Why Buyers Are Choosing Lake Hartwell

Here's what makes Lake Hartwell one of the most sought-after destinations in the Southeast.

Massive 56,000-Acre Lake

Nearly 1,000 miles of shoreline straddling Georgia and South Carolina — the largest lake in the region by far.

Most Affordable Lakefront

Entry-level waterfront homes start well below other major SC lakes, making Lake Hartwell the value pick for buyers.

Clemson & UGA Country

Nestled between Clemson and the University of Georgia — a paradise for college sports fans and tailgating culture.

Boater's Paradise

Army Corps-managed with excellent public ramps, marinas, and islands — some of the best open-water boating in the Southeast.

National Forest Access

Bordered by Sumter National Forest with hiking trails, camping, and nature preserves within minutes of your dock.

Choose Your State

Buy on the SC side for tax-free Social Security and lower property taxes, or the GA side for different benefits — your choice.
