This private oasis is tucked away on 2.43 acres of beautiful hardwoods adjacent to 400+ acres of Clemson University Forestry. Lovingly maintained, this property has been curated and home to the Nicholas family for over 50 years.

Off to the left is a sophisticated study with paneled walls, built in book shelves and a large picture window framing views of the rear property. The kitchen is adjoined by a restful den with direct access to the formal dining room and the screened in porch. Start and end your day with coffee and cocktails in this house favorite space. Accented with hanging coach lanterns and featuring screened door entry from both sides. Relax in the midst of nature with the lake as your backdrop.
