GAME DAY AT THE LAKE! Welcome to your own cabin-in-the-woods retreat on Lake Hartwell, situated on approximately half an acre with NO HOA and less than 20 minutes from Clemson and just 45 minutes from Greenville! With direct lake access, a covered dock, incredible outdoor living spaces and a separate garage apartment, this property offers a rare combination of lake life, wooded privacy and flexibility. Whether you're searching for a full-time home, Clemson weekend getaway, multigenerational setup or a property with potential for game weekends, Parents Weekend and short-term rental income, this is a setting that's hard to duplicate. Inside, hardwood floors, warm wood accents and a gorgeous wood-planked vaulted ceiling add character to the open-concept main level. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, updated appliances, a large center island and plenty of cabinet and prep space, all open to the living and dining areas. The connection to the outdoors is what makes this home truly special. Outdoor access from every room leads to a wraparound porch, multiple covered decks and a four-seasons room with walls of windows overlooking the wooded setting and lake beyond. Open the glass panels and it converts to a screened porch—perfect for summer evenings and crisp Clemson football weekends. The main-level primary suite offers direct access to the four-seasons room and a private bath with a soaker tub and separate shower, plus space for a stackable washer and dryer. A half bath is conveniently located for guests. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a large recreation room where the pool table stays, plus a bedroom, full bath, flex space and storage. Step outside to another covered deck and follow the paved path through the woods to the lake and your covered dock. And then there's the detached garage with a private apartment above—an incredible bonus featuring its own living area, eat-in kitchen, bedroom and full bath. It's ideal for extended family or weekend guests while also offering potential for additional income. Ample parking makes hosting a crowd easy, while a separate storage building with electricity provides even more usable space. Imagine fall weekends here—Clemson football, a house full of family and friends, mornings overlooking Lake Hartwell, afternoons on the water and evenings gathered on the decks beneath the trees. And when you're not using it yourself, the location creates exciting possibilities for a weekend getaway or potential short-term rental—whether for Clemson game weekends and university events, lake vacations, or an easy escape from Greenville and the surrounding Upstate. This isn't just a lake house—it's the kind of place where entire weekends become traditions.
