Because of its location, character and laid-back lifestyle, it seems that you are worlds away from the hustle and bustle of city living when you are here. However, in reality, it is only a short drive to major metropolitan areas in both South Carolina and Georgia.

Savannah Lakes Village is in the heart of the 80,000-acre Sumter National Forest. The village is surrounded by three state parks in South Carolina and one state park across the bridge in Georgia. Savannah Lakes Village was carefully planned to incorporate the natural beauty of the area. The village features approximately 4900 wooded, lake front and golf front home sites that range in size from 1/3 acre to just over 1 acre.

The “Lake” of Savannah Lakes Village is Lake Thurmond, which separates Georgia and South Carolina. Lake Thurmond covers more than 70,000 acres, is 64 miles long, has depths up to 120 feet and has 1,200 miles of shoreline. Thurmond is the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi. Field & Stream magazine ranks Lake Thurmond as one of the best bass lakes in the country – in recent years it has become host to a Bass Masters Elite Series Tournament.
