215 Nature Lane

This lakefront cottage on Nature Lane in Mountain Rest offers an exceptional opportunity as a turnkey retreat within a gated Blue Ridge Mountain community. The fully furnished cabin transitions seamlessly from a peaceful primary residence to a high-potential short-term rental, defined by its warm wood interiors and a sun-drenched, open-concept floor plan. The heart of the home is a spectacular sunroom that frames panoramic vistas of the water and forest, providing an ideal sanctuary for quiet reflection or hosting guests. Functional updates, including fresh paint and modern fixtures, enhance the main-level living spaces, while the versatile loft above offers a flexible footprint for a home office or extra guest quarters. Adding to the home's practicality, a detached storage shed on the property provides the perfect space for stowing lake gear, tools, or seasonal decor. The property is defined by a deep connection to the outdoors, featuring an expansive wraparound porch that leads directly to a private dock. Lake Chattooga is closed to the public, and as such, the water remains remarkably quiet and pristine, offering a level of privacy that is increasingly rare. The 0.36-acre wooded lot offers a sense of deep mountain seclusion while remaining strategically positioned for both convenience and adventure. You are just fifteen minutes from the grocery stores and charm of downtown Walhalla, thirty minutes from the shopping and dining of Seneca, and only forty-five minutes from the excitement of Clemson University. For those traveling from the city, the property is a little over an hour from Greenville and just two hours from Atlanta. The location serves as a premier gateway to the region’s most iconic natural wonders. Within minutes, you can access world-class hiking and over thirty breathtaking waterfalls. The home sits at the center of the regions three-lake trifecta, and is located just twenty minutes from Lake Keowee and thirty minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Lake Jocassee and the Jocassee Gorges. Cultural excursions are equally accessible, with the luxury boutiques and fine dining of Highlands and Cashiers, North Carolina. The vibrant arts scene of Asheville just an hour and a half drive. With exceptionally low HOA fees of only $300 per year and a layout optimized for vacation income, this property strikes a rare balance between a tranquil personal harbor and a savvy real estate investment!
