235 Bay View Drive, Salem, SC, 29676 | $949,900

NEW CONSTRUCTION luxury custom home in gated Bay Ridge on Lake Keowee's coveted north side — with private community boat ramp access and designer finishes throughout. This is the only new luxury build currently available in Bay Ridge, offering true Lake Keowee living without the waterfront price tag — just before peak summer season. Positioned on the scenic north end of Lake Keowee, known for stunning Blue Ridge Mountain backdrops and lighter boat traffic, this location delivers a quieter, more elevated lake experience with unbeatable convenience. Just off Scenic Highway 11, you're 30 minutes to Clemson University and 50 minutes to Downtown Greenville — the perfect blend of mountain-lake escape and accessibility. Custom arched mahogany entry doors open to a striking checkered tile foyer, setting the tone for the craftsmanship throughout. Soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and wide-plank white oak engineered hardwoods create a warm, refined atmosphere built for gathering. The chef's kitchen features inset custom cabinetry, a generous quartz island, curated designer lighting, premium appliances and finishes, plus a beautifully appointed butler's pantry with wine fridge and dedicated wine storage — made for entertaining. The oversized primary suite is a private retreat with its own fireplace and sitting area. The spa-inspired primary bath rivals a boutique resort: freestanding soaking tub, dual shower heads, separate vanities, and two private water closets. A massive custom walk-in closet connects directly to the laundry room for everyday ease. On the opposite wing: an en-suite second bedroom, a third bedroom, a full guest bath with exterior access (ideal after lake days), and a ~500 sq ft bonus room — perfect as a media room, guest space, or flex room. Outside, an outdoor kitchen and expansive . 57-acre lot set the stage for summer evenings under the Carolina sky. The oversized 3-car garage handles vehicles, lake gear, and boat storage — making spontaneous days on the water effortless. Bay Ridge offers prime north Lake Keowee positioning, some of the lowest HOA fees on the lake, and close proximity to Lake Jocassee and the Jocassee Gorges — home to some of the most pristine natural scenery in the Upstate of South Carolina. This is more than a home — it's a lifestyle. Luxury Lake Keowee living, without the waterfront price tag. Seller is related to the listing agent.
