384 Lakemont Drive

At 384 Lakemont, the lake life you've longed for is finally at your door. This is a lake home that's actually ready. No projects, no punch list, no contractor's timeline standing between you and the water. Fully furnished, this waterfront retreat is waiting for you. Leave the closing table and head straight to the dock. What makes this home exceptional is unseen in the photos. The builder who designed and constructed this home did it for his own family — this was always meant to be their retreat, and he built it accordingly. He worked with a structural engineer on everything from window placement and natural light to foundation footers well beyond what any code required, because he wasn't building to satisfy an inspection — he was building for his peace of mind. Every behind-the-scenes decision reflects someone who had no reason to cut corners, and every reason not to. Five years later, with only twenty-five stays, this home has had time to prove the quality of its construction without accumulating the wear and tear that time typically brings. With two waterfront lots, a true rarity on Lake Hartwell, you can enjoy deep water from the dock or the sandy beach on the adjoining lot. A custom two-slip dock with boat lift features Trex decking & a stainless steel structure for longevity & stability. The outdoor living is set up & ready; sit by the firepit or lounge on a covered porch. Three barely-used grills convey and an outdoor shower on the lower deck means you'll find little reason to go inside. Winters offer mountain views and a wood-burning outdoor fireplace on the upper porch. Inside, walls of windows keep you connected to the water — the grading of this lot was intentional, capturing the best views year-round. The primary level features a casual dining area with wet bar, mini fridge, & ice chest. The vaulted living room is anchored by a fireplace & overlooks the kitchen, complete with a custom island, a 6-burner Viking range & all the accoutrements. A room off the kitchen can become a butler's pantry or utility space. There's also a powder room on this level for guests. Up a few steps: a primary bedroom w/walk-in closet, en suite, and private observation balcony awaits you. The basement: with 10.5' ceilings and expansive water views, it does NOT feel like most basements. You'll find a den, large laundry room, a second primary bedroom with en suite, a 3rd bedroom, & a 4th bedroom with CUSTOM BUNK BEDS — 2 full beds on one side, 2 twins on the other, adjoined by a staircase. For the second-home owner: full camera coverage including the mechanical room and attic means eyes on what matters. A whole-home surge protector and smart water heater with remote capabilities make ownership simple. A detached garage handles gear and storage. A private driveway serves daily use; a construction road accommodates trailers — together, a natural circular drive. Create a cart path on the second lot for dual water access. No HOA. No short-term rental restrictions. A second lot offering privacy today and optionality tomorrow — keep it, build on it, or sell it. Close to the interstate, far enough from everything else to truly disconnect.
