Property Details

DescriptionSearching for an extraordinary lakefront estate on Lake Bowen? Welcome to a rare European-inspired masterpiece where architectural elegance meets resort-style living on 1.66 pristine acres of sparkling open water. Built in 2018, this impeccably designed five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence offers a level of craftsmanship and scale seldom found in the Upstate. Two fully independent living quarters—each with its own kitchen and laundry—create unparalleled flexibility for multi-generational living, luxury guest accommodations, or premium income-producing potential. A private dock stretches into the tranquil waters of Lake Bowen, positioned in a peaceful cove with breathtaking panoramic views of both lake and the distant mountains. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the expansive 26.7 x 15.8 screened porch—secured beneath as well—mirrors the generous patio below, creating layered outdoor living spaces that feel like a private waterfront retreat. The grand two-story stone entry sets a tone of distinction as you pass through double doors into a home defined by soaring 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors on the main floor, and five-inch oak hardwoods throughout (except bathroom and laundry). The formal dining room impresses with coffered ceilings and refined moldings, opening seamlessly toward stunning lake views. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is both dramatic and functional. A statement island adorned with corbels anchors the space, complemented by upper-tier granite, a marble farmhouse sink, copper fixtures and pot filler, illuminated glass cabinetry, tiled backsplash, built-in oven and microwave, print-shield dishwasher, smooth-top range, and a walk-in pantry. Every detail was curated for elevated living. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and dual patio doors that both open to extend the space effortlessly onto Trex decking, blurring the line between indoors and out. The primary suite is a private sanctuary positioned to capture magnificent waterfront views. With a trey ceiling, porch access, spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub, tiled glass shower, double vanity, and custom walk-in closet, it delivers the serenity of a luxury resort. Two additional main-level bedrooms are thoughtfully on the other side of the home, separated by a pocket door and share a beautifully tiled bath with glass-enclosed shower and soaking tub. Upstairs, a refined guest suite with loft, dormer accents, walk-in closet, and double-vanity bath offers both charm and privacy. The lower level unveils an entirely separate living environment with waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring, a full kitchen with island, arched dining area, secondary master suite with washer and dryer hookup, additional bedroom or office, full exercise room, and dual-vanity bath—ideal for extended stays or private quarters. Across the street, a detached structure expands the possibilities: two additional garage spaces, six covered storage bays for boating equipment, and a finished gathering space—the ultimate man cave or she shed. In total, this estate provides four enclosed garage spaces plus six covered bays, creating exceptional capacity for car collectors, watercraft enthusiasts, and outdoor recreation. Created in the 1960s, Lake Bowen spans 1,534 acres with 33 miles of shoreline and is cherished for its pristine waters. Boating, skiing, fishing, and kayaking thrive here, with motor restrictions of 115 horsepower that help preserve the peaceful atmosphere. Located less than 30 minutes from Tryon International Equestrian Center, this property offers both seclusion and accessibility. Additional refinements include a termite bond, irrigation sourced from the lake for a nominal annual fee, and available architectural blueprints. This is more than a home—it is a statement of lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a private waterfront estate where sophistication, scale, and serenity converge on one of the Upstate’s most coveted lakes.
