This intimate community of just 33 total properties maintains its natural beauty with only 6 custom homes completed, preserving the pristine landscape of mountain laurel and mature hardwood forests across estate-sized lots averaging 1.75 acres.

"Waterfront lots in Turtlehead command a remarkable 6-fold premium over interior parcels, with recent sales averaging $622,000 for lake access compared to $100,492 for interior homesites."

Amenities & Natural Setting

The community's thoughtfully designed amenities include a private boat ramp providing direct lake access, a swimming pool with surrounding deck area, tennis and pickleball courts, and a clubhouse for gatherings. Boat and RV storage facilities are available for an additional $500 annually, addressing a critical need for seasonal residents. The gated entrance ensures privacy and security for this small enclave of homes and homesites.

Turtlehead's natural setting showcases the best of Lake Keowee's north end topography, with properties featuring gentle slopes ideal for walkout basements, protected coves with deep water suitable for covered docks, and elevations that capture both long lake views and mountain vistas. The abundant mountain laurel creates seasonal displays of pink and white blooms, while mature hardwood canopies provide natural privacy buffers between homesites. Properties range from 0.57-acre waterfront points with 627 feet of shoreline to 9.44-acre estates with over 800 feet of water frontage.
