The close proximity to such a rare jewel gives this property the prime location for short term rental, both home and two RV spots give income producing capabilities or simply the ultimate weekend getaway location! The stream bordering the back of the property has native Oconee Bell (Shortia galacifolia) lining the banks...this rare plant only grows in this specific region of the southern Appalachian and is protected in the Jocassee Gorges. This location and home is a rare find indeed!
