A retreat like no other! This private oasis is tucked away on 2.43 acres of beautiful hardwoods adjacent to 400+ acres of Clemson University Forestry. Lovingly maintained, this property has been curated and home to the Nicholas family for over 50 years. As avid members of the Clemson University community, they loved to be this close to all the University has to offer while feeling so secluded from the rest of the world. Enjoy lakefront privacy surrounded by lake and forest views. Numerous paths and trails meander through towering hundred year old Oak, Maple and Sycamore trees. Whether docking up on the main lake or taking a dip in the backside cove, there's fishing, boating and outdoor exploration for years of adventure. This home maintains every bit of personality it had since construction. The beautiful brick laid foyer leads passed the formal dining room into a bright, cheerful living room. Hardwood floors and vintage tile are throughout the main living areas. The large formal living room is made cozy with one of three wood burning fireplaces and unique wood plank ceiling. Off to the left is a sophisticated study with paneled walls, built in book shelves and a large picture window framing views of the rear property.
