Tract 1 = 11.72 acres located along the shoreline of the upper end of Lake Wateree. This tract is located down a long, winding, gravel road that eventually turns into a shared private drive. The septic permit is approved and a new survey is complete for a speedy closing. No HOA or minimum building square footage! A small knoll provides an ideal homesite with distant views of Lake Wateree in the background. Most of the pines were removed years ago, leaving mature oaks along the hillsides and drains. The additional acreage offers plenty of room for recreational enjoyment, privacy, and seclusion. Proximity to Charlotte and Columbia, also makes the general location appealing. The upper end of Lake Wateree is fairly undeveloped, quiet, and scenic providing an excellent area to live and enjoy a low-key rural lifestyle.
Disclosure: This lot does not have a Duke Energy issued Dock Permit.
Restrictions: Primary residence must be stick-built on-site, no mobiles, no mods.
Directions: (Debutary Road access no longer exists from River Road, so the only access is from Catawba Rd, so GPS Catawba Rd to get to the correct end of Debutary Rd). From US Hwy 21, take Catawba Road to Debutary Road, continue past the cul-de-sac through the gate, and take Debutary Road (signage may say "Private Drive" at the gate, proceed anyway), look for signs on both sides of Debutary Road indicating the tracts available.
