Grand views of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and over 30 miles of shoreline on the majestic Lake Keowee set the stage for this exquisite 3,900 acre private waterfront community.

In these quiet hills, along our picturesque shores, awaits your best life. Few corners of the world are as untouched and lush as Lake Keowee—even fewer are as inviting to live, to play, and to enjoy. The Reserve is where families and friends come together and where generations bond.

Established by Greenwood Communities and Resorts in 2000, The Reserve at Lake Keowee is a private waterfront golf community which sits along the shores of one of the most impressive lakes in the Southeast. Boasting over 18,000 acres of clean waters and some 300 miles of coastline, Lake Keowee is a wide bodied, picturesque lake encapsulated by the expansive foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was designed to harness the lake’s natural beauty and resources in order to create the ultimate setting for the sports enthusiast and outdoor adventurer. For this reason, The Reserve is the ideal community for golfing, boating, fishing, water skiing, swimming, hiking, and exploring . There’s truly something for everyone.
