Life in Walhalla
Walhalla is the county seat of Oconee County and the mountain-town anchor of the Upstate lake area. Founded by German settlers in 1850, Walhalla still has an authentic historic downtown, a working railroad, and easy access to the best waterfalls, hiking, and state parks in the state. For buyers who want mountain-town character with the lake still 15 minutes away, Walhalla is the pick.
Downtown Walhalla feels like a Southern mountain town from a different era in the best way. Steinway Piano Gallery next door to a taphouse, an old-school movie theater, the Palmetto Rose Bistro, and a farmers market that draws vendors from four counties.
The town is a launching pad for the outdoors: Issaqueena Falls, Stumphouse Tunnel, Oconee State Park, Yellow Branch Falls, and the trailhead for the Foothills Trail are all within a 20-minute drive. Fly fishermen and kayakers migrate here from all over.
For buyers, Walhalla offers a full range: pre-1900 historic homes downtown, mid-century ranches on quiet streets, custom mountain homes in the foothills, and lake-adjacent properties within a 15-minute drive of the Keowee shoreline.
