Sunset, South Carolina, Pickens County, 29685

Situated in a quiet cove, set back from the road on a private paver path drive, this custom Mill Creek Post & Beam home offers a refined waterfront retreat in The Reserve at Lake Keowee. Designed with the Mirror Lake plan, the home welcomes you with a dramatic two-story foyer and a great room anchored by a soaring stone fireplace. This property was further elevated when the seller purchased the adjoining waterfront parcel, creating a rare 2.24 acre retreat featuring 370 feet of shoreline and remarkable privacy. A loft overlooks walls of windows framing lake views, while the open layout provides both comfort and generous living space. The chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry connects seamlessly to the breakfast area and formal dining room. The main level also includes a spacious primary suite, private office or additional bedroom, and an additional guest suite. Two levels of lake-view porches, finished with flagstone and Ipe, feature a fireplace and built-in grilling station—perfect for year-round entertaining. The craftsmanship is showcased in exposed Douglas Fir beams and high-end finishes throughout, including granite, tile, wrought iron, hardwoods, and knotty alder doors. There is a separate entrance above the garage, yet connected, with a family-friendly guest suite which includes a private bedroom, ensuite bath, adjoining bunk and sitting area, plus a handy coffee bar. The walk-out lower level was designed for recreation and gatherings, offering a large game/rec room, stone fireplace, full bar, second kitchen, two ensuite bedrooms, and abundant storage for wine, hobbies, and lake gear. Built by Snyder Corporation, the residence emphasizes carefree living: a DaVinci polymer roof with lifetime warranty, three HVAC zones, drip irrigation pumped directly from the lake, natural low-maintenance landscaping, and board-and-batten siding. A paver walkway leads to the dock equipped with lift, lighting, storage, water, and jet ski port. A whole-house sound system with cameras provides remote monitoring, while a three-car garage and spacious motor court ensure ample parking. In 2020, the landscape was completely restored to better connect the family to the lake, amplify native species, and celebrate traditions of the southern garden. The house, nestled in a native woodland, has a network of paths connecting to the lake, vegetable garden, blueberry patch and grove. The lawn, connected to the lower terrace with wonderful views of the lake is designed for entertaining and large gatherings.
