BRAND NEW LAKEFRONT HOME on private Rice Pond - where nature does the landscaping for you. Nestled on a full acre of wooded land, this property delivers the rare gift of privacy without the upkeep. The mature trees hug the shoreline, leaving little to mow and everything to admire. Think of it less as a yard and more as a front-row seat - a treehouse perch overlooking the shimmering water, where the view changes with every season and the only thing you'll want to do is sit back and take it in. Location couldn't be more convenient: quick, easy access to Hwy 25 puts Hendersonville, Asheville, Travelers Rest, and Greenville all within comfortable reach. Head west on Hwy 11 and you're at Lake Keowee; head east and Spartanburg awaits. The best of the Upstate and the Blue Ridge foothills - all at your fingertips. Inside, ONE LEVEL LIVING with a smart split floor plan gives everyone their own space without sacrificing togetherness. The kitchen shines with GRANITE COUNTERS and a generous work island that flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas - tailor-made for entertaining or just keeping life easy. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a TREY CEILING that adds elegance overhead, DUAL VANITIES, and a spacious WALK-IN CLOSET. Step outside to the COVERED BACK PORCH - already ideal for morning coffee above the tree canopy - and add screening whenever you're ready to make it your favorite room. Look-up Forest is a community that gets into your heart and stays there - your listing agent knows firsthand, having called it home. Come see why. You'll fall in love before you reach the back porch.
