A Protected Environment
Lake Thurmond offers countless water activities.
This 4,000-acre property, called home by some 2,400 residents, enjoys unusual degrees of protection from development. The 1,200-mile forested shoreline of Lake Thurmond has only 150 miles that are zoned for development—Savannah Lakes Village occupies 25 of them.
Attractions such as its world-class kayaking and fishing, plus its 100 miles of hiking and biking trails will be enjoyed in their natural environment into perpetuity. Send me more information about this SC community!
36 Holes & Membership Included
Play on 36 championship holes served by two clubhouses.
The community’s two Tom Clark-designed courses, Monticello and Tara, are routed along lakefront acreage. Each stretches to more than 7,000 yards from their back tees, but multiple tees allow either course to be played from as little as 4,500 yards.
A special bonus for property owners in Savannah Lakes Village is that Golf Membership is included, as are all other amenities.
There are no golf initiation fees to burden new owners, and members can choose from attractive unlimited annual play packages or pay daily golf fees as low as $25, including cart. Send me more information about Savannah Lakes Village!
Financial Stability & Affordability
Savannah Lakes Village transitioned out of developer control in 1999 and is now governed solely by it Property Owners Association.
As a result, one of its top selling points is its financial stability.
And when it comes time to purchase a homesite, there’s the comfort in knowing ahead of time that all infrastructure and underground utilities are complete and ready to go. Send me more information about this SC community!
