Does living the lake house lifestyle and reveling in tranquil, vivid Lake Keowee sunsets from your very own backyard sound like a dream come true?
For many people, buying or building a home overlooking the famously clear, sparkling waters of Keowee would be heaven on earth. But the search for the perfect lake house property can be daunting—especially if you’re not sure where to start looking. Lake Keowee is actually the 2nd largest lakefront real estate market in the entire state of South Carolina.
Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, a vacation home, or an investment property, we offer an array of Lake Keowee real estate listings that will exceed your expectations—from master-planned communities to luxury lakefront estates, to golf course homes and condos.
Communities of Lake Keowee
Upscale lakeside communities like The Cliffs at Keowee Springs, The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards, Keowee Key, and The Reserve at Lake Keowee offer homeowners an array of top-notch recreation like golf, tennis, hiking and more—in addition to incredible lake and mountain views. Not to mention all of the water-based recreation available, including but not limited to:
- Swimming
- Fishing
- Boating
- Kayaking
- Stand-up Paddleboarding
- Water Skiing
We’ve written extensively about the gorgeous scenery in this area—from the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the area’s over 100 waterfalls, to the crystal clear, blue-green waters of Lake Keowee itself.
Plus, these communities are just a short drive from world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment in nearby cities like Greenville and Asheville. And with Atlanta and Charlotte both only about 2 hours away, lake living on Keowee is the perfect blend of peace and convenience. It’s no wonder Lake Keowee real estate is in such high demand.
The shortage of available Lake Keowee homes for sale in the last couple years has been well documented in local press. As The Greenville Post and Courier reported in early 2021, “even some lots can run into six figures.” That was during the earlier days of the pandemic, of course, but even now there is still very high demand for Lake Keowee real estate, especially lakefront homes.
After all, while Lake Keowee boasts about 300 miles of shoreline, there’s still a finite amount of shore available—and not all of that shore is available for development.
However, that makes any Lake Keowee homes that are on the market even more special.
You don’t have to be a millionaire to own a Lake Keowee home, but you will find many multimillion-dollar estates located on and around its shores. While many of the houses here are priced in the millions, it’s still very possible to own your own little piece of Keowee paradise for under $1 million.

It’s understandable; the Keowee lifestyle is hard to beat!
With its gorgeous scenery, mild climate, and ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, it’s no wonder that so many people are drawn here to the area. So, if you’re thinking of making a move to Lake Keowee, don’t wait—the time is now.
