We have an absolutely gorgeous 12 acres of mostly wooded and/or lakefront land on the West end of Lake Murray (Saluda River).
Me, my wife, and three kids live and work on a 20 acre forest nestled in the backwaters of Lake Murray. Behind Prices Bridge, we have what nature lovers refer to "OH MY GAWD"...
Our land forms a peninsula, which is very private, secluded, and SAFE.
If you want to refresh, recharge or spend quality time with family or friends, we'd love to host you.
*Prices Bridge being a low bridge also means if you bring a large boat you may need to use the marina or any of the free boat launches within a mile of our site... kayaks, canoes, john boats all fit under. :-)

We are working on the land to make trails and clear more of the woods. There is an old cemetery here, creeks, hills and valleys. It's beautiful! Wildlife such as deer, rabbits, turkeys and more can be seen in the woods.

It is so tempting to keep this five star find to myself, but Jessie deserves all the praise for this adorable, safe, comfortable spot! With gorgeous sunrises over the pond and sweetly appointed digs comes friendly animals and a homestead vibe. She has thought of everything and it's all immaculately kept. You are centrally located to all of Augusta and Aiken (I grew up here, I know!) but you feel like you're in a remote woodsy location. We will be back!
