Marking the dramatic threshold of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Jocassee Gorges is an escarpment near South Carolina’s northern border where the terrain climbs 2000 feet within just a few miles. National Geographic magazine named Jocassee Gorges one of its 50 “Destinations of a Lifetime”, noting the wilderness location’s “views of spectacular waterfalls and large concentrations of rare plants.” Some 43,000 acres of this unique and diverse land are in a protected management area. 522 Eastatoee Community Road lies just outside this preserve. With 17.96 acres of gently sloping varied woodlands and pasture, this property is a nature-lover’s utopia. Set behind a shared private gate, the lovingly designed and maintained 2 bedroom/2 bath home with additional sleeping in loft and cottage charm. Enter into a beautiful great room with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling stone fireplace. The main floor offers a living/dining room combination, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry closet, and en-suite bedroom with soaking tub/shower combo. The home’s upstairs level has an open to below flex-use loft space with Queen size bed and a second full bath shared with upstairs guest Queen bedroom. The real headliner of this home is the Eastatoee River, which cascades within mere feet of the rear of the house. Dubbed the “stream of dreams,” the Eastatoee is one of the state’s best-known trout fishing venues. An easy walk from the over-sized, covered back porch of the cabin lies a perfect swimming hole with a sandy beach. Enjoy swimming, fishing, tubing and wildlife watching from this private piece of paradise. 

There is also RV camping available with water, sewer and electrical hookup along with room to park your boat and trailer. There is an additional daily fee if you would like to bring an RV in addition to confirming your stay at the cottage.
