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 864-944-2135.

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.
