Discover an exceptional opportunity to own nearly 30 acres of beautiful Upstate South Carolina land, offering a rare combination of mature hardwoods, usable terrain, established infrastructure, and versatile improvements. Whether you're envisioning a private homestead, multi-generational property, recreational retreat, or investment opportunity, this remarkable tract offers the space, flexibility, and natural beauty to bring your vision to life.
The property features a stunning mix of gently rolling and flat, terraced terrain, with expansive areas of minimal undergrowth that make much of the acreage easily walkable and enjoyable to explore. Towering hardwoods, multiple potential homesites, and a spring-fed creek create a peaceful, private setting with plenty of room to expand, explore, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Multiple gravel driveways provide convenient access throughout the property, including a separate gated entrance to the existing improvements. One road leads down to the creek, where a heavy-duty wooden bridge provides access to the back portion of the acreage, opening up even more possibilities for future use and enjoyment. Existing improvements add tremendous versatility and value to the property. A 40-foot shipping container provides substantial storage space and is connected to a separate electrical meter that also supplies 100-amp service to a completely rehabbed 38-foot, 2-bedroom camper. The camper features an efficient mini-split system and sits beneath a spacious 50' x 24' carport, creating a functional setup for guests, parking, recreational use, additional living space, or future projects. The property also includes a remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath mobile home, currently occupied by a long-term tenant, offering potential rental income while you plan the property's future. And the location is hard to beat! Just a little over 3 miles from the crystal-clear, cool waters of Lake Jocassee, fed by Appalachian Mountain rivers and nestled within the breathtaking Jocassee Gorges. Lake Jocassee has been recognized by National Geographic as one of the 50 World's Last Great Places. Head in the opposite direction just over 3 miles and you'll find the pristine waters of Lake Keowee. From boating, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and camping to simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the Upstate, this property puts an incredible array of outdoor adventures right at your fingertips. Whether you're seeking an investment opportunity, recreational retreat, private homestead, or a place to bring your vision to life, this exceptional property offers nearly 30 acres of usable land, established access, versatile improvements, and natural beauty in an incredible location near Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee.
