decide to move here, especially following the pandemic and expanded remote work possibilities. As you consider your Lake Keowee home builder, consider which area of Lake Keowee you’ll build in. Lake Keowee is located less than an hour from popular, charming Greenville, South Carolina. Twenty minutes from Lake Keowee you’ll find Seneca and Clemson, two South Carolina towns that Clemson University calls home. While Lake Keowee is a quiet getaway, its proximity to Upstate South Carolina towns and cities makes it ideal for primary or second home living. Greenville / Spartanburg International Airport is located just over an hour from Lake Keowee and provides domestic and international service to virtually any destination in the world.
Morgan-Keefe Builders has built luxury custom homes in this area for decades. Our commitment to quality and open communication with our clients is unwavering. We have built many second or third homes for clients who live far from the build site and we strive to ensure our build process puts them at ease. As our founder Malcolm Morgan has said, “We try to approach every project as if we’re going to live there.”
Where To Build On Lake Keowee
Lake Keowee’s size and location mean you can choose from lakefront, lake view, elevated mountain view, or secluded wooded lots to build your Lake Keowee home. There are many established developments to choose from and there are always new opportunities to build as time passes. Lake Keowee home builders have focused on lower-density, single-family homes, which has preserved the beauty and privacy of the lake. Despite the limited inventory market Upstate South Carolina is experiencing, you can still find the perfect place to build your Lake Keowee home.
Morgan-Keefe Builders is proud to be a Preferred Builder for the Cliffs Communities. The Cliffs Communities feature three developments located on the shores and land around Lake Keowee. The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards is appropriately named for the muscadine vineyards that wind through the community. If you’re unfamiliar with muscadines, don’t miss a chance to taste local muscadine wine, a sweet South Carolina treat, when you’re in the area.
The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards features a full-service marina complete with boat storage, rentals, and a community pool. Tee it up on the community’s 18 hole Tom Fazio designed course. Celebrate your round at The Lakehouse, the Cliff’s Vineyard’s full service restaurant boasting water and mountain views. If you decide to build in The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards you won’t have to leave your love for horses behind. The community features equestrian facilities and riding trails for members and residents.
The Cliffs at Keowee Falls
The Cliffs at Keowee Falls features twenty miles of lake shoreline exclusive to residents and wellness opportunities that rival any resort. Play the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature course, regarded as the most challenging Cliffs Communities course. Unwind, exercise, and exhale at the Wellness Center at the Park. There, you’ll find pools, fitness, spa services, tennis and pickleball. When you build your Morgan-Keefe work of art home on Lake Keowee, there will be some nights you simply don’t want to cook. Spend those nights dining at Keowee Falls and recounting the Oconee Bell spottings from the day’s nature walk.
The Cliffs at Keowee Springs
The Cliffs at Keowee Springs may be the perfect spot for your Morgan-Keefe work of art home on Lake Keowee. Keowee Springs boasts a welcoming family atmosphere and best of all, FUN amenities! The Cliffs at Keowee Springs Beach Club is a hot spot for adults and children alike. Park your boat and enjoy a drink by the water at the Grille. The kids won’t mind how long you enjoy the view from the Keowee Springs Beach Club. They’ll be having the time of their lives racing down the water slides. There’s even a paddle boat and kayak launch area if you care to ditch the motor for a day on the lake. Golf enthusiasts will always find a course worth their time at The Cliffs Communities and Keowee Springs is no exception. The Tom Fazio-designed course features family tees and holes designed to challenge even the most experienced golfer.
The Reserve at Lake Keowee
The Reserve at Lake Keowee is an established community located on the east side of the lake, approximately 20 minutes from Clemson and Seneca. The community features a lakefront village complete with a market and post office. Pick up lunch for a day on the boat and send postcards sharing the beauty of Upstate South Carolina to all your family and friends. The Reserve’s family-friendly amenities seem endless.
