Attention Investers. Perfect spot to place pre-fab, mini-home as an Air B&B. Tucked away at the end of a quiet, wooded gravel road, this secluded waterfront property offers the perfect escape from the everyday hustle. Recently cleared, the lot now reveals an abandoned cottage resting right on the peaceful shores of the Upper Simmonsville Reservoir.

Whether you’re seeking a private summer retreat, a unique restoration project, or a long-term buy-and-hold investment, this property offers rare potential for those looking to carve out their own little slice of serenity. Buyers must perform their own due diligence. A signed Indemnity Waiver is required prior to property access. Don’t miss this chance to secure a peaceful getaway in a quiet, natural setting.
