About This Home

As of July 2016

The Retreat enclave is located just a short walk or golf cart ride from the lakeside gazebo as well as boat slips that can be leased on an annual basis. It is as close to the impressive Keowee Falls clubhouse and the new $3m Sports, Activity and Wellness Park as one can be -- walk or ride your golf cart. It's the only 4 bedroom Retreat cottage in this price range. Superior in design, this floor plan boasts four bedrooms; the master and one other offering private baths, another with direct bath access from the room and the 4th (a bunk room) with access from the hall.

Inviting Kitchen (12x13), opens to the living space, and is well equipped with high end appliances, impressive granite counters and knotty alder doors and cabinetry.
