About this property

Lake House Overlooking Hartwell, Campus, and the Clemson Experimental Forest


*Game weekends for 2026 are open. Message with questions. Minimum Game weekend rental is $5,000.

Completed in 2022, 591 Tree Cat Trail is a five bedroom, five and a half bathroom home located in a secluded cove on Lake Hartwell next to Clemson University. Situated on a wooded hilltop, this home gives you a private mountain house feel with view of campus. Amenities such as a grocery store (Aldi), restaurants (Starbucks, Tipsy Taco, Five Guys, Lakeside Lodge’s Traditions, etc.), and shops (Marshalls, Five Below, Ulta, Mr. Knickerbockers, etc.) are a one-stoplight drive from the house. Across the cove from the house is the undeveloped Clemson Experimental Forest, providing peaceful views where it is common to hear turkeys gobble, spot nesting blue herons, and watch bald eagles catch fish. Once you leave the cove by boat, you will see Clemson’s campus, football stadium, and the big water of Lake Hartwell. The Clemson Marina is located outside of the cove as well and offers a restaurant, bar, and boat rental services. Fall is filled with the sights and sounds of football while spring has baseball, softball, and crew team races. Summer is all about enjoying the water and exploring beautiful Lake Hartwell. This home has a two story, max-size dock that can hold two guest boats plus two guest jet skis. The dock sits in deep water, so no matter the lake level, you are able to enjoy swimming, boating, and relaxing.

Why they chose this property

This home is a five year project to build a vacation spot that can be used every season. It is a lake house, a mountain retreat, and a home base for Clemson events. There is a relaxing view of a quite cove and the Clemson Experimental Forest with Clemson University over to the right. You can hear football practice in the fall and watch crew practice in the spring. Summer is for swimming and boating off the dock. Athletic events are easy to access so you have less time in traffic and more time enjoying your day.
