...and The Reserve has added the finest amenities. 

Community planners envision a family oriented community in the pristine and private 3900 acre private gated community with 30 miles of Lake Keowee shoreline. A place that hearkens back to the neighborhoods of days gone by where folks were friendly and neighbors gathered at the village. A place where parents, grandparents and children share a common ground in a lifestyle rich in the legacy of the land. A place where the outdoors could be enjoyed freely in a lifestyle that would be handed down from generation to generation. Presently, a village is emerging that is the heart of this prestigious community.  It is a place to gather and to play.  Here you will discover the clubhouse, the Pool and Racquet Club, croquet on the Great Lawn, and a Nicklaus Signature golf course.  In the future, you will find a marina, residents’ club, chapel and general store.

The Village is the heart and pulse of the community.  It unifies the family-oriented community in many ways.  Here, neighbor meets neighbor on their way to coffee or to get their mail. Your children will delight in the open spaces, their own pool, and the sparkling waters of Lake Keowee beckons everyone to its shores.  This is the starting point for adventures and memories.  On one side of the Village stands the Orchard House, Nicklaus Signature golf course, interim fitness center, and croquet lawn; on the other end stands the lake, Pool Pavilion, and upcoming Village center.  In between is the Great Lawn that is the place to bring your children to fly a kite, spread a blanket for a Summer picnic, or gather for a concert under the stars.

Jack Nicklaus has woven each link through the amazing natural tapestry of the Blue Ridge terrain to create a course that is both challenging and enjoyable for golfers of all levels.  Mild winters ensure you’ll enjoy year-round golf, and the over-sized practice facilities, including a double-ended driving range, short game area and putting green, let you take your game to the next level.

Upon entering the Craftsman-styled 20,000 square feet Orchard House, one feels as if they are stepping back in time to a world of wide verandas, porches and comfortable rocking chairs. Cozy fireplaces inside and out. Gracious rooms where exposed brick, heart pine floors and oriental rugs lend an air of casual elegance.  Memorable meals areservedonthe back porch and overlooking the Great Lawn. It is a place where you can experience the sunrise and sunset and watch the lake and mountains go on seemingly forever. It is a comfortable and welcoming environment where members gather to dine, to have a cocktail, and to feel perfectly at home.

Dining is a wonderful experience!  Discover a delightful setting and menu for every occasion, be it casual, upscale, family filled, or dinner for two. The varied menu features New South cuisine, grille favorites and European delights. Whether your preference is fine wine, or English ale, it is waiting here for you.  In addition, the golf clubhouse is convienantly located here and features pro shop and men's and women's locker rooms.

The joyous laughter of children splashing in the interactive water playground and adults lounging around the poolside is fun for everyone. Children love the pool with its zero entry and special grottos with fun water features, while adults gather around the larger pool complete with fountains and Jacuzzi.  With plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas, spacious and well appointed locker rooms, and a poolside grille complete with grand stone fireplace and picnic tables. It is the perfect spot for the entire family to spend an afternoon by the lake.

Within a radius of 75 miles, there are a million protected acres of forest! Presently there are 5.5 miles of trails within the community and more to come. Your family will be exploring the paths once walked by the Cherokee Indians and look for over 75 different varieties of birds and marvel at the waterfall as it cascades into the lake. This is land to be enjoyed both now and forever.  Over 400 acres at the Reserve have been placed in a perpetual conservation easement to preserve natural habitat for flora, fauna and wildlife.  At the headwaters of four rivers and the home to countless waterfalls, this area is a bit of paradise.  So special is this area that it is one of only two places in the world where the wild Oconee Bell flower grows.
