Park your Luxury RV or Build a small stable for your trail horses to explore the Jocassee Gorges. Endless possibilities that are unheard of on Lake Keowee.
The Cove at Keowee Vineyards
A secluded 3.16 acre Lake Keowee estate lot with approximately 400 feet of shoreline, a private cove, a natural waterfall, and full ownership to the 800 foot contour.
Located inside the gates of The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards, but independent from the HOA, ARB, and club membership requirements, this property offers rare freedom, privacy, and scale. With more than 3 acres to work with, the possibilities are wide open. Build a custom lakefront estate, add guest cottages, create gardens and outdoor living spaces, or design a private retreat that complements the natural setting.
The property’s quiet cove creates a peaceful setting for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and relaxing by the water. A natural waterfall flows into the cove, adding movement, sound, and a sense of privacy that is difficult to duplicate on Lake Keowee.
Architectural plans for a luxury home have already been prepared and may convey, giving the next owner a head start. With no HOA, no ARB, no Duke Energy 804 buffer, and no mandatory club membership, the property offers a level of design flexibility rarely found on the lake.
Beyond the shoreline, the lot offers direct access to the Jim Timmerman Natural Resources Area at Jocassee Gorges, with nearby hiking, horseback riding, trout fishing, hunting, and wildlife watching. Horse Pasture Road leads to the Lake Jocassee rock wall overlook, one of the most dramatic views in the Upstate, and Lake Jocassee was recently named the country’s Best Swimming Lake by USA Today.
Across the cove, the nearby marina offers convenient access to fuel and a boat ramp.
Privacy, acreage, shoreline ownership, and rare access to one of South Carolina’s most protected natural corridors.
