The Retreat is positioned within one of the Southeast's premier freshwater recreational markets. Clarks Hill Lake—also known as J. Strom Thurmond Lake—encompasses more than 70,000 acres of water and approximately 1,200 miles of shoreline, supporting boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking and year-round outdoor recreation. This property is adjacent to Soap Creek Marina. Lincoln County has experienced renewed population growth, increasing approximately 5.5% between the 2020 Census and the Census Bureau's 2025 population estimate. The trend supports a broader investment thesis centered on lifestyle migration, recreational demand, second-home ownership and residential growth within the Clarks Hill Lake market. Although The Retreat offers the privacy and recreational character of a lake-oriented community, the property is positioned within the broader economic influence of the Augusta metropolitan region. Augusta was recently ranked the nation's No. 1 "City on the Rise" by LinkedIn, reflecting increasing employment opportunity and workforce growth. This regional momentum strengthens the long-term case for residential and recreational development within surrounding lifestyle markets.
