About This Home

Discover a unique property in Upstate SC's rolling hills! This expansive 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence is situated on one of the highest elevations of this property, offering nearly 14 acres of land that guarantees privacy. 20+ additional acres are available. The property features extensive frontage along a wide inlet of water running down one side and into Lake Hartwell across the road. The current owners enjoy kayaking in this waterway, which leads under a bridge into the lake where a picturesque waterfall can be found nearby.
The highlight of this property is the breathtaking view of the lake, framed by layered mountains in the background. These unobstructed vistas can be appreciated from the main floor, including the living room, kitchen areas, 40-foot covered porch, and primary bedroom. Similarly, on the basement level, two of the four bedrooms, another 40-foot covered porch, and the main living area also capture this magnificent scenery. Each evening, residents are treated to the most beautiful sunsets you've ever seen.
Another potential homesite exist on this property offering the same stunning view after minimal tree clearing. There is a driveway extended down to the water where owners launch their kayaks.
Hunting enthusiasts will enjoy the deer, wild turkey and occasional hog. Owner watches the deer from the covered porch. You can also fish from the back where they put their kayaks in.
The owners have meticulously maintained this home and implemented numerous enhancements. The residence boasts a rustic aesthetic both inside and out. Recent upgrades include a brand-new gas stove/range in the kitchen and an unused Generac whole-house generator ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply. All rooms are generously sized, with the great room, including the kitchen & dining area, measuring 37 feet by 35 feet, creating a beautiful open space that takes advantage of the view.
Additionally, a new building constructed on a concrete pad provides covered parking on both sides for recreational items. Rather than listing all improvements, we invite you to schedule an appointment to experience this exceptional property first-hand.
The house on 34 acres is also for sale at $1,350,000.
