168 Settlement Village Drive

From the moment you arrive, there is a sense that this home was designed not simply to be admired, but to be lived in-fully, beautifully, and with intention. Set high above Lake Keowee in the sought-after Settlement Village within Old Edwards Reserve, the views unfold in layers: shimmering water, the Great Lawn and Orchard House below, the stately Reserve Clubhouse, and beyond it all, the soft blue silhouettes of the mountains stretching toward the horizon. It is the kind of setting that quietly changes the rhythm of a day. The architecture reflects an English cottage sensibility, interpreted through a refined, modern lens. Stone and board-and-batten create a sense of timelessness, while inside, the home opens into light and volume. The great room, with its soaring wood-paneled ceiling and dramatic stone fireplace, feels both grand and welcoming-a place equally suited to a quiet evening by the fire or a house filled with friends after a day on the lake or course. Walls of glass draw the outdoors in, keeping those remarkable views ever-present. The kitchen is designed for gathering as much as for cooking. Thoughtful details-custom cabinetry, Cambria quartz, and a suite of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances-create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. It flows seamlessly into dining and living areas, and then outward to expansive outdoor spaces where life naturally extends. A screened porch and broad terrace, complete with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, become the backdrop for long dinners, early morning coffee, and evenings that linger well past sunset. With six en-suite bedrooms, the home accommodates family and guests with ease and privacy. The primary suite on the main level is quietly set apart, offering its own connection to the outdoors and a bath designed for relaxation and renewal. Upstairs and beyond, guest suites are thoughtfully arranged to give everyone a sense of space, while still feeling connected to the homes central gathering areas. The terrace level takes on a life of its own-a more relaxed, retreat-like environment with a fireside lounge, a beautifully appointed wet bar, and spaces designed for recreation and wellness. Here, doors open to a private outdoor setting that feels almost resort-like: an infrared sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, and fire pit beneath the night sky. It is a place to unwind after a round of golf, a morning on the lake, or an afternoon exploring the trails that weave throughout the community. Life at Old Edwards Reserve extends far beyond the home itself. The community offers a thoughtfully curated lifestyle centered around connection, recreation, and a deep appreciation for the natural surroundings. The Jack Nicklausdesigned golf course is both challenging and scenic, complemented by exceptional practice facilities. Tennis and pickleball courts, a well-appointed fitness center, multiple pools, and miles of walking trails create opportunities for both activity and relaxation. The Orchard House and clubhouse serve as gathering places, where dining and social events bring neighbors together in an easy, welcoming way.
