What sets this ranch apart is the land: a full 1.25-acre parcel that gives you room to garden, expand, or simply enjoy privacy minutes from Lake Hartwell. 736 Rodgers Road is a single-story home with a level lot and a generous backyard—rare today for a comfortable three-bedroom footprint. The property sits quietly off Rodgers Road, offering a suburban-rural blend that appeals to families, retirees, or buyers seeking space without a long drive to downtown Seneca.
Step inside to 1,110 square feet of well-maintained living. The floor plan centers on hardwood floors that run through the main living areas and bedrooms, creating a cohesive, lived-in feel. Two full bathrooms and three bedrooms are arranged for practical daily life; the home’s single-level layout keeps everything accessible. Mechanical essentials are in place: central AC, a heat pump for efficient year-round comfort, and public water service. The roof is asphalt shingle; condition and exact age should be verified on inspection.
Outdoor living extends from an open-air deck that overlooks the yard—an ideal spot for summer grilling or morning coffee. Driveway parking accommodates two vehicles, and the level topography simplifies yard use and any future landscaping or outbuilding projects. Utilities include public water, septic service, and Duke Energy electricity. There is no attached garage, which opens opportunities to add one or build a workshop if desired (subject to permitting).
Location is a strong practical draw. Lake Hartwell’s boat ramps and shoreline are roughly 2.5 miles away, offering boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation. Downtown Seneca is about five miles from the house for dining and errands, and Clemson University sits around ten miles away—creating steady local rental demand and cultural amenities. Comparable nearby sales include 738 Rodgers Rd (3BR/2BA, sold 2021 for $209,000) and 746 Rodgers Rd (sold 2021 for $259,900). Valuation analysis places a current market range between $137,000 and $229,000 with a midpoint near $183,000. Rental projections and comps show potential income; estimated monthly rent is roughly $1,200 with stronger comparable rents observed in immediate neighborhood listings.
Before writing an offer, please verify lot boundaries, septic condition and maintenance history, roof age and condition, HVAC records, and school assignments. Owner-occupied since 2010 and maintained in good condition, this ranch offers straightforward, practical living on an unusually large lot—an appealing canvas for buyers who value outdoor space and proximity to regional recreation.

Residents enjoy short drives to Lake Hartwell for boating and fishing, a convenient route into downtown Seneca for restaurants and shopping, and a relatively short commute to Clemson for university events, dining and culture.

Inventory and days-on-market metrics are not available in the dataset, but local trend notes show appreciation over time and limited new construction in similarly sized single-family product. For buyers, this is a reasonable time to pursue a property offering land and rental optionality; for sellers, homes with intact systems and generous lots remain competitive. Verify current local inventory and recent DOM with a buying agent for the most up-to-date negotiating posture.
