About this home

Discover one of the area's best-kept secrets with this interior lot in Waterside on Lake Rhodhiss! This 1.6-acre interior lot within the gated community (electric gate with code) is just a short distance from the main entrance, and just a short distance from the community park and community boat dock. Community boat slip leases are currently just $500/season, and HOA dues are currently just $300/year. Minimum build square footage is only 1,400, so this is a nice place for a second/getaway home, or a primary residence! Waterside is also home of one of Lake Rhodhiss' resident Bald Eagle families, who nest and raise their young in a tall tree within the development. The lots and area around the nesting area are protected, but this lot is not affected by the protections. Golf carts and UTVs (muffled appropriately) are allowed within the neighborhood, and the development features include underground utilities, city water, city sewer, community outdoor firepit, gazebo, and grill. Check it out!
