Property Description
The Point at Keowee Vineyards.
A Private Peninsula with Natural Beach, Approx. 325 Feet of Shoreline, and Full Ownership Above 800'.
It is almost unheard of to find a Lake Keowee property with full ownership to the 800' contour. Nearly all lakefront parcels fall under Duke Energy control from 800' to 804', limiting how land can be used. This 1-acre point lot is a rare exception, offering approximately 325 feet of shoreline and complete design freedom — no Duke Energy restrictions, no HOA, no ARB, and no club membership requirements.
Located within the gates of The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards but exempt from community control, this property allows you to build freely without ARB review, create terraces, fire features, or enhance the landscape without regulatory interference. A dock permit application is submitted, and the gentle slope makes it ideal for a custom lakefront estate with sweeping open-water views. Architectural plans for the homesite have already been prepared and can convey with the property, offering a head start on your vision.
One of the most exceptional features of this lot is its natural beach, located fully above the 800' elevation. Unlike most Keowee beaches — which lie within the regulated Duke setback and are accessible by public boat traffic — this beach is privately owned, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy the exclusive shoreline for recreation and relaxation.
Beyond the shoreline, this lot offers something truly rare: direct exclusive access to the Jim Timmerman Natural Resources Area at Jocassee Gorges — named one of National Geographic's “50 of the World's Last Great Places.” This vast expanse of protected public land is perfect for hiking, trout fishing, hunting, and wildlife watching. The area is home to black bear, wild turkey, native brook trout, and countless native species, including regular sightings of bald eagles. And just minutes from the homesite, the Horse Pasture Road shortcut leads to the top of the Lake Jocassee rock wall, a dramatic overlook with one of the most awe-inspiring panoramic views in the Upstate.
The lake itself is equally remarkable — Lake Jocassee was recently named the country's Best Swimming Lake by USA Today, adding even more value to this property's rare proximity to some of the region's most celebrated natural beauty.
Across the water, the nearby marina provides access to fuel and a boat ramp, offering everyday convenience without sacrificing seclusion.
Whether you're building a lakefront retreat, short-term rental, or generational estate, The Point at Keowee Vineyards delivers unmatched freedom, access, and privacy in one of the most exclusive corners of the lake.
