Lake Keowee Community
Community Overview
Chickasaw Point holds a distinctive place among Lake Keowee's residential communities. Established in the 1970s, it is one of the original neighborhoods on the lake, and that history shows in its mature tree canopy, established infrastructure, and the deep sense of belonging that long-time residents describe as the community's defining quality.
Located near Westminster in Oconee County, South Carolina, Chickasaw Point offers lakefront living at a price point that opens Lake Keowee to a broader range of buyers. Homes range from $350K to $1.5M+, with lot sizes spanning a third of an acre to more than 1.5 acres. For buyers who want waterfront access, golf, and a genuine neighborhood atmosphere without the premium attached to gated luxury developments, Chickasaw Point consistently delivers.
The community is anchored by an 18-hole golf course that winds through wooded terrain with seasonal lake views. Unlike many Lake Keowee communities, golf and social memberships here are optional, giving homeowners the flexibility to choose the lifestyle and cost structure that suits them. The clubhouse serves as the social hub of the neighborhood, hosting regular dining events, holiday celebrations, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Waterfront lots with dock permits are available, and the community marina provides boat slips and a public ramp for convenient lake access. A community pool, tennis courts, fitness room, walking trails, and parks round out the amenities, creating a neighborhood that balances recreation with everyday livability.
What sets Chickasaw Point apart is its homeowner community. The HOA is active, engaged, and organized, running a full calendar of social events, tournaments, and volunteer activities.
