312 Eagles Bend Trl, Salem, SC 29676

Perched above pristine Lake Keowee, 312 Eagles Bend Trail is a trifecta of lake living perfection: a protected cove that offers long views, a polished yet comfortably designed home, and outdoor spaces that allow for year-round entertaining. From the initial turn into the drive, the vista takes in the lake's northern channel and Jocassee Gorges foothills beyond. The home instantly impresses with a tall arched stone entry, and, inside, the foyer continues this motif with arched openings to spacious living areas. In the great room, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace is bordered by French doors to a lakefront porch. Earthy materials like the vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling and wide-plank oak flooring complement the natural setting. Past a central dining area, the kitchen is built for gourmets and gatherings. The current owners have assembled up to 20 guests around the broad central island, which is surrounded by high-performing Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances (including double ovens). But the real star of the kitchen is a nine-foot-tall window wall that ensures every square foot is front row to the stellar view. Just off the kitchen, a covered porch with retractable screens provides a lofty spot for observing the home's surroundings. A wood-burning stone fireplace and kitchen nook furnished with Viking grill and beverage cooler expand options for outdoor enjoyment. The main-level master is a lovely retreat with tray ceiling and porch access, and, in the en suite, an indulgent curved shower with multiple heads and body spray system. Stairs near the foyer descend to a family room with the home's third stone fireplace. This space is prepped for parties: a corner bar kitchenette is equipped with a beverage cooler, icemaker, and dishwasher drawer, while, tucked behind a stone wall and iron door, a temperature-controlled wine room holds 600+ bottles. An adjacent office/game room is handsomely outfitted with a coffered ceiling and built-in shelving and desk. Two lower-level bedroom suites have water views. Thoughtfully designed for lake living, a large room with double doors to the outside is serviced by an adjacent full bath, making for easy cleanup after fun-in-the-sun days. The lower-level covered porch includes a multi-person hot tub. A short breezeway connects the main house to the garage. Above the garage is an outsized bunkroom that sleeps six, as well as a full bath. Behind the home, stone steps lead to a cozy lakeside patio and the covered dock, where WiFi, security cameras, lights, and Sonos speakers bring creature comforts to the shoreline. Eagles Bend Trail is located in The Cliffs at Keowee Falls, a gated waterfront community with a full suite of country-club amenities, including Nicklaus signature golf course, clubhouse with multiple dining venues, staffed wellness center, resort-style pool, tennis complex, miles of walking trails, and more. Local towns, the city of Greenville, and Clemson University are minutes away.
