About the property

Stately 4BR Farmhouse-Style Townhome Steps from Clemson Marina

Positioned directly across from Clemson Marina and within sight of Lake Hartwell, 318 Breakwater Lane is a substantial new-construction townhome that blends modern farmhouse details with generous, flexible living spaces. From the street the three-story façade—cement siding, architectural shingles and a thoughtfully landscaped frontage—signals quality; inside, nearly 4,300 square feet are arranged for both everyday ease and entertaining. The main level centers on a large kitchen finished with upgraded quartz countertops and opens to a living area anchored by a gas fireplace and high ceilings that give the home an airy, refined presence.

The primary suite on the main level offers a private retreat with an opulent bath and a walk-in closet sized for two. Up a level, three additional bedrooms share two full baths and a light-filled loft that functions well as a study, media room or play area. A full walkout basement expands possibilities—exercise area, guest suite, or home office—and provides direct access to the level rear yard. Practical systems include zoned HVAC with heat pump and natural gas heating, underground utilities, and a two-car attached garage with driveway parking.

Owners in this community enjoy maintenance-light living: exterior upkeep, trash and yard care are included in the HOA (annual fee $3,675). The property’s location is a standout—launch a boat at Clemson Marina 0.1 miles away, tee off at The Walker Golf Course within 2 miles, or reach Clemson University in roughly 2.5 miles for campus events and dining. Hartwell Village shopping and dining are under two miles from the front door, making errands and weekend plans straightforward while preserving a calm shoreline atmosphere.

Thoughtfully priced at $602,000 (approximately $140/sqft) and delivered new in 2026, this townhome suits buyers seeking a move-in-ready primary residence, a second home with lake access, or investors targeting Clemson-area demand. Note: the property uses a septic system and carries an annual HOA; buyers should review HOA governing documents and septic maintenance history as part of due diligence. With its scale, finishes, marina proximity and low-maintenance model, 318 Breakwater Lane presents a distinctive entry to life on Lake Hartwell.

Market context

A factual market snapshot around 318 Breakwater Ln.

Editorial market perspective

Local market activity around Landing at Clemson Marina has favored new construction townhomes over the last 12 months. Recent comparables include 316 Breakwater Ln (sold March 2026 for $597,085) and several nearby new builds closing in the $586K range in late 2025 — evidence that properly positioned, maintenance-light homes are attracting buyers. At a list price of $602,000 (~$140/sqft), this property aligns with those sales while offering larger square footage and a walkout basement, which supports competitive resale value.

Inventory metrics for the immediate micro-market are limited, but broker notes and recent closings point to relatively constrained supply for new, finished townhomes near the marina—helpful for sellers and selective buyers. Rental demand also looks solid: proximity to Clemson University and campus events supports a projected rent near $3,000/month, per local lease comps, providing upside for investors. Prospective buyers should weigh the HOA expense ($3,675/year) and septic system maintenance against the convenience of included exterior care. Overall, buyers seeking lake-adjacent, low-upkeep living will find this moment favorable given recent comparable sales and campus-driven demand.
