Description
Big Water Marina The Crown Jewel of Lake Hartwell Investment Opportunities. Big Water Marina, a premier full-service marina operation on Lake Hartwell offering a 50-acre leasehold packed with growth potential, established revenue streams, and unmatched expansion opportunities. This turn-key investment includes a thriving restaurant, 200+ wet slips, ship store, fuel dock, boat and kayak rental operations, and a flourishing RV and Tiny Home community, all positioned within a high-traffic, recreation-rich destination. Currently, operations utilize approximately 20 of the 50 available acres, leaving ample room for further development and additional profit centers. The existing RV and Tiny Home community features 49 RV sites and 6 Tiny Homes, with approved expansion potential to 60 RV sites, 35 Tiny Homes, and 25 Tent camping sites. For visionary investors seeking the next level, the property also includes a fully designed 120-key hotel site engineered by Kimley-Horn, offering a blueprint for a lakeside resort experience unlike anything else on Hartwell. Under the current permit, the marina's 200+ wet slips can be doubled to 400, with an additional 800+ slips envisioned in the Kimley-Horn master plan pending future permitting and approval. This comprehensive design showcases the limitless potential of the site, including a floating village, waterfront retail district, multiple restaurants and tiki bars, a zip line attraction, and extensive amenities designed to attract both day visitors and overnight guests. Beyond its immediate income and operational success, Big Water Marina offers a rare combination of scalable infrastructure and stackable cash flow, delivering both immediate returns and long-term growth. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has also expressed openness to expanding the current lease to include an additional 20 acres on the North Shore, ideal for a dry stack storage facility or additional commercial ventures. Opportunities of this scale and scope on Lake Hartwell are exceedingly rare. Big Water Marina is more than a business. It is a lifestyle investment and a legacy asset positioned for exponential growth on one of the Southeast's most sought-after lakes.
