ASK ABOUT THE THIRTY NEW BOAT SLIPS CURRENTLY ONSITE AND BOAT READY! Welcome to Cottage 15 in Backwater Landing, a beautifully updated, fully furnished Lake Keowee retreat offering rare yard space, parking just one cottage away, dual en-suite bedrooms, and a spacious front porch perfect for relaxed lake evenings. Inside, thoughtful upgrades elevate the home, including a custom living room cabinet that conceals a fold-out guest bed for flexible sleeping space. Recent improvements include an expanded primary shower, golf cart pad, a Blackstone grill, new flooring, freshly painted cabinetry, stainless steel and smart appliances, quartz countertops, a fully repainted interior, and an enlarged laundry area. Major system updates include HVAC replaced in 2016, roof replaced in 2020, new hot water heater and plumbing in 2022, and porch repainting in 2026. The golf cart is negotiable. This is a true move-in-ready lake getaway where you can simply arrive and start enjoying Lake Keowee. Backwater Landing is a private, gated lakefront community featuring a lakefront lodge and pool, marina, beach access, renovated fitness center, walking trails, game room, and controlled entry with no public access. Cottage owners own their structures and lease the land, as there is no traditional HOA. The 2026 monthly regime for water-view cottages is $660 per month and includes land lease, landscaping, gate maintenance, pool, clubhouse, fitness center, lighting, and common area maintenance. Monthly costs may vary depending on boat slip rental, storage, and whether the owner resides full-time or part-time. The cottage is served by a shared septic system with neighboring cottages, and full-time residency requires developer approval based on septic capacity. Rentals are permitted for terms of 12 months or longer only. A modified tax structure may offer potential savings. Entry requires agent representation. Please inquire about land lease details, boat slip rentals and waitlist information, and the anticipated timeline for availability of the thirty new boat slips. Schedule your private showing today.
