This gorgeous traditional mountain house, designed by Mountainworks Custom Home Design with Ridgeline Construction Group, overlooks Lake Keowee in The Reserve community in Sunset, South Carolina. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge foothills, the home blends timeless mountain architecture with refined craftsmanship.
The exterior palette is rich and layered, featuring custom Charcoal stain and glaze on Nichiha Sierra shake siding from Carolina Colortones, paired with trim in Sherwin-Williams Smoke Tree and timbers finished in Sherwin-Williams Mountain Ash. Painted Miratec fascia, locally crafted rough-sawn cedar gable trusses, and granite fieldstone sourced from a quarry in Marion, North Carolina, add depth and authenticity. A slate roof and black aluminum-clad windows complete the home’s timeless mountain character.
