Welcome to Lake Summit
The Jewel of the Appalachians
TM
PROPERTY FOR SALE
Incredible opportunity on Lake Summit to build your dream home and boathouse. Held in the Freeman family for over 70 years, this lake property is now available for the first time on the open market. The .41 acres of land offers an exceptionally large 140 feet of waterfront midway down quiet Windy Wood Cove. Enjoy excellent access from both North Lake Summit Road and from the rear driveway on Summit View Lane. The house could be made usable, but most would consider it a tear-down. The house was damaged in the November 2024 hurricane and has a small section of roof covered in a tarp. The rear parking shed structure also succumbed to the hurricane and has collapsed. Additional garage/storage on N. Lake Summit Road. Improvements on the property are of little to no value. Due to the age of the structure, no septic on file with the county. Water is from the Lake Summit water system/City of Saluda. House has 3 small bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths on the main floor along with a kitchen, large open living/dining area all with oak floors and knotty pine walls, and a large screened side porch. On the lower level, there is a den or bedroom with a full bath along with a large covered porch. The parking area is just behind the house. Additional parking and a garage/storage room can be accessed on the lake road below. Just down the rock stairs, you’ll find the private waterfront area with a sitting area and rock wall along the shore. With 140 feet of waterfront, imagine the boathouse you could build here! (The former boathouse fell into the lake a number of years ago, but a portion of the dock remains, currently underwater and unattached). This lake property is ready to be taken to another level. Bring your vision and turn this remarkable setting into your Lake Summit dream home and boathouse. Give me a call to schedule a site visit. Property being sold "As Is".
This listing includes:
2 parcels (upper lot & waterfront) totaling approximately .41 acres
140 feet of waterfront
Don’t miss out on this incredible Lake Summit opportunity and start making your Lake Summit memories!

On the western end of the lake and along the headwaters of the Green River; Camps Greystone, Green Cove, Mondamin, and Falling Creek have long histories as great summer camps.

TESTIMONIALS
"Jim is one of a kind. I am convinced he is the only one that could have gotten it done. There is not a single detail that he does not take care of. He makes the process smooth, and I could not be more pleased!
I would never use another realtor."
Tania (Lake Summit Seller)
"When we decided for age and distance reasons that it was time to sell our Lake Summit home, we knew that Jim was the person to lead us through the process. We had owned our house for more than 30 years and it was a tough decision.
Jim has a special talent in that he picks up on all the positives about a home and subtly translates them into a written description that is worthy of a Pulitizer Prize. In addition, he handles the negatives in a manner that removes them as issues. He also provided excellent advice on how best to prepare our home for showing. Throughout the entire process, he always kept us informed on progress including any negatives that had to be dealt with. His assistance on setting the price was not only right but profitable.
On a scale of 1 to 10, he is at least a 20!!!
