The five highest-priced home sales reported in Clemson, Seneca & Upstate Lakes, South Carolina for the week ending November 8, 2026, came to a combined $5.79 million. All five were single-family homes, three in Oconee County and two in Pickens County, and Seneca had two of them, with one each in Sunset, Salem and Clemson.
The group ranges from lake-community living, with marinas and golf close at hand, to a one-story home in an in-town Clemson neighborhood and a home on several wooded acres in a gated Seneca community.
No. 1 — $3,350,000 · 117 Sunrise Rdg, Sunset, South Carolina
The week’s top sale was on the water in The Reserve At Lake Keowee, in Sunset, where a lakefront home sold for $3,350,000. Finished in stone and wood siding, the two-story home sits on 1.12 acres of gently sloping, wooded land, and the community’s Orchard House and driving range are within walking distance. At 6,228 square feet it is the largest of the five homes, and its six bathrooms, four full and two half, are the most in the group. It also has four bedrooms and a three-car garage. The property last sold in 2002 for $360,000.
The kitchen, dining area and great room run together as one open space. A large island with bar seating sits at the center of the kitchen, which has a walk-in pantry, a wine and coffee bar, built-in double ovens, porcelain counters and custom wood cabinets. Windows wrap the dining area, and the great room rises to a tall ceiling over a gas log fireplace with a raised hearth. Step out from the dining area and there is a large screened porch with a stone fireplace of its own, a vaulted wood ceiling and room to grill.
Off the entry hall, a private office has a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a big arched window, and because it connects to a full bath it can also work as a bedroom. The primary bath has heated floors, and the primary suite opens onto the deck, which can also be reached from the great room. An elevator with two stops links the levels, and the hallways were built extra wide for accessibility.
The finished walk-out lower level is meant for guests and entertaining. It has a rec room, a half bath and two bedrooms, each with its own bath, as well as a temperature-controlled wine cellar with custom racks and a tasting area. A large workshop and a room for storing lake equipment are down there too, and the level opens to a patio. Over the garage, a bedroom or bonus room with a full bath has been roughed in and is ready for drywall.
Living at The Reserve requires a Premier membership. Members have a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and a full-service marina, along with a lakeside pool and cabana, clay tennis courts, pickleball and a clubhouse with a pub, a wine bar and fine dining.
