Homes for Sale on Lake Monticello

In Jenkinsville, South Carolina, the Lake Monticello area offers a peaceful and scenic setting. It is made up of three lakes: The Monticello Reservoir and the Parr Reservoir – totaling over 6,500 and 4,400 acres respectively – are utilized in the form of a pumped storage hydroelectric nuclear facility owned by South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G), whereas its 300-acre Recreational Lake offers an enjoyable escape for both visitors and locals.

The Lake Monticello area is a hidden gem for Columbia Real Estate Market investors and local residents, with its stunning scenery providing a peaceful and eco-friendly community. There aren't many waterfront real estate developments in the area, with just modest land use restrictions in place. The Monticello Reservoir ensures its tranquil environment by prohibiting water skiing, jet skis, boatlifts, mooring, sea walls, dredging, and private boat ramps, and limiting dock permits to single-family lots with a minimum of 100 feet of water frontage and one dock per lot. If you're looking for a low-traffic destination close to Columbia where you can reconnect with nature, Lake Monticello's three distinct lakes and minimal development make it an ideal choice.
