Situated at 125 and 135 Seneca River Rd in Seneca, SC, this unique 6.81-acre property offers an exceptional opportunity for investors, developers, entrepreneurs—and even families—seeking a versatile piece of land in a prime location. Just one mile from Lake Hartwell and less than three miles from Clemson University, the setting combines convenience, accessibility, and strong growth potential. The property features a gently sloping, mostly level landscape, making it ideal for a wide range of possibilities—from student housing and long- or short-term rentals to boat storage or other income-producing ventures. At the same time, it would make a wonderful homesite for a family looking to enjoy a spacious, beautiful property with close access to the lake for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Included on the property is a 1,770-square-foot brick home built in 1979, complete with a full, unfinished basement. The structure offers solid construction and “great bones, ” providing a strong foundation for renovation or repurposing. However, the home has never been updated and will require significant improvements. Exterior work is needed, including repairs or replacement of boxing, fascia boards, gutters, shingles, windows, and exterior trim painting. Inside, the home is ready for a full update, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, new flooring, and fresh paint throughout. Beyond the property itself, the location is a standout feature—offering convenient access to regional and international airports, as well as nearby mountains, lakes, rivers, hiking trails, and waterfalls. The area also provides easy access to major sporting events and the vibrant energy of a college town. Whether you’re looking to renovate, redevelop, build an investment portfolio, or create a private family retreat near the lake, this property presents a rare chance to capitalize on location, acreage, and potential all in one. This home will be sold in AS-IS condition.
