Land for Sale in Seneca, SC

Seneca sits in Oconee County with three lakes around it — Hartwell, Keowee and Jocassee — and the mountains rising behind them. Land here is largely a question of which water a parcel is near, and under whose rules.

  • Lake Keowee parcels, where Duke Energy governs the shoreline and dock permitting
  • Lake Hartwell parcels, where the Corps of Engineers does
  • Wooded mountain tracts north toward Walhalla, Salem and the Jocassee Gorges
  • Farm and pasture ground south and west, and homesites in town on public utilities

US-123 runs through Seneca toward Clemson and Easley, SC-130 climbs north toward Jocassee, and Oconee remains one of the least developed corners of the Upstate. Lake Keowee homes show what has already been built on the water.

An extremely rare opportunity to own an incredible Keowee homesite with no HOA and property ownership all the way to the full pond contour. This site has sweeping views of the main channel, a beautiful western exposure showcasing magnificent sunsets and Blue Ridge Mountain views in the northern view direction. Some site work has already been accomplished with a septic system installed and gravel driveway access midway down the lot. Build your dream house without oversight and interference from a Homeowners Association or Architectural Review Committee, there are no community restrictions on build requirements with minimal deed restrictions of 1400 square feet for a single level home. This lot is the perfect opportunity to build a short term vacation rental in an excellent location a mere 500+/- feet by road from the popular Lighthouse Restaurant, lakeside Cabana Bar, and new Sip & Swing bar and grill with golf virtual simulator. The lot also has quick access to Clemson University with the drive to Death Valley Memorial Stadium right at 20 minutes from this east side of the lake location. Of the 366 miles of Lake Keowee shoreline only 22% of properties are deeded down to the full pond 800 contour line, this is a limited opportunity to own one of these rare lots not subject to the Duke Shoreline Management Plan with lots deeded to the 804 contour. A permit to construct a 28 X 30 covered dock with 35 foot ramp was issued and expired in 2017. New owners could apply for a similar dock configuration or for a double decker dock as there are no community restrictions to comply with, only Duke requirements. An opportunity for this type of lot ownership does not often present itself on Lake Keowee, this is your chance to build your dream, your way!
