ASK ABOUT THE THIRTY NEW BOATSLIPS! Looking for a direct lakefront cottage on Lake Keowee that’s fully updated, furnished, and ready for immediate enjoyment? Welcome to Cottage 65 at Backwater Landing — a move-in-ready, turnkey property featuring a new hot tub and extensive recent upgrades.
This beautifully renovated home includes all new furniture, engineered hardwood floors, stainless appliances, quartz kitchen and bath countertops, freshly painted cabinetry with new hardware, LED backlit mirrors, modern light fixtures, and a new washer and dryer. The kitchen and baths sparkle with new sinks, faucets, and fixtures, while the loft now features an added staircase for easy access. Other highlights include new porch furniture, a storm door, exterior lighting, and an Arrow transferrable termite bond. The HVAC was new in 2017 and the hot water heater was replaced in 2022, offering peace of mind for years to come.
Designed in a chic, stylish aesthetic, this lakefront cottage is ideal as a low-maintenance retreat, full-time residence, or weekend getaway. Just steps from the lakefront walking path, you’ll love the convenience of being close to the community’s extensive amenities, which include a lakeside lodge and pool, marina, beach, renovated fitness center, and scenic walking trails.
Backwater Landing offers a unique ownership model where owners own their cottages and lease the land, making this one of the most luxurious and affordable ways to live directly on Lake Keowee. The 2025 monthly regime fee of $662 includes the land lease, landscaping maintenance, private gated access, pool, clubhouse, fitness center, lighting, and trail upkeep. Additional costs vary depending on usage, such as boat slip rental, storage, and whether the owner is a full-time or part-time resident. Buyers should consult their agent for a full breakdown of fees and services.
This gated community offers 12-month minimum rental terms and a modified tax structure that adds to the ownership savings. The developer anticipates that the thirty new boat slips, which are already onsite, will be rentable soon once final preparations are complete. The cottage is on a single septic system and is approved for full-time occupancy. Schedule your private tour today and start enjoying luxury lakefront living at its finest.
