The 1.63 acre lot almost 500 feet of Lake Keowee shoreline, edged with a thick post-tension concrete seawall.

Only the finest materials were used in the construction of this stunning home, completed in 1994. The shake shingle roof, installed on the top 2 levels, consists of Decra stone-coated steel material. - This home was designed to ensure low maintenance and long-lasting beauty. The owner/builder, Alan Gates, specifically situated the layout to maximize the daylight, and you don't even realize you are underground.
The temperature remains 60 degrees in the winter season. This 4 level post-tension concrete earth-sheltered home comes with a covered Olympic length pool, serving as the lower level. An 800 square foot recreation room occupies part of the second level. A full mother-in-law suite with kitchen, handicap accessible tile shower, laundry room & stunning lake views from two bay windows complete the top level.

The entranceway reveals a gorgeous staircase that leads up to the mother-in-law suite and down to the second level recreation room. The staircase is flanked by stacked river rock and flat stone with wooden rails & leads further down to the main living level underground. The view from the staircase of the landscaped terrace and the lake beyond is surreal.

Custom cabinets, built-in bookcases, wooden accent walls & floors fashioned from heart pine, mahogany, acacia & golden oak appear in every room. Polished jewel-toned concrete floors deliver unique character as well as effortless care.

Granite countertops abound throughout in bathrooms & kitchens. The grand banquet size dining room, off of the main kitchen, features mahogany bookcases & carved wooden doors. Light pours through wall to wall picture windows with big lake views in the great room, kitchen, & master suite.
