For the Love of Lake Living: South Carolina’s Lake Keowee

For the Love of Lake Living: South Carolina’s Lake Keowee

That mild, spring weather turned to summer temperatures overnight – but we aren’t complaining. Whether you are a local or seasonal resident, being on the water is a plus in the south! Long, summer days are nearly here and we can’t wait! From tubing and waterskiing, to a sunset cruise on the boat, if you’re at Lake Keowee, your summer months will fly by – filled with memories.

The Retreat of a Lifetime

We recently completed a breathtaking home on a majestic mountain view lot located in The Cliffs at Lake Keowee Springs. This 8,400 square foot home serves as a retreat for a family of seven. Designed to promote gathering and a connection to its surroundings, the views and topography strongly influenced the floor plan. The kitchen, dining and living spaces are on the upper level with porches extending off either side. Large windows allow for full length views of the lake and its beauty. This home, the Mullen Residence, is one of a kind and the perfect getaway for this wonderful family.

As the head of a global construction firm myself, my expectations of Gabriel were very high.  Gabriel Builders exceeded those expectations in every facet of our project. From the moment that we met Gus and Belinda Rubio as they presented their proposal to us, to the day we moved in to our finished house, and even after, the trust and integrity of Gabriel Builders has shown through.  Gus runs his business with an extreme focus on building trust with his customers, and insisting on integrity not only from himself, but from all of the employees in his company.

To sum it up, Gabriel is definitely a builder who will deliver a high-quality, beautiful house that will take your breath away.  That quality alone sets them apart.  However, they don’t just build a house….they build long-lasting customer relationships based on trust, thoughtfulness, and integrity. That puts them in a league of their own, and we will be forever thankful to them.

Looking to Retire in the Carolinas?

We have built numerous homes on Lake Keowee over the years and it never gets old. Talk about an office with a view! The opportunity to blend the land with the home is a great challenge and each design is perfected to its surroundings. As a builder in South Carolina and western North Carolina for 34 years and one of the first preferred builders of the prestigious Cliffs Communities, we are well-versed in building on mountainous areas such as these. We have had clients from all over build in the Carolinas. Some have been local, and others have been 100’s of miles away.

There is always a level of concern when you are building your dream home “long distance”. How do you stay in touch with the progress while needing to make a number of critical decisions? The way you do it is to contract with Gabriel Builders. Throughout our project, we always knew where we stood as well as what needed to be done.

Each detail of a home comes together to create the bigger picture. We would love to assist you in selecting a lot and will gladly perform a complimentary site analysis whether you are looking to build in the Cliffs Communities or in surrounding areas of Greenville, SC and Asheville, NC.
