About 30 homes and lots are listed around Lake Secession on our site right now (as of October 21, 2026), including waterfront homes and affordable lake lots.

What to Know Before Buying on Secession

  • Dock and shoreline rules: because the lake is owned by the City of Abbeville, check with the city about dock permits and shoreline rules for any property.
  • Value: lake lots and homes here are often priced well below Hartwell and Keowee.
  • Quiet water: it is a smaller lake with less boat traffic, which many buyers love.
