The Keowee Life awaits you at 116 Rollingwood Dr. Live it. Love it. Lake It! This beauty is nearly new at only 4 months old, so you can move right in and not waste any time or headache remodeling or making repairs. Big water views are the backdrop for entertaining family and friends in the protected swimming waters of the deep-water cove. A long flat driveway leads to a 3-car garage where the owner currently uses the third bay as her art studio. There is a 4th bay garage, long in depth, at the back of the home. One could drive a car around the right side of the home to that bay if needed, making the terrace level a true separate living space if one needed to accommodate aging parents or college kids. There is a space there for the golf cart as well. The Master bedroom is currently being used by the owners as a sunroom as the owners chose one of the other 2 bedrooms on the main level to use as their bedroom. Dormer windows adorn the three bedrooms on the main level adding to the character and enchanting feeling of the home. On the other side of the living room there are two bedrooms joined by a beautiful all-tile jack and jill bathroom with two sinks. One of the bedrooms makes for a perfect office. Out on the massive screen porch is an outdoor kitchen perfect for grilling out with your significant other or entertaining in the fall hanging out by the fireplace. Three fireplaces hallmark the property and are all equipped to be gas or electric. The full kitchen on the terrace level features leathered granite countertops and a large island for gathering. There are two enormous bedrooms and two full bathrooms with beautiful tile work. A flex space that can be used for a workout room, a future theater room, or extra sleeping, a second laundry room and more storage complete this space. The outdoor living patio is dried in space making it completely usable whenever desired. There is not shortage of outdoor living space! The wide golf cart path makes for quick access to the zero-entry gangway to the hip and a half dock. The owners are on the dock nearly every evening. Harbor Oaks is a beautiful subdivision located centrally on the lake, across from The Lighthouse restaurant, and about a 15-minute drive to Seneca. This home is ready for your memories!

Come see the perfect lakefront property to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. This very gently sloping 1.27 acre Green Zone (No dock permit) lakefront lot on Lake Hartwell is located a short distance from Interstate I-85 in Townville, SC. It offers 100 feet of beach frontage perfect for wading, swimming, fishing or simply taking in the western view as the sun sets over the lake. This "hook-lot", which in this case is defined as a lot having the same owner divided by seldom traveled Meredith Lake Road, a narrow country road which dead ends 14 parcels beyond this lot, ergo lightly traveled. Visit the property and experience the tranquility for yourself. Look out over the lake, walk the property and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. See for yourself. This is a beautiful property waiting for that special touch to make it your own. Opportunities abound! No HOA and limited County Zoning requirements. Drop your trailer and set up camp using the sheds for storage. Pull a permit and build your dream house; OR reposition the two (2) large "storage" buildings and create one DIY tiny-house on the lake side; OR reposition one (1) storage building on the lake side and one (1) on the upper lot. This is truly a unique setting offering a variety of development opportunities . Enjoy this property as it is or take this property to the next level. As one of my realtor friends said, this part of Lake Hartwell is "the best kept secret on Hartwell"! Prepare your meals at the camp or travel minutes away to have breakfast or buy provisions. If you want to dine out, hop onto I-85 N to Exit 14 and sample the Galley Restaurant at Portman Marina; travel another 5 miles to Anderson's Main Street for a variety of dining choices. Launch your boat at The Weldon Island Recreational Area a short 4 miles from 174 Meredith Lake Road (Note: Don't stop at the first entry, it is typically closed-the second and third entrances have boat ramps). Come see this property at 174 Meredith Lake Road! You won't regret the drive and you'll fall in love with it.
