Nestled within the stunning landscape of The Cliffs at Keowee Falls, Fairway’s Edge represents a rare opportunity to build a smart-sized luxury home that Cottage Group is known for… where you can embrace an enviable lifestyle that includes championship golf, natural beauty, and thoughtful community design. 

This exclusive collection of 20 new golf front homesites offers you the chance to experience upstate South Carolina at its finest, with every detail carefully crafted to enhance your daily life.

Play Golf Every Day on a Jack Nicklaus Designed Course

Imagine waking up each morning to views of one of the most celebrated golf courses in the Carolinas. At Fairway’s Edge, every homesite borders the Jack Nicklaus Signature design course at The Cliffs at Keowee Falls, which has been recognized by Golf Digest as “Best in State.” 

The course’s rolling terrain and breathtaking mountain vistas create an unforgettable backdrop for your daily round. With the fairways literally at your doorstep and a shared putting green at the heart of the neighborhood, you can indulge your passion for golf without ever leaving home.

Whether you’re perfecting your short game with neighbors or teeing off for a full eighteen holes, championship golf becomes part of your everyday “dream routine.”

A Serene Lifestyle on the Links

Life at Fairway’s Edge offers more than proximity to exceptional golf… it provides a complete lifestyle experience. Set on homesites ranging from just over a half to more than one acre, each property is framed by lush forests and lets you enjoy the natural splendor of the region. 

The Keowee Falls clubhouse and wellness center are just a short walk away, while the sparkling waters of Lake Keowee offer peaceful afternoons of boating and paddleboarding. This is where active living meets calm reflection, and where lively community gatherings blend seamlessly with moments of solitude.

With 11 different Cottage Group home plans to choose from, each residence is meticulously handcrafted, with expertly curated interiors designed by Tribus Interior Design. Every stylistic choice in materials, decor and finishes is presented in a way that reflects your unique tastes and lifestyle. 

A Limited-Window of Opportunity

Only a handful of these exclusive homesites are currently available. This is more than real estate… it’s an invitation to belong to something extraordinary, within a custom-curated home you create with the experts at Cottage Group. 

The question isn’t whether you’ll love your new home with your favorite pastime waiting for you just outside your front door — it’s whether you’ll act quickly enough to claim your piece of this mountain paradise.

The hallmarks Cottage Group is known for are immediately present throughout this Idea Home — quality construction to ensure a home that will last generations, craftsmanship where every detail is perfected, and thoughtful layouts that inspire relaxed living that feels like a sanctuary.

Mid-Century Sophistication with an Organic Feel

Design influences range from mid-century modern to luxe boutique hotel, yet the home never loses sight of the organic elements that make a house feel like home. This is luxury that’s smart-sized… refined without feeling unapproachable or overdone.

The entrance makes an immediate impression with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows spanning the front elevation. These expansive panes flood the double-height great room in sunlight, creating an airy atmosphere. A commanding stone fireplace anchors the space, surrounded by carefully layered tones of driftwood that evoke unmistakable tranquility.

Water-Inspired Jewel Tones for Pops of Color

Throughout the home, striking navy blue accents appear on feature walls and in decorative accessories, providing visual punch while maintaining the lakeside aesthetic. The gourmet kitchen delights with premium appliances and thoughtful storage solutions, while an additional outdoor kitchen extends the culinary possibilities into a grand space that honors the Southern tradition of warm gatherings.

Attention to detail elevates every corner of this residence. Delicate brushed brass hardware in pale, luminous finishes draw in the eye, while statement lighting fixtures serve as functional art. Each chandelier, pendant, and wall sconce was selected for its visual appeal and ability to illuminate the space with ambient light.

A Luxurious Layout with a Design that Flows

The home’s layout prioritizes both movement and purpose. The thoughtfully-designed great room flows naturally into adjoining spaces. Every square foot feels welcoming and warm, reflecting accessible craftsmanship that never compromises quality. 

This exceptional property invites you to explore it. This Idea Home welcomes visitors and is available for purchase. Schedule a private tour and see it for yourself!

Down-Size or Smart-Size?

