Reserve at Lake Keowee, SC, Announces New Family Legacy Membership Benefits

The Hudson Family: One of the first to take advantage of new Legacy Membership at The Reserve at Lake Keowee.

With a focus on the family, The Reserve at Lake Keowee has introduced its Legacy Membership, a robust expansion of benefits to the community’s Full and Premier Members.

The Reserve’s Legacy Membership now allows Members at the Greenville, SC, community to extend their membership privileges beyond their spouses and minor children to include their parents, adult children, and grandchildren. Existing members need only complete a Family Registration Form to activate their Legacy benefits. Request more information.

A Family-Oriented Community
“We have always been a very family-oriented community and have tried hard to cater to the desires of members and to carry out our promise and vision as a place to create family legacies,” explains Chuck Pigg, VP of Greenwood Communities and Resorts and Community Manager of The Reserve.

“Upon reflecting on our 10th Anniversary year, we recognized once again how important it is to our members to share The Reserve with their families.

"We felt that one of the best things we could do to enhance the membership value for existing and future members, as well as further strengthen our commitment to family, was to offer membership privileges to the parents, grandparents, children and grandchildren of the member.”

Transitioning Vacation Home to Retirement Home
The legacy aspect of The Reserve’s new Legacy Membership answers a growing demand among Baby Boomers, as evidenced in the Kelsey & Norden’s study, to transition their vacation/second home into a retirement home. More than half of the Baby Boomer respondents indicated that they are “likely” to “very likely” to retire in their vacation/second home. Request more information.

And though no one can deny the keen eye all buyers have toward the perception of value-for-price, Kelsey & Norden found that “the recession forced people to reevaluate their priorities and values. Many families concluded that spending quality time together away from their regular stressful, time-constrained lives is now more important than ever.”

Full-time residents Barry and Carol Hudson echoed those same sentiments:

“We decided to build at The Reserve because we believed this would be a place our kids and grandkids would want to visit and that has certainly been the case.  Keeping the family together is a priority for us, and The Reserve is the perfect place to do that. So, naturally, we were delighted to hear about the new Legacy Membership.

“Our son, Shannon and wife, Melissa, live in Greenville and are excited to know they will have full membership privileges making The Reserve amenities more easily accessible.  Our daughter, Barbara Ann, and husband, Kirk, visit several times a year even though they live in Oklahoma.”

The Hudson Family congregates at The Reserve every summer, over the Fourth of July.  They enjoy the Family Olympics at Turkey Ridge Park, watching the fireworks, golfing, and of course, doing all manner of activities in and around the lake and pool.  During fall visits, the whole family takes to the trails.

Bringing Families Together
For part-time residents Doug and Sandy McKinney, too, the impetus for building a home at The Reserve has always been to bring their large family together:

“We have five children, four sons-in-law, a son who is recently engaged, and eight grandchildren,” Sandy McKinney explains.

“Our lakefront home at The Reserve can sleep 23 people, and we included a great beach with boats and jet skis, not only so that our kids would want to come visit, but also our grandkids. Our property is wonderful, but The Reserve and its amenities make it doubly wonderful.”

In the first weeks since announcing the new Legacy Membership, more than 160 parents, children, grandparents and grandchildren have enrolled in the new program. Request more information.

52' Lyman Morse Seguin '05 "Fairweather" Reduced $250,000 to $1.175 Million

Fairweather's quarter-million price reduction will turn heads.

LOA:     52' (15.8 m)
Year:     2005
Builder:     LYMAN MORSE BOAT CO.
Category:     Cruising Sailboat
Price:     1,175,000  USD
Located in Thomaston, Maine, U.S.

“Fairweather”, a Seguin 52 being offered by Sparkman & Stephens, is priced to sell with a recent reduction in price by a quarter of a million dollars to $1,175,000. This steep price reduction underscores the seller's desire to move the boat. Offers are seriously encouraged.

“Fairweather” is 52-foot semi-custom classic looking sloop with gracious overhangs and a timeless sheer line built by Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding of Thomaston, Maine. First launched in 2005, “Fairweather” was built for Ken Sawyer, who was helping develop a new line of Seguins and assisting with the marketing. Two larger models were developed, but have yet to be constructed.

The slippery hull design is complimented by a fin keel and bulb.

In 1980, Sparkman & Stephens teamed up with Lyman-Morse to create the successful Seguin 44 series of which 16 were built. Although a common hull mold was used, each yacht was a unique combination of transoms, deckhouse configurations and interiors based upon individual client requests.

The Seguin 44 was designed to be a great cruising and offshore boat. Several Seguin 44 have circled the globe. The Seguin 44, THISTLE, won her class in the 2003 Marion-Bermuda Race.

Sparkling interior, expansive galley.

The design and construction of the Seguin 52 follows the same philosophy. It is a “go anywhere” designed custom yacht for clients who desire higher standards than those offered by production boat manufactures while taking advantage of the cost saving of common hull molds and other parts.

The styling of the deckhouse on Seguin 52 #1 draws its inspiration from Sparkman & Stephens’ famous design BOLERO built in 1949, a favorite design of the client.

Design
The hull form and appendages draw on S&S's experience in designing fast, seaworthy yachts.  The hull features a moderate waterline with long overhangs akin to the classic racing and cruising yachtsonf the mid 20th century. 

Small office area and writing desk flanked by hanging lockers.

According to Sparkman & Stephens Naval Architects, "While the boat looks like a true classic above the water, below the water is a different story.  Underwater is a modern hull form and appendage package with each characteristic of the desing optimized to maximize speed while providing maximum offshore comfort in a seaway." 

The slippery hull form with its fine entry forward is complimented by a fin keel and bulb with a draft of 7'-8" which provides good pointing and speed to windward and the ability to keep off a lee shore.  A deep, high-aspect ration, efficient spade rudder provides additional lift to windward and keeps the yacht under control in surfing conditions.

Accommodations
The owner for “Fairweather,” an experienced sailor, wanted a practical arrangement for offshore sailing.  The interior is laid out to be spacious, bright and efficient.  As you enter the cabin from the companionway stairs there is a day head to starboard and a guest cabin with a large double berth to port. 

Large and comfortable salon.

As you progress forward the well-appointed galley is to starboard with plenty of storage and counter space. Across from the galley, forward of the guest stateroom is a wet locker and bench for putting on your foul weather boots.

Extensive wood trim everywhere.

Just forward of this is a forward facing navigation station with all of the navigation instrument nicely placed in front of the navigator. Past the chart table and down two steps into the main salon, there is a large dining table to starboard and a 6 ft 8 inch (2.0 meter) settee to port with end tables at either end.

On the forward bulkhead of the salon is a Luke stove and large bookcase. Outboard on either side of the salon are pilot berths for offshore sailing. Moving forward of the salon and into the owners cabin, there is a small office area and writing desk flanked by hanging lockers outboard to port. 

Accommodating berths.

The sleeping area includes a queen-size berth to starboard.  The large head with a separate stall shower is forward.

For more information, contact Central Agent, Kevin Dailey,  Office: 212-661-6170, Cell: 203-434-6060. Or send Kevin an email. Visit the full listing on the Sparkman & Stephens website.

Belle Isle State Park is another landmark of the Neck, spread out over 733 acres with seven miles of frontage on the lower Rappahannock River and miles of trails through lowland marshes and upland woods.
