If you’ve been searching for a buildable waterfront lot on Lake Keowee, this is one worth walking. Short-term rental friendly. Gated community. Covered dock in place. Gently sloping waterfront lot. Lot 9 is a 0.93-acre waterfront homesite on Lake Keowee that checks boxes rarely found together. Located inside the gated community of Highland Shores, this property offers the flexibility to short-term rent (Airbnb/VRBO)—a significant advantage on a lake where many communities prohibit it. One of the most compelling features of this lot is its gentle, walkable topography. Unlike many steep Lake Keowee waterfront properties, Lot 9 is easy to navigate and far easier to build on, allowing buyers to clearly envision their future home and potentially reduce site-preparation costs. A covered dock with Trex decking is already in place with good water depth, providing immediate access to boating, paddleboarding, swimming, and lake life from day one. Positioned in a quiet cove, the lot enjoys calmer water and a more peaceful setting, while still offering full access to Lake Keowee. Highland Shores combines privacy with simplicity—low annual HOA dues, no mandatory amenities, and covenants that allow for a guest house, offering additional flexibility for family, visitors, or future use. For buyers seeking a buildable Lake Keowee waterfront lot with rental flexibility, dock access, and long-term usability, Lot 9 stands apart.
