A Rare Lakefront Retreat on Historic Lake Lanier – Fully Renovated & Ready to Enjoy Opportunities like this come along once in a great while: a fully updated lakefront home on one of the Upstate’s most exclusive and storied private lakes—with a spacious, flat yard that gently meets the water’s edge. Set on just over half an acre with sweeping lake and mountain views, this 3BR/2BA home offers the kind of effortless lake living that’s increasingly hard to find. Lake Lanier, known for its rich 100 year history, natural beauty, and tight-knit community, offers over 100 acres of privately accessed water perfect for pontoon cruises, kayaking, paddle boarding, jet skiing or quiet fishing. Here, you’ll enjoy your own private dock, dual jet ski ports, and a boathouse—ready to launch into long, sun-soaked afternoons on the water. Inside, the well-flowing layout brings the lake indoors with big windows, clean lines, and a seamless flow to the large deck from several locations—ideal for gathering with friends or savoring quiet mornings. Thanks to a long list of extensive updates and improvements made by the sellers, including a new roof, septic drain field, encapsulated crawl space with drainage and dehumidifier, new siding and decking, EV charger, new windows, updated lighting and more—this home is fully prepped and turn-key. No to-do lists. Just lake days. Both the detached 2-car garage and large out building offer flexibility for vehicles or storage, while the wide, flat front and back yards provide rare space for pets, gardens, or play—all just minutes from the equally charming and historic downtowns of Landrum and Tryon and within an hour from both Greenville, SC and Asheville, NC. Also, with the Saluda Grade Trail set to become a national destination for outdoor enthusiasts nearby, this location is well positioned for growing more desirable. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence or a private retreat, this one-of-a-kind property on Lake Lanier offers the best of both worlds: modern comfort, natural beauty, and a true sense of place—ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive.
