226 Long Ridge Road

A rare expression of European architectural artistry on the shores of Lake Keowee, 226 Long Ridge Road is a French Country estate where every space has been intentionally designed to evoke both timeless elegance and effortless lakefront living. Set behind curated landscaping and a sweeping approach, the home’s Normandy-inspired stone and stucco facade introduces a residence defined by symmetry, craftsmanship, and quiet grandeur. No expense was spared in the recent re-design of the home, a true restoration suited perfectly to the artistic essence of its architecture. Extensive upgrades and exquisite finishes carefully crafted from top to bottom include window and door renewal, replacement of nearly every finish and paint, a whole-kitchen revival, and a focus on natural indoor to outdoor tra nsitions. Inside, a sequence of arched corridors and gallery hallways creates a striking architectural rhythm—guiding you through light-filled spaces that feel both expansive and intimate. The interiors are richly layered with textured walls, exposed brick accents, and bespoke finishes, creating a warm, aged aesthetic reminiscent of a refined European estate. A soft, neutral palette allows natural light, architectural detail, and curated design moments to take center stage. The main living spaces open effortlessly through panoramic moving glass wall systems, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out and framing uninterrupted views of open water. The lower level continues this experience with a dramatic full-span sliding glass wall, creating a seamless transition to the lakefront terrace and entertainment areas. The kitchen is both a showpiece and a gathering space—anchored by custom cabinetry, an expansive island, and a suite of premium Miele and BlueStar appliances. The appliances and appointments are a chef’s dream come true and beckon for magic in the kitchen. Complemented by striking ceiling detail, the kitchen flows naturally into dining and living areas designed for both intimate evenings and large-scale entertaining. Outdoor living is exceptional and intentionally layered: • A screened lakeside dining pavilion with outdoor kitchen and grill. • A travertine patio and fireplace lounge overlooking the water. • Covered and open-air terraces positioned to capture panoramic lake views. • Gently terraced grounds leading to the private hip and half covered dock. The home offers six bedrooms, including three private en suite retreats, along with a thoughtfully designed bunk room that elevates guest accommodations with both function and style. The primary suite is a private sanctuary featuring a spa-inspired bath with a steam shower, soaking tub, and a private screened outdoor retreat—a quiet extension of the suite into nature. Additional features include: • Custom-crafted cabinetry by Reinhart Furniture Inc. • Private elevator servicing all three levels. • Three-car garage with exceptional scale and storage. • Multiple living areas including a recreation/game room. • Offered fully furnished (with select exclusions) for a true turnkey experience. Perfectly positioned within one of Lake Keowee’s most sought-after gated communities, the home is just a short golf cart ride to the clubhouse, dining, fitness and yoga center, pickleball and tennis complexes, driving range, golf course, resort-style pool, and more. With its architectural depth, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and commanding big-water views, 226 Long Ridge Road is not simply a home—it is a legacy lakefront estate designed for generations to gather, entertain, and retreat in refined luxury.
