Fort Rutledge Point Homes on Lake Hartwell in Seneca, SC

Community Highlights

Fort Rutledge Point is a gated Lake Hartwell shoreline community built around dockable waterfront parcels, deep water, and long views toward Clemson. The setting is anchored by Clemson Marina and Lake Hartwell, with sightlines toward Clemson University, the Clemson Experimental Forest, and Death Valley Stadium. The lots are spacious, ranging from about 30,056 square feet to 203,425 square feet, and the 4.67-acre parcel at 535 Tree Cat Trail sits at the top end of that scale.

The neighborhood reads more like shoreline estate land than a standard subdivision. Several parcels are described as dockable deep-water lots, and one closing included a full-size double-slip dock with jet ski pads plus a deeded enclosed boat-storage unit. The larger acreage sites and the smaller waterfront lots create a visible price spread, from the mid-$200,000s up to a $610,000 closing, with the 4.67-acre parcel leading the set.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Fort Rutledge Point pairs private shoreline with features that matter on the ground: a sandy beach, wildlife trails, and a conservation easement that preserves the natural edge of the community. Water and power were called out during the build-out, along with a paved-road improvement and landscaping work. The result is a low-density waterfront setting where access to the lake is the headline, but the surrounding land remains a major part of the appeal.

The detached home on Landress Drive adds another layer to the neighborhood profile. It sits on nearly 5 acres and brings four bedrooms, four baths, two master suites, fireplaces, a back deck, and a dock, showing that the community supports both custom homes and large lake lots.
