Beautiful Lake Greenwood is a 11,400-acre body of dam-controlled fresh water touching on the Counties of Greenwood, Laurens and Newberry. Whether you want the perfect primary residence, second home, weekend retreat or investment land, Lake Greenwood is still priced more favorably than other area lakes.
Why? We are not right next to a major metropolitan area (although we have great amenities). Two roadways and 2 train tressels cross the lake, therefore limiting access to the full length of the lake by larger/taller boats, e.g., cabin cruisers & tall sailboats. Ski-boats, small fishing boats and sailboats, and the ever-popular pontoon/deck boat with bimini top have no problem with approx. eight foot clearance at the lake's highest level. The recreational boater's delight!
Lake Greenwood is part of a 1,160-mile watershed coming down from the mountains and every fall, the lake is typically lowered down about 4 feet from its high pool level (439' above sea level). In some of the coves, the water draws down to where there may not be boating water at the shoreline, giving those folks the opportunity to easily work on seawalls, docks etc. during the winter months of Dec. and Jan. In Feb., the lake refill begins again and is at full pool on or before April 15--just in time for a wonderful spring/summer/fall!
Whether you have "year-round" water or not, property on Lake Greenwood is a terrific and comparatively affordable option. We currently have lower-than-normal lake levels due to drought, but apparently our lake is doing well by comparison with many other lakes that are down by up to 15ft+! If you are "lake shopping," save Lake Greenwood for last. You will be excited and convinced. It is a great place to invest, a fun place to play and lovely place to live, whether you want a full-time or part-time paradise. Build or buy your dream home in numerous new or established subdivision communities, or chose none. Buy land now for later with no timeline to build. Unlike many area lakes, Lake Greenwood does not have Army Corps-restricted building set-backs for your home (several hundred feet at many lakes, but only 50' here) and docks are permitted (except in designated critical habitat zones--typically, but not solely, at the tips of coves).
Public lake access is available through 2 public boat ramps and 1000-acre Lake Greenwood State Park, plus several pay-for ramps dotted around the lake, but wouldn't you rather STAKE YOUR CLAIM and enjoy the intriguing and ever-changing view that lakefront living provides? With 220+ miles of shoreline, there are homes to fit every budget and neighborhoods to fit every style. The shores are a fabulous kaleidoscope of color in the fall and the lake's cool, clean waters are a magnet for swimmers and skiers in the summer. Like to fish? Great fishing- striped, hybrid, white and large mouth bass, crappie, brim (bream), catfish & perch! Fishing and boating are year-round. Welcome to Paradise.
