Enjoy the serene, rural lifestyle atop this picturesque hilltop overlooking Lake Wateree. Spanning 40.81 acres, this tract offers a stunning northeastern view of Wateree Creek against a backdrop of rolling hills and wooded terrain. Adjacent to mostly larger tracts of land, this property boasts few neighboring homes, light traffic, and no congestion, providing a tranquil elevated retreat. The absence of an HOA ensures the freedom of land ownership and the many comforts of country living.
