Property Description
Multi-million dollar panoramic views greet you directly from your lakeside porch! Welcome to Backwater Landing Cottage #30 on Lake Keowee — a stunning, fully renovated direct waterfront cottage that is truly move-in ready. This beautifully updated lakefront retreat makes the perfect second home or weekend getaway. Sold fully furnished with everything you need — flatware, plates, cookware, utensils, and more — you can pack your bags and start enjoying lake life immediately. A major remodel was completed in June 2026, featuring extensive upgrades including: • New solid hardwood floors throughout • New interior paint throughout • Custom tiled master shower with frameless glass enclosure • New plumbing, electrical, and lighting • New cabinetry and countertops • New appliances & Two new TV’s (one not shown in photos) • New furniture and decor (includes outdoor dining table and chairs not shown in photos) Additional highlights include a roof replaced in 2022 and a newer HVAC system. The cottage shows exceptionally well and offers the rare combination of prime waterfront location with easy access — just steps from the parking lot and right beside the path to the boardwalk. It also boasts one of the larger screened front porches in the community, delivering breathtaking panoramic lake views. Backwater Landing is a low-maintenance, private gated community with no public access. Amenities include a fabulous lakefront lodge and swimming pool, marina, beach, fitness center, and walking trails. The regime fee covers landscaping, water (for part-time owners), sewer, trash service, pool, clubhouse, fitness center, outdoor lighting, and more. No short-term rentals are permitted (minimum 12-month lease). This cottage also benefits from a favorable modified tax structure. Please inquire about the land lease details, boat slip rental options, and additional information.
