Buy this $2.8 million castle by a lake in SC and live like royalty. Take a look
You could make your wildest fairy tale dreams a reality with the Castle on Keowee recently listed for sale.
Under construction in Seneca, S.C., this spectacular lakeside home was listed for sale for $2.8 million by Marsha Burrell with Allen Tate Realtors.
A small portion of the home was built more than 50 years ago. The 6-bedroom home later underwent a large expansion, adding thousands of square feet, sprawling decks, balconies, a turret with living quarters and two additional waterfront lots.
The full estate offers a wide panoramic view that covers a triple waterfront lot totaling 1.45 acres of shoreline.
Any interested buyer would need to finish construction and solidify the home’s charm as a lakeside castle.
Nestled in its small community’s private cul-de-sac, the home offers multiple unique characteristics, such as a gated entrance, surrounded by custom-designed landscaping.
Pass through the home’s valet-style entrance and into its stately, 12-foot mahogany doorway and you’ll find a fluid design from one large room to the next.
The main level has space for a large number of visitors, while offering amazing views that lead onto the expansive balcony for combined indoor and outdoor entertaining.
The master suite shares a well-sized fireplace with the main home’s turret, which is designed to hold a two-story library.
The buyer will have the chance to design a gourmet kitchen and living area to his or her liking.
A planned elevator or curved staircase can be used to reach the ground level. This space was designed to accommodate five bedrooms, three baths and even a theater room. The area also has an old world-style wine cellar built into the dirt grounds behind a heavy, rustic wood door,
You can cross a charming bridge from the balcony of the main house to the stand-alone turret. The tower has a full living area that includes a spiral staircase that reaches its steeple.
A large stone stairway from the grand balcony leads to a water fountain.
Along the water’s edge, all of the columns there are pre-wired to add your choice of lighting to enhance the Castle’s nighttime views. There’s also a lakeside gazebo created to hold an outdoor kitchen and large entertaining area.
