Showcases Best in Luxury Wellness Living for the Family at The Cliffs at Keowee Springs

SIX MILE, SC, September 5, 2008 – The Cliffs Communities debuts the 2008 GOLF Magazine® Dream House with sponsor Rain Bird and the opening of the new Tom Fazio championship golf course with a Grand Opening Weekend September 5, 2008.

Designed by Greenville, SC Architect and Builder Allora, LLC, this stunning 5,177- square-foot, five bedroom/five bathroom luxury retreat embraces its location on a 1.32-acre homesite that overlooks the 6th and 12th greens and 13th tee.

With an innovative open floor plan full of natural light, every room in the home is engaged by the expansive views. This showplace encourages gracious living and entertaining, particularly in the Great Room with curved walls, soaring fireplace and cathedral ceiling. This spacious room, as do many, flows outdoors to a generous porch. The inspiring custom gourmet kitchen incorporates KitchenAid Architect Series II appliances and opens to another signature feature of the home – the screened porch; with a summer kitchen and fireplace, its proximity to nature is a breath of fresh air.

Designer ID Studio Interiors harmoniously blended the best of the scenery with Old World elegance and touches of European flair throughout the home. The Dining room showcases a dramatic faux painted compass ceiling and rich details while the bedrooms serve as personal sanctuaries with refined color palettes, eclectic furnishings, hickory hardwood floors and cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling beams and trusses.

Fun for the young and young at heart abounds with the terrace level Billiards and Gaming rooms that also connect to a stone porch and special outdoor vistas. For adults, the space is complimented by a Kessick custom wine cellar and wet bar, making this yet another gathering spot in the home. However, it’s the 350-square-foot Full Swing golf simulator that is sure to prove most popular. Players use exclusive real-time, seamless ball flight to play the world’s best courses without ever setting foot in an airport – golfers may even compete in online tournaments. Accessible to players of all skill levels, the entire family (and envious friends and neighbors) can share in the enjoyment. The golf simulator isn’t the only technology star in the home; the entire residence is outfitted with the latest Fusion audio and visual system.

The residence also flawlessly integrates with its environment. Natural stone and cedar shake exteriors with a TruSlate roof were selected to house tankless water heaters, recycled cellulose fiber insulation, and Jeld-Wen premium windows. Rain Bird’s automatic sprinkler and drip irrigation system will keep the landscape beautiful all year long through effective, efficient and responsible water use as well. The 2008 GOLF Magazine Dream House was conceptualized as an innovative respite keeping with the philosophy of The Cliffs at Keowee Springs so that it enhances the mind, body and soul for the entire family. The home is currently offered at $2,950,000 and includes all furnishings. Personal tours will be offered to those wishing to experience this remarkable home.
