About This Home

What makes this DIRECT LAKEFRONT Lake Keowee Cottage extra special? The price for a direct waterfront cottage with no lake view obstructions is a true chef's kiss!!! This cottage is the perfect lake getaway, comes with the furniture, and is only one cottage away from its parking spot! It is also in front of stairs into the lake making it very easy to swim and float right in front of your cottage, not just at the stairs behind the pool. Love to float and still be able to speak to someone on the porch of your cottage? You can do that here. Hey, bring me a .... drink, please! The roof was new in 2021, the HVAC was new in 2012 and hot water heater in 2014. If you are looking for a low maintenance retreat or a lakefront getaway, cottage 24 is a must see! The cottage is only one cottage away from the lakefront walking path that goes around the neighborhood peninsula. This established community offers many amenities. They include a fabulous lakefront lodge and swimming pool, marina, beach, renovated fitness center, walking trails and more. There is no HOA. Cottage owners own their cottages and lease the land. This is how Backwater Landing has the most luxurious and affordable Lake Keowee living on Lake Keowee. There is a monthly regime that includes landscaping maintenance, private gated community, gates up keeping, sewer, trash service, pool, clubhouse, walking trails, fitness center, lighting and more. This is a private gated community. The gate is monitored with no public access. Entry requires agent representation. No rentals allowed less than a 12-month term. A modified tax structure adds to the savings of this remarkable Lake Keowee cottage. Please ask about the land lease, boat slip rentals, and further details as the developer anticipates the thirty new boat slips (now onsite) to be rentable soon, once work is completed to prepare them for use.
