Custom House Plans for Your Lake Keowee Home Developed by:
Are you thinking of building a custom home on or near Lake Keowee? We have several excellent custom home builders in our area. They have built homes for many of our clients so we feel confident in recommending them. We work very closely with them to help determine which land is right for you and your new home. Together we will walk your potential land and will examine the topography which will determine the location of home site, placement of the driveway and septic. It is important to us that you have a, “fine building experience.” Please call us at 864.238.3176 or use our VIP Property Search form.
We understand that your time is valuable. One of our goals is to not only have you enjoy your trip here, but to make your time with us quality time. “Let your fingers do the walking!” Have you ever wanted to find out how steep a lot is before you go and see it in person? That information is available on County web sites. Often, a low price for a lot looks like a steal. Beware that this is usually done to compensate for the expensive foundation you will need because of steepness or a gully! Remember, this is a mountain lake with communities built on the tops and slopes of mountains and hills. Most counties now have a GIS (Geographic Information System) that allows you to see the topography of a lot. Learn how to use that system on our Using County Topo Maps page. Please keep in mind that we are more than happy do this for you. Many people, though, enjoy learning and doing this as part of their due diligence.

Tips for Buying Lake Keowee Land
(A builder can help with all of this)
- Green water at the shoreline is deep; red or peach color is shallow. A permit or dock in place does not guarantee deep water. Duke doesn't consider depth when granting permits.
- A dock contractor can tell you if you are likely to get a permit from Duke for the dock you want.
- Steeper land means a more expensive foundation.
- Account for setbacks to be sure your house will fit. Counties have minimums but subdivisions may set their own! Our Lakefront Community pages have covenants, slideshows and videos, maps, plats, amenities and property searches.
- Most communities require Architectural Control Committee review of plans. We're sure you would agree that this protects your investment.
- Review the Duke Energy Shoreline Management Guidelines and Vegetative Buffer rules on our Lake Gallery page.

“I would like to take a moment to recommend Carol and Doug to anyone selling or buying a home in the Lake Keowee area.
