Property Description

Adorable (and now even more affordable!) Lakefront Cottage with panoramic Lake Keowee views in the gated community of Backwater Landing, where everyday living feels like a vacation! Nestled along the shores of beautiful Lake Keowee, this charming corner cottage offers breathtaking lake views, incredibly low property taxes, and access to one of the most fun and amenity-rich communities in the area. Unlike many neighboring homes, this cottage features a larger yard and convenient proximity to its designated parking space. Relax on the spacious screened-in porch while enjoying peaceful lake breezes and stunning lake views before stepping inside to an inviting open-concept layout designed for comfortable living and easy entertaining. The bright and airy kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, generous prep space with a large peninsula, and an abundance of natural light pouring in through transom windows that perfectly frame the lake views. The seamless flow between the kitchen and living space creates the ideal atmosphere for hosting family and friends after a day on the water. Down the hall, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a private primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the fully finished attic space offers endless flexibility as a guest room, office, hobby space, or additional storage. Enjoy truly low-maintenance living with lawn care, landscaping, water, and trash service all included—giving you more time to enjoy everything this vibrant lake community has to offer. Backwater Landing features lakeside walking trails, a lakefront pool, boat docks, and an inviting lakefront lodge complete with a fitness center, library, billiards room, game room, and large entertaining space with a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Boat slips, tie-up docks, and storage for boats, kayaks, RVs, and trailers are also available to lease. And while it feels tucked away in a peaceful lakeside setting, you’re still just minutes from shopping, dining, Prisma Health, the YMCA, and only 20 minutes from Clemson University — perfect for game days, concerts, and visits to the botanical gardens.
