About Lake Keowee
Just 45 minutes west of Greenville, S.C., and two hours from Atlanta, Lake
Keowee beckons you with tree-lined shores and the splendor of the
surrounding mountain range reflecting in its waters. Ideal for a primary home
or a weekend retreat, Lake Keowee enchants its visitors with mild seasons and
an easy pace of life.
The lake's clear blue water comes out of the mountains and is so pure it
furnishes the drinking water in our area. We work very hard to make sure this
lake stays clean and doesn't get polluted.
When you visit Lake Keowee, you'll be pleased to see how peaceful the lake is.
Approximately 3/4ths of the shoreline has never been developed. Lake Keowee
is great for boating and the fishing is outstanding. With 18,500 acres and 390 +
miles of shoreline, it provides an endless selection of bays and channels for
boating and exploring.
If you're looking for bright lights and resort type entertainment, this probably
isn't for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a quiet, relaxed part or
full time lifestyle in beautiful surroundings, we invite you to come by and
have a look.
Lake Keowee is the choice of quality conscious people in the upstate of South
Carolina, and for this reason sales are strong and our property just keeps going
up in value. If you are serious about buying a home or home site on a
spectacular lake that is still affordable please give me a call today at 864-9442135.
LAKE HOMES REALTY, LLC
WEATHER AT LAKE KEOWEE
Weather plays a big factor in the appeal of the Lake Keowee area. Each of the four
distinct seasons has its own allure.
Springtime (which starts in late February in the upstate) provides a breath taking display
of daffodils, tulips, native dogwoods, wild and cultured azaleas, rhododendrons, mountain
laurel and more. By April the lake water is warm enough for swimming.
Summers are generally mild with comfortable humidity and provide lots of opportunities
for swimming, water skiing and the like. Many flowers bloom in the summer and, of
special note, are the beautiful long-blooming crepe myrtles.
Fall brings a gorgeous change of foliage. The weather is still warm enough for short
sleeve shirts and even a dip in the lake. And of course fall means Clemson football and
tailgate parties!
Winters are mild and still provide lots of opportunities for outdoor activities including
boating, fishing, hiking, golfing, and tennis. As the trees shed their leaves, winter affords
even more spectacular lake and mountain views.

Example of South Carolina Tax Calculations
ON LAND AND SECONDARY HOME
The assessor will assign a Market Value to your home or land.
Multiply the assessor’s Market Value by 6% = Assessed Value
Multiply the Assessed Value by the 2013 Oconee County mil rate that is 229.5 mils (.2295) which is then your taxes. All taxes are paid
once a year and are retroactive (we just paid the 2013 taxes in
December of 2013).
For Example
If the assessor says the market value is $300,000
$300,000 (value) X 6% = $18,000 (assessed value) X .2295 = $4131
(the taxes you pay).
PRIMARY HOME
The market value X 4% = assessed value X (the mil rate minus the
school and school bond milages)
For Example
If the assessor says the market value is $300,000 for your home
$300,000 (market value) X 4% = $12,000 (assessed value) X 119.4
(.1194) = $1,432.80 tax
For those of you over 65 (permanent residents only) you may take
$50,000 off the market value thanks to the Homestead Act.
If you purchase real property inside an incorporated town/city you will
be subject to additional city property tax.
2013 mil rates are shown. They are 229.5 mils for commercial,
investment, secondary homes & land. The rate for a primary residence
is 119.4mils.
