About This Home

Welcome to your ultra private Lake Keowee cottage with full time living capability. Cottage 48 is an end unit. End units are very rare and highly sought after. The last private end unit to sell was cottage 46, directly in front of this one. It sold for $395,000 in August of 2023. End units are coveted as they add additional privacy to your lake getaway. Only twelve of the one hundred and thirty-two cottages are end units that are against privacy and not a parking lot or street. Cottage 48 is one of the twelve, but woods and privacy. You need to do absolutely nothing before moving into this cottage that comes completely furnished with a golf cart. NEW ROOF in 2023! NEW HOT WATER HEATER in 2023! NEW WASHER/DRYER in 2023! Cottage number 48 is unique in that it is situated next to the lush landscaping, with a larger than most lawn, has an extra parking pad, a golf cart, beautiful luxury vinyl plank flooring, and zero upgrades needed to move in. You can move right in, just in time to enjoy the Spring and Summer seasons. It has FULL-TIME living as an option for the buyer as it has its own septic tank, making it possible to use as your part-time getaway and in the future become your full-time residence. The assigned parking space for the cottage is right outside the front door and level with very accessible guest parking as well. The layout is very open, roomy, bright and inviting. This makes it an ideal home to become your primary residence if you ever choose. There is a golf cart pad already in place, level yard space for fantastic outdoor living and stunning furnishings inside. Get ready to enjoy the lake immediately! Bring your lake wear! Enjoy the clubhouse and play pool, relax in the library, workout in the recently renovated gym or take a dip in the pool. But don't forget the beach! It's fun to hang out there too! If you are looking for a low maintenance retreat and lake getaway, this is it! This established community offers many amenities mentioned above. They include a fabulous lakefront lodge and swimming pool, marina, beach, fitness room and walking trails. Regime includes landscaping maintenance, private gated community, water, for part-time owners, sewer, trash service, pool, clubhouse, walking trails, fitness center, lighting and more. This is a private gated community. Gate is monitored with no public access. Entry requires agent representation. Cottage 48 has everything you need to make your lake dreams come true. No rentals are allowed with less than a 12-month term. A modified tax structure adds to the savings of this remarkable Lake Keowee cottage. Please ask all agents about the land lease, 2025 new lease fees, boat slip rentals, recent comps, and further details.
