Tucked into a peaceful cove on Lake Hartwell, this is the kind of place you come to slow down, breathe deeper, and actually enjoy the lake—without the noise and traffic of the main channel.
Our cove is a hidden gem: calm water, minimal boat traffic, and perfect for relaxing days on the water. Pontoon boats are common and work great here, making it easy to cruise, float, and enjoy everything Lake Hartwell has to offer.
Start your mornings with coffee watching the sun rise over the lake, spend your afternoons kayaking or peddle boating right from the shoreline, and wind down at the firepit as the sun sets through the trees.
What you’ll love:
– Quiet, private cove setting (no heavy boat traffic)
–Level lot with easy walk to the lake
– Pontoon-friendly water access
– Kayaks & lake toys included
– Firepit + firewood
– Peaceful views perfect for unwinding
About the water:
Lake levels on Lake Hartwell fluctuate throughout the year. Our home sits in a cove that is currently on the shallower side, which makes it ideal for kayaking, floating, and safe, calm water enjoyment. Pontoon boats navigate the cove comfortably, and deeper water is just a short ride away.
Perfect for:
– Families with kids
– Couples wanting a quiet escape
– Kayaking & paddleboarding
– Anyone looking to unplug and recharge
Not ideal for:
– Large wake boats or high-speed watercraft directly at the property
If you’re looking for a peaceful lake experience—with the flexibility to get out and explore deeper water when you want—you’ll love it here. We are located on the Ga side of the lake right off hwy 85. 1 hr from Clemson University and 1hr 15 mins from UGA.
The nearest boat ramp is the Mary Ann Branch Boat Ramp in Hartwell Ga.
