MAGNIFICENT is an understatement! This premier property is absolutely one of a kind, encompassing a very gently-sloped 2.8 acre point lot with 700’ of riprapped shoreline. It’s possibly the best lakefront presence on the shores of Lake Hartwell, and arguably the best lot on ANY upstate lake! Located in a gated community, the location cannot be rivaled for convenience: under 5 minutes to supermarkets, under 5 minutes to I-85, 10 minutes to Anderson shopping, under 20 minutes to Clemson University (20 by boat!), about 35 minutes to Greenville and under 1.5 hours to northeast Atlanta!

Golfers will spot the perfect putting green, right on the front lawn. The exterior finishes include white Hardie Artisan siding, a standing-seam dark charcoal metal roof, and custom handmade black shutters – a façade which brings to mind a historic southern estate home. The front porch is welcoming; fun Charleston joggling boards flank the front door. As you enter the foyer, the open plan allows immediate panoramic views of the lake through the rear windows and doors. This home is SO full of natural light in every room. Antique, reclaimed heart pine floors are present throughout both main and upper levels. The soaring 12’ ceilings definitely make a statement. The roomy living area is incredibly inviting.

Lake Hartwell is a man-made reservoir bordering Georgia and South Carolina on the Savannah, Tugaloo, and Seneca Rivers. Lake Hartwell is one of the southeast’s largest and most popular recreation lakes. The lake is created by Hartwell Dam located on the Savannah River seven miles (11 km) below the point at which the Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers join to form the Savannah. 56,000-acre Lake Hartwell, is inhabited by striped and hybrid bass, largemouth, crappie, bream, and catfish and is one of the Southeast’s premier fishing destinations for professionals. Homes for sale on Lake Hartwell are some of the most expensive properties in the Upstate.
All the traditional lake recreational activities can be seen and done here on Lake Hartwell:
- Camping. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages 9 campgrounds at Lake Hartwell with a total of 524 campsites. Many of the campgrounds include restrooms, showers, boat ramps, playgrounds, electric and water hookups, courtesy docks, group camping, and designated swimming areas.
- Biking trail. The Corps of Engineers Lake Hartwell office partnered with the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) to build a 7.6 miles (12.2 km) multi-purpose trail at the Paynes Creek Campground area.
- Fishing. Hartwell is home to many different types of fish including largemouth bass, bream, hybrid and striped bass, crappie, white bass, trout, and walleye.

LAKE JOCASSEE
Is a 7,500-acre, 300-foot deep reservoir located in northwest upstate South Carolina created by the state in partnership with Duke Power in 1973. The lake is commonly known for the clean and cold Appalachian mountain rivers that feed the lake to keep its waters cool and clear year-round. The lake is within Devils Fork State Park. There are four different smaller rivers that feed into Lake Jocassee. Similar to Lake Hartwell, as one can guess the real estate for sale on Lake Jocassee is some of the most premium property in the Upstate near Greenville / Spartanburg SC. The same fish species as in Lake Hartwell can also be found in Jocassee.
LAKE KEOWEE
Also a man-made reservoir this lake was created to serve the needs of a power utility (Duke Energy) as well as public recreational purposes. It is approximately 26 miles long, 3 miles wide, with an average depth of 54 feet, and a shoreline measured at 300 miles in total and is approximately 800 feet above sea level. The lake is connected by damn to Lake Jocassee and as you can imagine shares the same recreational activities as the other two Greenville SC area lakes of Hartwell and Jocassee.
