Tucked away at the end of a quiet, wooded gravel road, this secluded waterfront property offers the perfect escape from the everyday hustle. Recently cleared, the lot now reveals an abandoned cottage resting right on the peaceful shores of the Upper Simmonsville Reservoir. While swimming and boating are not permitted, fishing (catch and release) is allowed, providing a truly undisturbed experience especially with only one other cottage on the entire lake. Whether you're seeking a private summer retreat, a unique restoration project, or a long-term buy-and-hold investment, this property offers rare potential for those looking to carve out their own little slice of serenity. Electricity is available; all other utilities and improvements are the responsibility of the buyer. Buyers must perform their own due diligence. A signed Indemnity Waiver is required prior to property access. Don't miss this chance to secure a peaceful getaway in a quiet, natural setting.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
