Nestled between Greenville, S.C., and Asheville, N.C., amid the verdant vibrance of the Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains, The Cliffs offers a collection of seven private, luxury residential mountain and lake club communities. By the serene waters of Lake Keowee, The Cliffs at Keowee Springs has long been celebrated as a haven for those yearning to connect with nature and each other. In a world that moves at breakneck speed, this luxury residential enclave offers a pause and fresh mountain air. Now, thanks to South Street Partners’ unwavering commitment to creating community, The Cliffs at Keowee Springs is set to welcome a new era of connectivity and unprecedented elegance with its latest residential and amenity projects.
Acclaimed architectural firms Lake|Flato and Hart Howerton have crafted spaces that speak to those longing for peace, connection and the undiluted joy of nature. The completed Lake Club by Lake|Flato and the Keowee Springs Clubhouse by Hart Howerton stand as testaments to architectural mastery designed to dazzle the eye and transform how we interact with our surroundings and each other.
Lake|Flato’s Lake Club emerges as a beacon of modern lake life, embracing the natural landscape with open arms. Set against Lake Keowee’s crystalline waters and the stoic Blue Ridge Mountains, the Club beckons with its duet of swimming pools, racket courts and cozy event lawns, creating a nexus of outdoor enjoyment. Its orientation maximizes the natural gifts of sunlight and lake breezes, blending the outdoors with the indoors seamlessly, ensuring that every moment is a reminder of the surrounding beauty.
The Keowee Springs Clubhouse, designed by the acclaimed Hart Howerton, offers breathtaking views of the 18th hole of Tom Fazio’s signature golf course.
In concert with the Lake Club, Lake|Flato presents Waterscape, a visionary residential concept that redefines lakeside living. With designs that pay homage to the region’s landscape, the homes of Waterscape offer a modern reflection of lake life, merging the community through shared spaces and nature trails, encouraging gatherings and fostering an unparalleled sense of belonging.
On the other side, Hart Howerton’s Keowee Springs Clubhouse rises majestically atop a hill, gazing down upon the lush greens of Tom Fazio’s signature golf course. It’s a place of light, air and open spaces, where every room has an outdoor counterpart, and the design ethos prioritizes connectivity— between people and the environment, present and future generations. This clubhouse is more than a building; it’s a grand home for the community, offering spaces for wellness, dining and leisure, all designed to bring people together to celebrate life’s most precious moments.
The Clubhouse offers a gathering space for multi-generations to make memories.
Adjacently, Clubhouse Village invites residents into a world where architecture harmonizes with the landscape. These residences offer variances in design to suit every taste, from cozy cottages to lavish homes, all sharing the community’s ethos of connection and sustainable luxury.
The Cliffs’ suite of amenities for members includes seven clubhouses, seven nationally recognized golf courses, seven wellness centers, multiple tennis and pickle-ball complexes, a marina, a beach club, a summer camp, a lake club, an equestrian center, more than a dozen restaurants, and over 2,000 year-round programs and social activities.
In crafting these spaces, Lake|Flato and Hart Howerton have not simply designed buildings; they have set the stage for generations of memories. They have created sanctuaries where families, neighbors and nature coexist in a delicate balance, offering a refuge from the fast-paced outside world. The Cliffs at Keowee Springs is a rare sanctuary that provides the space to connect, unplug and recharge—together.
