This cottage is move-in-ready, has FULL-TIME capacity, comes with the majority of the furniture, golf cart, new HVAC, large waterfront yard space, a finished loft, hardwood floors and more! A new stainless refrigerator, oven and built-in microwave have all just been installed! If you are looking for a low maintenance retreat, full time residence or a lakefront getaway, this is it! Cottage 74 is a must see. A direct waterfront cottage, at this price, with over 1,100 square feet, a finished loft, full-time capacity and no lakeview obstructions is very rare. The cottage is only steps away from the lakefront walking path that goes around the neighborhood peninsula. This established community offers many amenities. They include a fabulous lakefront lodge and swimming pool, marina, beach, renovated fitness center, walking trails and more. There is no HOA. Cottage owners own their cottages and lease the land. This is how Backwater Landing has the most luxurious and affordable Lake Keowee living on Lake Keowee. There is a $662 monthly regime for 2025 that includes land lease, landscaping maintenance, private gated community, gates up keeping, pool, clubhouse, walking trails, fitness center, lighting and more. There is no HOA, the monthly fees vary for each buyer based on their specific usage. Monthly fees vary based on services such as boat slip rental, storage unit usage, and whether the owner is a full-time or part-time resident. For a full fee breakdown and service list, please contact your real estate agent about the fees structure. This is a private gated community. The gate is monitored with no public access. Entry requires agent representation. No rentals allowed less than a 12-month term. A modified tax structure adds to the savings of this remarkable Lake Keowee cottage. This cottage could be a full-time residence as it is on a single septic. Please ask about the land lease, boat slip rentals, and further details as the developer anticipates thirty new boat slips (now onsite) to be rentable very soon! Schedule your private tour today.
