Gone are the days when the outdoors was the place for fun thanks to todays technology. Or so you thought. Not here on Lake Cheohee a 42 acre private lake nestled in the scenic foothills of Tamassee, SC the “Place of the Sunlight of God”. This is the place to come and unplug and unwind. Remember when you were a child and the family would load up in that trusty ole’ station wagon and head to the lake cabin for some fun. It’s easy to imagine you and your family entertaining in a game of volleyball, badminton, horseshoes, taking a cool dip in the lake or grilling the catch of the day. You don’t have to venture out further than your back yard to feel at one with nature. With 86,000 acres of the Sumter National Forest as your backdrop. You always said someday you would own a place like that. Well that day has come.
Rustic cabin get-a-way on small private lake. Beautiful views of mountains from lake. Open loft bedroom with 1/2 bath, one bedroom downstairs, full bath down. Will leave most of furniture to future owner. Comes with small aluminum boat, trolling motor, battery. Leaving lawnmower, and other tools and material in outbuilding. Awesome screen porches to relax on. Exposed ceiling beams. Great family and pet community.
