6 Bedroom House in Seneca

We fell in love with this house because it is very secluded, yet close to everything. Roughly 3 miles by boat from Clemson and Death Valley (about six miles by car), and a similar distance to all the big stores in Seneca, directly on a quiet small cove on Lake Hartwell. Serene and peaceful, it boasts over an acre and a half of pristine woodland and is directly across the Keowee River from the Clemson Experimental forest where there will never be houses. There are three docks on property, the largest one with the roof was installed new in July of 2021 and two newer "rollaways" to chase changing water levels. Most of the year, the sun rises directly over the lake and the views from the second story deck, master bedroom, and downstairs bedroom are absolutely spectacular on clear mornings.
The main house was renovated in late 2020 / early 2021 with the removal of popcorn ceilings and old wallpaper, brand new kitchen appliances, huge new TVs (including an 82" 4K in the great room/dining room), front load washer/dryer, new mattresses and linens, dual hood grill, ceiling fans, bathroom fixtures, paint, etc - before putting it on the market for rentals. For most renters, the highlight is the great/dining room with a massive 13' long bespoke oak table and huge windows overlooking the water. The attached screened in gazebo (directly off the breakfast nook, with benches and a large table) is ideal for quiet work, reading, or just sipping wine and listening to the sounds of the woods and the lake at night. Multiple decks with rocking chairs and tables, as well as the fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs make for a great place to relax and catch up with friends and family.
In May of 2021, the upstairs and downstairs of the three level detached garage was professionally renovated to allow for two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, second laundry area, and a kitchenette. Downstairs (below) is a billiards/ entertainment room with 8' oversized Olhausen pool table, huge leather sectional couch, and a massive 85" 4K Samsung TV. In total, the bedrooms are as follows:
1 King Master Bedroom with Bath (upstairs, main house)
1 Queen Bedroom (upstairs, main house)
1 Bedroom with 2 twin beds and 2 trundle pull out twin beds (upstairs, main house)
1 Bedroom with both a King and Queen Bed (downstairs, main house)
1 King Bedroom (new area above garage)
1 Queen Bedroom (new area above garage)
In addition, there is a queen murphy bed in the gameroom (main house) and the foldout sectional in the billiard hall (below garage).
In addition to the three docks on the property, this rental comes with two sit-in kayaks (rated up to 275 lbs), two Stand-Up Paddleboards (adult), several inflatables, and some basic fishing gear for lake exploration (at your own risk, of course). Stand up paddleboards in the quiet of dawn is a nearly religious experience. If you bring your own boat, there is a landing less than 1/2 mile away (at Lawrence Bridge), but you can leave it tied to any the docks.
One negative worth mentioning to everyone is that the property is on an incline to the water, so there are a lot of stairs and the driveway is very steep. If you are unable to negotiate a staircase without a railing, this might not be the best property for you. On one icy occasion (freezing rain), it was completely impassable even with all wheel drive. This is obviously extremely rare for the area, but it is worth mentioning. Please take caution, particularly with the eldery or those who can't traverse stairs.

Summary: Met my extended family here for a long weekend and had a wonderful time! The house and detached garage offered so much space for our family of 16. We enjoyed the pool table room every night and the large table was great for accommodating all of us for meals and games. We enjoyed the dock and lake access as well. We also enjoyed the fire pit at night. The property is close to Clemson and we visited the botanical gardens which is only a 10 minute drive. Steve was very friendly, heloful and quick to respond to any questions we had. Would recommend this property!
