Unique stand-alone condo with no units attached to either side. Quiet and private. Located in prestigious Keowee Key on Lake Keowee along the southern escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Over 18,500 acres and 300 miles of shoreline are on Lake Keowee alone. Lakes Hartwell and Joccasee adjoin Keowee. A genuine year-round retreat located mid-way between Atlanta and Charlotte, with many homeowners from the Northeast, the Midwest, and the Southeast.
The condo features an interior that is bright and airy, with premium quality furnishings throughout, including queen-size sleigh beds with pillow-top mattresses, dressers with full-size mirrors, and night stands/lamps in each bedroom. There are 2 cable TV's (19" and 27"). The living room has 2 sofas with pillows, glass tables, a wood-burning rock fireplace, an entertainment center (VCR, DVD, CD, MP3, and cassette stereo), and a sliding door onto the private porch. The dining room table seats four, and the upgraded, full-service kitchen features an eat-in bar with barstools. Rooms feature framed artwork of waterfalls, plants, and vintage mountain scenes. Condo is well-stocked with board/card games, movies, books, magazines, and local information. The shady porch has a 48" swing, wrought iron table and chairs, wind chimes, bird feeder/bath, gas grill, and adjoins the cart path and the challenging No. 2 green. Captain's Walk Villas' Pool overlooks the condo. You can park at your front door and climb only 4 steps to your mountain hide-away. Perfect for a couple or family (4 persons max.). Complimentary access is included for numerous Keowee Key activities and amenities. Additional info and details available upon request.
This mountainous area has breath-taking vistas and opportunities, and is the ancestral home of the Cherokee Indian Nation. Keowee means "place of the mulberries". Many Scot, Irish, Welsh, and German settlers came to this area. Keowee Key is both the oldest and most popular residential community development on Lake Keowee. Amenities include the Clubhouse with restaurants/bar, a challenging, newly-renovated, 18 hole championship golf course ($19 for a complete round, including a new golf cart), a fitness and racket center, indoor and outdoor pools, beaches, full-service marina, playgrounds, picnic shelters, and very affordable, well-equipped, pontoon boat rentals. Lake Keowee is especially beautiful from the water, with waterfalls and the "Blue Wall" across the northern horizon. The popular 2-5/8 mile lighted and paved lakeside trail within Keowee Key meanders around the large cove at the North Marina. Clemson, Walhalla, Seneca, Six Mile, and Central are nearby (10 miles), and Greenville (Upstate SC's largest metro) is just 45 minutes away.
A 1+ hour drive will take you to Greenville-Spartanburg (GSP) Airport, Tryon, Hendersonville, Asheville, the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and to Cherokee- which features a Harrah's casino, "Unto These Hills" outdoor theatre production, and Oconoluftee Indian Village. Maggie Valley, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Cade's Cove, Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, Whitewater Rivers (Chattooga, Nantahala, French Broad, Ocoee, etc.), Biltmore House, Foothills Trail, Bartram Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, DuPont Forest, Cherokee Scenic Foothills Highway (SC 11),Chimney Rock Park, Lake Lure, Highlands, Cashiers, and the NC and SC Botanical Gardens are all within your reach, as are 4 SC mountain parks (Oconee, Table Rock, Devil's Fork and Caesar's Head). Over 30 South Carolina waterfalls are accessible in the surrounding mountains and foothills, including Lower Whitewater Falls. Just upstream (in NC) is Upper Whitewater Falls, the largest east of the Mississippi. This spectacular sight is only 25 minutes by car (and an easy walk) from Keowee Key.
