About 205 Turtlehead Dr

Do you enjoy a 30 minute drive to the grocery store to give you time to ponder or listen to your favorite audible book? Would you enjoy wildlife surprises in your backyard because you live in a community in the woods on Lake Keowee? Is having access to a nearby Lake Keowee boat launch and storage access important, but you prefer not to pay the price of a waterfront home or home with a deeded boat slip? If so, then 205 Turtlehead Drive might be the home for you! You must see this place to appreciate just how beautiful it is! This is a craftsman-style home located in a private, wooded setting inside a gated Lake Keowee community. The Turtlehead community offers its own boat launch, dock, outdoor swimming pool, clubhouse, new gate system, a new boat storage area, and trash service. As a bonus, short-term rentals are now allowed! A dining room to the right of the entrance has tray ceilings, and white wooden blinds can also be found in most of the other main rooms. An office space on the left of the entrance has French doors for work privacy. The dining room has an awesome round, wooden table and chairs that fit perfectly. The great room has a gray stacked stone gas log fireplace and large glass doors that overlook the concrete patio, large river rock fire pit & grill in the private back yard where the owner often sees deer, watches the birds at the feeders, and listens to the wind chimes tinkling in the breeze. The front yard is planted with hundreds of spring bulbs for early blooming season and theres a hammock next to the flower beds to lie down and enjoy the scenery. A breakfast nook and seating area, next to the gorgeous kitchen also overlooks the back yard. The kitchen has granite counter tops, dark brown cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, and heated tile floors. A rebuilt, sturdier screened-in porch allows you to enjoy the outdoor weather without the pesky mosquitos. The porch leads out to a new adjoining patio that sits above a storage/bunker room area. The laundry room is on the main level with generous amounts of cabinetry for storage. The large ensuite master bedroom has tray ceilings, wooden shutters, a generously sized walk-in closet, and a free-standing garden tub that is the focal point of this room. This bathroom also has double sinks with cultured marble vanity tops, a tiled shower, and thermostatically controlled heated tile floors for those chilly mornings. The upstairs has two flex spaces. One large room is currently being used as a mini movie theatre and the other one is being used for exercise equipment. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are also located on the second level. There is LED canister lighting throughout the home, a whole house Pelican Water Purification System, and an eight-zone sprinkler system outdoors. The hand scraped hardwood floors are beautiful and sturdy looking. This home sits on a crawl space. Home is wired for a generator. It has thermal pane casement windows and doors. One of the HVAC units was new in 2023. Secure boat storage area available for rent. If you love nature and the outdoors, you’ll love this location on the North end of Lake Keowee that is also so close to Devils Fork State Park on Lake Jocassee. Oconee County has waterfalls, rivers and many hiking trails to enjoy. You are also short day trips away from Charlotte, Asheville, Highlands and Cashiers, NC, or Athens, Commerce, and Atlanta, GA, or Greenville, SC and the GSP airport. Don’t let this like-new home get away! If you have seen this home before, come back and see the fully completed projects! Contact for details about seeing this home.
