The home is located on Lake Keowee in South Carolina off Highway 188 on Maughan Trail, approximately six miles from the town of Seneca and only 16 miles from Clemson University.
This beautiful 6,000 square-foot lakefront home was built and decorated by a grandmother with the goal of having a vacation home large enough for her six children and fourteen grandchildren to enjoy together. All of the bedrooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated.
The gourmet kitchen was built for a CHEF, including a nine foot island with a prep-sink, double oven, a five burner gas cook top, and a pasta faucet. The dining room has 2 large circular tables. Each table has a lazy Susan and can seet 8 to 10, plus there is counter seating for four. There is a small wet bar. The spacious deck has two picnic tables for enjoying lunch outdoors in wet bathing suits.
A fixed, covered wooden dock with attached gazebo overlooking the lake and three undeveloped islands, offering peaceful serenity. In addition to a swing, the dock has a water hose and power is available. The 18,000 acres of water and a 300-mile shoreline make Lake Keowee a popular place for boating, fishing, water-skiing, swimming, camping and picnicing. There is a public boat ramp a few minutes away, so you are welcome to bring your boat and leave it at our dock. The house also has two kayaks to explore the pristine lake with all of its natural beauty.
The backyard has a level playing area with room for volleyball, three-legged races and other activities for the children. Large hammock for watching the late night stars. Below the level playing area, the backyard gently slopes down to the lake. The driveway has ample space for eight cars. Downstairs has a children’s playroom filled with toys and a separate family room so the adults can enjoy the peaceful upstairs living room. There is a separate card room for the adults. Wireless internet access is available, so bring your lap top to stay connected.
