Tranquility at Keowee Falls South

Nestled into the lush hillside and surrounded by the breathtaking Blue Ridge mountains, this South Carolina estate is set perfectly upon the lot, angled to maximize every aspect of the encircling natural beauty. The exterior of the home carries an aged, natural elegance with its board and batten siding, cedar shaked gables and stone veneered water table. Each detail outside – from the stone retaining walls to the porte cochere, looks as though it was specifically tailored for this lot. The plethora of open-air porches capture the scenery and deliver a luxurious indoor-outdoor living space. While the timber beams and columns provide a rustic feel for this lake abode, it is the detail of the curved metal roof and abundance of steel windows that allow this residence to still feel current. The stone fireplace and painted beams provide a warmth to the interior of the home, only further emphasized by the natural colors painted throughout. Stand out details include a vaulted bedroom ceiling, incredible office built-ins, and custom cabinetry in nearly every room. Most impressive might be the perfect juxtaposition of rustic meets modern, a design aesthetic that seldom feels cohesive; yet, in this artists home, the architecture design and construction are executed flawlessly. A modern floating staircase, a jaw dropping crystal chandelier and pops of industrial style metallic lighting give this dream home a current yet relatable edge.