Everyone from empty nesters to young professionals are leading this “smart-sized” home movement. For mature adults, it’s about seeking homes that better suit their current lifestyle while maintaining the refinement they’ve come to appreciate. Rather than viewing it as “downsizing,” these discerning buyers see it as “smart-sizing” – creating spaces that work smarter, not larger.

Big Style in a Smaller Package

Smart-sized luxury homes prove that reducing square footage doesn’t mean compromising on grandeur. These homes feature soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and open-concept living spaces that create an atmosphere of spaciousness. Clever architectural details like hidden storage solutions, multi-functional rooms, and indoor-outdoor living spaces maximize every square foot while maintaining an air of sophistication.

Curated-Custom Touches You’ll Love

One advantage of smart-sized luxury is the ability to invest more in premium finishes and materials. Rather than overwhelming clients with endless options, builders like Cottage Group offer carefully curated selections that reflect current design trends and timeless elegance. From hand-scraped hardwood floors to custom-designed kitchen cabinetry, each element is chosen to create a cohesive, high-end aesthetic that speaks to your personal style.

Smart-sized modern house plans represent the future of upscale living in S.C. and elsewhere in the Carolinas – where quality trumps quantity, and thoughtful design creates spaces that feel both grand and intimately comfortable. For those ready to embrace this sophisticated approach to homeownership, the rewards are clear: a more manageable lifestyle without sacrificing the refinement and beauty they desire.

A Summer Water Sports Paradise

When spring rolls into summer, water enthusiasts find their heaven here with endless kinds of recreation. From early morning kayaking to afternoon wakeboarding sessions, the lake offers something for every water sport imaginable. Fishing is plentiful, with robust stocks of bass and trout that make their home in these waters.

Autumn Foliage that Rivals New England

Autumn along the shoreline of Lake Keowee is a symphony of reds, oranges, and golds, with the forests providing a stunning visual delight. While New England is most famous for its fall foliage, the trees of this South Carolina wonder will satisfy anyone who adores October colors.

Championship Golf Courses Abound

For golfers, Lake Keowee boasts several championship courses. It isn’t just about the game… these are architectural marvels that work in harmony with the natural topography, providing challenging play amid breathtaking scenery. Imagine teeing off with the misty mountains as your backdrop and the lake’s sparkling waters in view.

Serenity in Every Season

What do residents particularly love about Lake Keowee? It has to be the serenity it offers. After a day of activity, there’s nothing quite like watching the sunset from your deck, casting golden dapples across the water. The slower pace of life here reminds us all to relax, unwind, and to appreciate the little things.

Lake Keowee charm is something you have to experience for yourself. Whether you’re seeking a permanent residence or a weekend getaway, the lake provides an escape from the ordinary and an entrance into a lifestyle that many consider the epitome of living the dream.

The color scheme is all about sandy beiges and warm neutrals, with fun pops of earthy tones and bold colors, plus a few retro patterns thrown in. It’s the perfect blend of magazine-worthy style and cozy, laid-back vibes. You’ll spot hints of mountain modern and boutique hotel chic, but everything still feels down-to-earth and natural, just the way homeowners love it.

As soon as you walk in, you’re welcomed by massive floor-to-ceiling windows that let natural light flood the vaulted great room. The stunning stone fireplace steals the show, and the mix of driftwood tones gives the whole space a calm, zen-like feel. To keep things interesting, bold indigo accents on the walls and decor pieces add just the right amount of color while sticking with that mountain lake vibe.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with all the latest appliances and tons of storage space – plus an outdoor grilling space for even more entertaining! In true Southern style, this home is perfect for hosting friends and family.

Gorgeous brushed brass hardware and eye-catching light fixtures bring the whole design together with a modern, artsy touch. Every chandelier, pendant, and sconce was carefully chosen to add a sculptural detail that anchors each space.

When designing this home, we focused on making sure it flowed well and was super functional. From the open-concept, cathedral-like great room to the textured accents throughout, every detail has a story.

You can see the full virtual tour here. But, of course, nothing beats seeing this beauty in person! The Idea Home is open for tours now – just give us a call to schedule!
