Set along the quiet shoreline of Lake Hartwell, The Wade Inn is a thoughtfully reimagined lakefront retreat where a sense of peace greets you the moment you arrive. The owner has meticulously designed, renovated, and outfitted this stunning turnkey home, which can be offered fully furnished if desired. Tucked within a peaceful cove and surrounded by mature trees, the property offers a rare sense of privacy while remaining just moments from the charm and convenience of Hartwell. Here, life unfolds at a slower pace, with mornings on the water, afternoons spent entertaining, and evenings gathered beneath the open sky. Lake levels fluctuate seasonally, with the dock at full pool accommodating boats with less than 3ft of draft, often suitable for a pontoon boat, fishing boat, smaller power boat, kayaks, and swimming from spring through fall. In winter, it is still easy to walk a kayak to the water from the dock. Marina is very close by for boat storage, slip rental, or daily boat rentals. Inside, the home reveals a refined yet welcoming interior, anchored by an expansive kitchen with dual islands, stacked refrigerators and freezers, a gas stove, dual sinks, and more. The open-concept living, dining, kitchen, and sunroom spaces are filled with natural light, while large windows frame tranquil lake and wooded views, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Three of the four, or potentially five, bedrooms are truly primary-suite caliber, with two suites flanking the main house and a detached honeymoon suite connected by exterior decking. The fourth bedroom is a four-bed bunk room served by a full hall bath. Designed for both intimate stays and larger gatherings, the home also features a fully equipped game room that can function as a fifth sleeping space, with direct access to the outdoor living areas through a garage-style opening. Trex decking wraps around the property, from the front porch to the side deck, grilling deck, and rear decks, creating multiple distinct yet connected spaces to enjoy. After a day on the water, walk up from the Trex dock to enjoy bocce, horseshoes, and a firepit in the private backyard. At the water's edge, a newly constructed dock extends the living experience outward, offering a private setting for boating, swimming, or simply enjoying the stillness of the cove. The setting is equally suited for quiet reflection or lively weekends with family and friends. Located within easy reach of both Athens and Clemson, the street offers a balanced mix of full-time residences and refined second homes. A place to gather, retreat, and return to, The Wade Inn is truly a turnkey opportunity, whether you want to enjoy it personally or continue sharing it as a rental. Phenomenal booking reviews have been earned time and again.
