If you've been searching for a peaceful escape near the lake-without the cost and upkeep of a full lakefront home-this recently updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage might be the one. Tucked at the edge of a quiet country club, this home offers a rare balance of privacy and access. The backyard opens to shared green space that leads to a semi-public area at the club with a boat ramp, volleyball court, and a wide open lawn perfect for relaxing or connecting with friends. Inside, the home has been remodeled with fresh finishes that blend comfort and charm, making it a great option for full-time living or as a second home. The interior quality and spacious layout stand out compared to other homes in the area, and the lot itself is larger than most-spanning two combined parcels totaling approximately 0.45 acres. This extra space provides both privacy and flexibility for future use or enjoyment. Located within the Hartwell Shores Country Club (HSCC), the property comes with exclusive perks that make it ideal for a vacation home or weekend retreat. HSCC residents enjoy low-maintenance living, a serene environment. Whether you're looking for a laid-back lake retreat, a low-maintenance second home, or a short-term rental investment (ask about the previous year's rental revenue), this move-in-ready cottage offers exceptional value without compromise. Don't miss the chance to own one of the most complete offerings near Lake Hartwell-where quality, space, and opportunity come together.
