404 N Lake Drive

This mountain home is in the Northwest corner of South Carolina in a 1920’s resort that looks like you arrived to drop your kid at camp. This gated community was chartered around 1923 in the Mountains of South Carolina. Didn’t know South Carolina had Mountains?

Well yes, now you do. There are 2 lakes: one for swimming with a dock in the middle and platform to swim out to, roped off with buoys and a smooth sand beach. The other lake for fishing only, no motorized boats.

Just leave your boat, kayak, or paddle boat right there on the side. Everyone has their last name painted on them. This house comes with a Jon boat.

There is a par three golf course that used to be a pasture a long time ago, 2 hard tennis courts, a basketball goal and half court, and a community lodge for gatherings, picnics, socials, and church. Fireworks every July 4th and a parade. Almost everyone has a golf cart and there are only about 40 homes all together.

It is gated and the road to enter is hidden. Most of the homes here are inherited or bought from each other so this is a rare opportunity. This house has a massive stone fireplace towering 2 stories tall in the great room.

The handrail all the way up the stairs and across the 2nd floor balcony has a wonderful handcrafted bent willow rail original and extremely secure. Ever heard your grandmother talk about going to bed in the summer on the sleeping porch? This cottage has 2.

Yes, a 2 story sleeping porch. Must see to believe. There are 4 bedrooms and one bathroom.

Home has been emptied and cleaned out. The appliances and all the fixtures in the kitchen and the bathroom have been removed for the next owner to update. The water line is new and underground.

This community is next to where Greenville Water gets the water for all the surrounding areas so this community has city water which is quite rare in our mountains. The water is included in the quarterly regime of $430 only 4 times a year. This covers common areas and grass upkeep for those places, the tennis courts, the lakes maintenance, the electric entry gate, the lodge, and many other things found in the Property owners info that your agent has.

The price offered is for house as is and is the same price as what a similar lot would sell for here if there were any left. Lot size is almost an acre .75.

This was a summer cottage built in 1929 when there was no air conditioning when residents escaped to the mountains for cool nights and a lake for daytime. Cottage has only wood fireplace for heat. The Mountain Lake Colonies Community lodge has Sunday services Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Kids make lifelong friendships here and some even find their future spouses. This cabin is within 15 minutes of 3 state parks: Table Rock State Park, Caesars Head State Park, and Jones Gap State Park. Just 10 minutes away from the convenience store and just 15 minutes to closest grocery store.
