Seasoned short-term rental investors know the “must-haves,” and this property checks every single box. But this property is about much more than short-term rental potential. If your idea of the perfect lake property is a peaceful, quiet place to build a small cabin, park your Class A RV or camper, or simply escape the noise and crowds, this property checks those boxes too. It offers the rare combination of privacy, mountain views, lake access, and the freedom to make the property your own. Located within what’s known as a “Golden Triangle,” the property sits at the intersection of multiple major tourist-draw lakes, mountain towns, waterfall hikes, and Clemson University. It’s also within approximately two hours of Asheville, Atlanta, Greenville, Columbia, and Charlotte—putting an enormous year-round guest base within easy reach. Then there are the property-specific features that make this one especially difficult to duplicate: massive mountain views, lake frontage, 1.25 acres, and two dock permits. The property was originally comprised of two separate lots and could easily be re-subdivided into two parcels should the new owner choose to do so, adding yet another layer of flexibility and potential value. And perhaps most importantly for an investor looking to create something truly unique: NO HOA. NO zoning of any sort. NO restrictions. There is a lake association with an annual fee of just $150, which goes toward raising and lowering the lake, stocking the lake, and ongoing lake maintenance. You get the benefits of a well-maintained lake without the restrictions and headaches of an HOA. The owner has already invested substantially in the property’s infrastructure and site preparation, including construction of a massive all-boulder retaining wall creating a substantial usable area for parking and/or a building pad. City water has been tapped to the property, power is in place, and the existing 1,000-gallon septic system has a newly installed leach field. Adding even more value, a new ATV-drivable trail has just been completed through the property, leading down to the additional build sites and lake frontage. The trail is established through a shared easement with the neighboring property, which benefits both owners and will convey with the sale. The site is currently approved for a camper, RV, or tiny house on wheels, providing an immediate use while leaving the door open for something much more ambitious. For the short-term rental investor, imagine a treehouse, geodesic dome, glamping site, or one-of-a-kind mountain retreat perched above the lake and surrounded by massive mountain views. There is plenty of parking, along with an additional 3–4 build sites throughout the acreage, all with mountain views. Whether you envision a quiet lake cabin, a place to bring your Class A RV or camper, a private family retreat, or multiple unique accommodations, the property gives you the freedom to create it. This isn't simply lakefront land with a pretty view. The infrastructure, site work, access, flexibility, location, and development potential are already here. The question is what you choose to create.
