This home is the best buy at the North End of gorgeous Lake Keowee. Enter through the 'Cliffs Falls North' guarded gate on Hwy 11, between Hwy 130 and Hwy 133. Drive through the Cliffs to their back gate, and then into "Keowee Bay's" private gate, (into a private, gated community within another private, gated community. It doesn't get any more secure than this!
As a "For Sale by Owner", we have removed the Realtors Fee, and offered that savings to you, (the buyer), to make it an amazing purchase price, for a private gated community, 2000 sf home on .90 acre, with a deeded boat-slip included. The house appraises much, much higher then our asking price of $275,000, and has 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 living areas, a separate dining room off the kitchen, a private office and totally enclosed laundry room. There are both screened and open back decks and a large porch. Many houses in this same neighborhood are listed in the million dollar range.

What you ask is the catch? No, it is not falling apart, it looks brand-new! It has separate heating and air for each floor, is beautifully landscaped, extremely quiet and energy efficient and all the appliances are included.

It's biggest obstacle is; that it looks like a small house from the front view, then once inside, it surprises the heck out of you. It is all about the depth of the house and the fact that it is three stories tall. It is very deceptive from the outside.

Here is the way the floors are laid out.....

Two bedrooms and a bath, with a large office, family room, and a separate laundry room, occupy the 'walk-out' basement, which has it's own gorgeous large hardwood deck, that looks at beautiful trees in the summer, and mountain views and a stocked fishing lake below, in the winter.

From the back it is totally secluded and doesn't even see another house. The office could make it a five bedroom house if you preferred. Making it a terrific vacation home for lots of company or a large family.

The main-floor has a 2 story vaulted, stone fire-place in the living area, the kitchen, a dining room, and a master bedroom, with it's private bath in a master suite foyer, and on this floor there is a screened in porch, that has a gorgeous view like the wood deck below, plus a large front porch for rocking and watching the sunset. Finally the loft is another bedroom and 3/4 bath.

Although the home is 9 years old, an Interior Decorator just totally remodeled it. It has all new carpet and paint throughout, with hardwood floors, and the decks (back and front) were just re-stained too. So now it looks like it is a new inside and out.

This is an amazing house in a double gated community of only about 50 houses, of which, only about 15 homes, are year round residences. You couldn't ask for more privacy and safety in a neighborhood.

The marina and golf courses of the Cliffs, offers its memberships, to Keowee Bay, (a choice to join if you would like to), but not mandatory. Keowee Bay is 'with-in' its gate, but a separate entity. "It makes it very nice, to have all of the benefits, but none of the costs, unless you choose them". 'Keowee Bay' fees are only $900 a year which includes garbage, water,and dock fees.

Please feel free to call us for a private showing, or with any questions at all.

Consider it for a full-time home, or as a vacation home to share with friends and family. It could be bought with other couples as a timeshare type home.

"Just a thought you might 'play with' in your head!

26 weeks each, breaks that price in half to; $137,500, or 13 weeks each, divides it into quarters making it $68,750 each share for a house by the lake!

This really is an amazing find, in a prestigous neighborhood, on the prettiest end of Lake Keowee.
Salem is very close to Jocassee Lake, Highlands and Cashiers too.

The Cliffs has it's has it's own shopping center on Highway 11, (with groceries, hardware, etc.) right outside the Cliffs gates, a minute from the house in Keowee Bay. It is all new and very convenient.
Asheville, NC, Atlanta, GA, and Charlotte and Greenville, SC are all very close.

Salem, SC is a breath-taking resort area, close to everywhere else, but a totally pristine lake and mountain community in and of itself.
Please feel free to call with any questions. This house is an amazing find. To see it is to love it, and at a price you can afford.
