Land with Home for Sale in Fair Play, South Carolina

Rarely does a property offer a natural setting quite like this. Tucked among mature hardwoods and dramatic natural rock formations, this custom-built home was designed specifically around a spectacular 25-foot-wide natural rock waterfall, with the home positioned just 10 feet from the falls so the sights and soothing sound of cascading water become part of everyday life. The setting feels remarkably like a private mountain retreat, yet is conveniently located in the Upstate with quick access to I-85 at Exit 4 and an easy commute to Anderson, quick access to Atlanta, and surrounding areas. The property includes two lots totaling 2.56 acres, along with two platform docks offering Lake Hartwell access. While current drought conditions have affected the cove's water level, the lake provides an additional recreational amenity when levels return to normal. Inside, the thoughtfully designed floor plan offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, with two distinct living areas, each featuring a full-size kitchen, dining area, living room, primary bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet. One side also includes an additional room that could function as an office or second bedroom. A spacious central gathering room connects both sides of the home and includes a half bath, creating an ideal shared space while maintaining privacy for each living area. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows along the rear of the home capture breathtaking views of the waterfall and surrounding natural setting from both sides. Although currently designed for multigenerational living, the home was constructed with load-bearing walls along the perimeter, allowing for relatively straightforward and cost-effective reconfiguration to accommodate future needs. Each side features a private covered deck, while the lower level offers a large covered patio overlooking the falls, complete with an outdoor kitchen and wood-burning stove, creating an extraordinary setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the sounds of nature. The basement level includes a separate studio apartment with a full bathroom and kitchenette, offering additional living space, guest accommodations, or potential rental use. A large shop/storage area on the lower level includes its own full bathroom and provides tremendous flexibility for hobbies, equipment, or additional workspace. Outdoor features include illuminated waterfall accents, abundant privacy, a circular driveway, and additional parking areas; the larger covered deck has automatic retractable screens and reinforcement for a hot tub; the right-hand side suite also offers heated flooring. A truly one-of-a-kind property where the waterfall, natural rock formations, and surrounding hardwoods take center stage, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy a mountain-inspired retreat while remaining close to the conveniences of Upstate South Carolina.
