519 tall ship drive, unit 219

Must see one of the loveliest, updated Master Bathrooms; it is modern and absolutely beautiful. This Keowee Key Tall Ship Unit is in the Clipper Building which is steps to the walking trail, the North Marina and the salt-water, outdoor pool. Just steps from your 2nd level home, the North Gate Marina offers amenities that are easily accessed from this building. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and along the shores of Lake Keowee in the gated community of Keowee Key you will enjoy this water-view, 2 BR/2 Ba condo with the beautiful, renovated master bathroom, tiled patio, and beautifully tiled foyer. The Tall Ship condos are very popular full-time residences but are well suited for 2nd homes and short-term rentals which are so desirable because of the location to so many of the Keowee Key amenities. Keowee Key is the premier gated community which has 14 tennis courts, golf course, pickleball courts, two private marinas, private beaches, fitness center with heated, indoor pool, two outdoor pools including the salt-water pool just steps away from this home. There is club dining, a sandwich shop, as well as a snack bar at the fitness center. The location is spectacular as you are barely an hour from waterfalls and mountains. Just an hour to Greenville, SC and Highlands, NC, and just over an hour to Hendersonville and Asheville, NC. Atlanta is also barely over 2-hours from this home in the Tall Ship section of Keowee Key. The golf course is currently being renovated. Please be aware of the fees associated with owning a Tall Ship condo inside Keowee Key. The buyer is responsible for the annual HOA fees currently $4,074; the Tall Ship quarterly regime fee and the special assessment. Visit the Tall Ship webpage for information: www.tallshipcondos.com. There is a one-time ‘buy-in’ fee of $1,500.00 for purchasing a Tall Ships unit (there is also a one-time buy-in fee of $2,685 payable to Keowee Key at closing). While the fee is payable by the buyer, the owner and the seller normally negotiate how the charge will be covered. The ‘buy-in’ fee is waived if the unit is simply being transferred to a member of the owner’s family or is passing by virtue of inheritance or divorce settlement. REGIME FEES: The Tall Ships Association is a part of the Keowee Key Property Owners’ Association (KKPOA) and owners of Tall Ships units are subject to the same charges that all KKPOA members pay. In addition the Tall Ships Association levies an annual fee to cover the upkeep of the buildings, roofs, elevators, landscaping, trash removal, common areas, etc. This is presently $3,120.00/year, payable in quarterly installments of $780.00 each. Regime Fees are due on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS: There are times when special assessments must be charged to cover the costs of major improvements that exceed available funds from regime fees. In such a case the Board of Directors will determine the assessments and notify the owners. A special assessment is currently in effect to pay for a four million dollar loan that was procured to complete a major construction project. This project involved the replacement of the bow and end wall windows, installation of a drainable system for the wall coating, and repairs to the foundations, chimneys, and columns on the decks. For more information on these construction projects, see the Architect Reports page of this website. Currently, the special assessments are set at $3,700/year, payable in quarterly installments of $925.00 each. Special assessments are expected to remain in affect for through mid 2029 when the 12-year loan is fully repaid. Special Assessments are due February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1. The special assessment may be prepaid in full bases upon the current quarterly payoff. http://www.tallshipscondos.com.
