140 Long Ridge RD Sunset, SC 29685

In the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Reserve at Lake Keowee is a master-planned community with over $100 million in amenities. Located within this 3,900-acre natural oasis is 140 Long Ridge Rd. This prime site overlooks the 12th green of the Reserve's Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course & is close to Keowee Ave for convenient access to Clemson. However, the 1.27-acre property is positioned amid mature pines that provide the utmost privacy for this Garrell Assoc. home, which blends classic craftsman style with unforgettably unique details.
Natural stone, Hardie board shake siding, & faux slate roofing establish elegance while also making for a low-maintenance dwelling! The Zoysia grass complements the impeccable course, while magnolias, Chinese cherry trees, & azaleas characterize an inviting Southern lawn.
Thoughtful design is immediately evident as you cross the flagstone front porch w/its dry stack stonework & see the beveled glass windows & doors that brighten the entrance. Inside, an expansive open floor plan is cleverly divided by elegant dark wooden columns. The great room features a stone fireplace with a raised hearth & striking windows meant to show both the beauty of the room & the view beyond it. The real star of this living space may just keep you looking up. The 10-foot, wood-planked cathedral ceiling is a wonder in & of itself, but the architecture of its intricate beams makes it a work of art.
Amid all the stunning & creative woodwork, you'll find a subtle—but most suitable spot for entertainment on the main floor. The cabinetry & ample island are colored in refreshing pops of white & mint green in the eat-in kitchen, which opens to another dining area where you can start or wind down your day against the backdrop of a beautiful bay window. The chef's kitchen features GE's ultra-premium brand of Monogram appliances including a four-burner gas cooktop w/griddle, a built-in wall oven, & an Advantium microwave/convection oven.
The main level features the master suite, along with 2 additional bedrooms. Heart of pine floors flow through that level, & the master bedroom is characterized by a tray ceiling & seamless access to outdoor seating areas. The screened-in porch offers a built-in gas grill & wall-mounted TV for outdoor enjoyment, leading to a gracefully curved, open Trex deck w/a storied view of the 12th hole.
Back inside, the master bath has a striking but soothing spa-like layout with a generous, jetted tub in the center. The tub bisects the ample walk-in shower with Travertine tile & heated floors. Sinks traverse both sides of the room, & there are 2 closets with custom shelving systems. A barrel-vaulted ceiling caps this enviable space.
An open stairwell leads to the downstairs where rich hardwoods have recently been added. There, you'll find 2 additional bedrooms connected by a shared bathroom, along with a spacious den, & an exercise room with rubber flooring and mirrored walls. An elegant bar wraps around the kitchenette, which features dark-stained cabinets, a wine refrigerator, a microwave/convection oven, & a dishwasher. This space offers plenty of storage as well as room for game tables.
The exterior doors open to another curved flagstone patio that is flush with the home's lush backyard. The covered terrace leads to a picture-perfect entertainment zone, complete with a stone fire pit, comfortable seating, & low-voltage landscape lighting. A golf cart garage & path behind the home provide convenient access to neighbors and community amenities.
Additional features include a whole house generator, updated whole home/dual AV system, a Nest Learning Thermostat™, & a raised dog bath for your canine family members.
