218 Hermitage Drive

Set along the shores of Lake Keowee within the prestigious, gated community of The Cliffs at Keowee Springs, this extraordinary approximately 7,000-square-foot residence is being thoughtfully crafted as a one-of-a-kind expression of modern luxury, architecture, and connection to its surroundings. Designed by MHK Architecture and built by Haven Valley, the residence reflects an exceptional level of architectural vision and craftsmanship, with every detail conceived to celebrate its remarkable setting. Positioned on 1.11 acres with more than 171 feet of lake frontage, the home captures expansive views of Lake Keowee and the Blue Ridge Mountains from nearly every vantage point. Natural stone, warm wood, steel, and glass are layered throughout the design, while every major living space is intentionally oriented toward the lake, mountains, and surrounding landscape. Currently under construction and anticipated for completion in February 2028, the six-bedroom, six-full-bath, two-half-bath residence will also feature a three-car attached garage, residential elevator, and an exceptional collection of indoor and outdoor amenities. At the heart of the home, an open-concept kitchen, dining area, and great room flow seamlessly into the screened outdoor living spaces, creating an extraordinary setting for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. Six custom 16-foot multi-fold doors with motorized retractable screens allow the great room to open completely to the outdoors, creating a dramatic open-air living experience and blurring the boundary between interior and exterior. A high-end Miele appliance package anchors the kitchen, while the main-level outdoor living area features a fireplace, dedicated outdoor kitchen, screened porch, and balcony overlooking the lake. Above, a glass-enclosed observation library offers a truly remarkable 360-degree perspective of the lake, mountains, and surrounding treetops, while a distinctive rooftop bridge leads to an upper-level flex space ideally suited for an office, creative studio, or additional bedroom. The lower level is designed for effortless entertaining and relaxation, offering a family and entertainment room with fireplace, full bar, pool-table area, and lounge space. The bedroom plan includes a custom bunk room, creating a memorable retreat for family and guests. The primary suite elevates everyday living with a luxurious bath featuring electric radiant floor heat and a digitally controlled smart shower system. Convenience is thoughtfully incorporated throughout with three laundry areas – one on the main level, one on the lower level, and an additional dedicated laundry area within the primary closet – while a residential elevator provides seamless access throughout the home. Outside, the property becomes a private lakeside retreat of its own. A custom 368-square-foot saltwater pool features a step entry, tanning ledge, and smart controls, complemented by an elevated saltwater spa, sauna, outdoor shower, sun lounges, multiple seating areas, firepit, and custom landscaping. A private dock with a dedicated Waverunner pad and a golf-cart path lead down to the private and rare lakeside beach. A dedicated lake storage room keeps watercraft gear close at hand. From its striking architectural details and panoramic observation spaces to its resort-caliber outdoor amenities and unparalleled relationship with Lake Keowee, this is far more than a lakefront home – it is a highly curated residence conceived by MHK Architecture and brought to life by Haven Valley to make the most of one of the Upstate's most extraordinary natural settings. A club membership at The Cliffs is available for purchase with this property giving you access to all seven communities.
