Construction begins at The Cliffs lake house.

A new lake house is underway at The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards, after The Cliffs company officially broke ground last week. Overlooking Lake Keowee and featuring minimalist and low-profile architectural lines, the lake house will include an indoor dining room, an open-air pavilion offering a flexible dining and entertainment space for events and weddings, and a patio dining area and bar.

"We are pleased to kick off a series of club-focused investments at The Cliffs by announcing plans for The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards Lakehouse," said Will Culp, partner at South Street, which recently purchased The Cliffs.

"This project aligns strongly with our vision to take The Cliffs communities to new heights through a well-rounded, lifestyle-focused approach to the private club experience," he said in a news release.
