Lowcountry charm in the Midlands with the kind of Lake Murray setting buyers wait years to find. Situated on 1.6 private wooded acres close to the dam with approximately 173 feet of lake frontage, this custom-designed residence offers deep water access and a fully equipped Trex dock with boat lift, jet ski lift, floating dock, and gazebo. The entire setting is framed by a mature tree canopy and naturalistic stonework that draws you toward the water. This is NOT a spec build. Designed by Catalyst Architects with true architectural intention and built with materials chosen to stand the test of time, the home was featured in SC Homes & Gardens as a design showcase. Handmade brick, hand-constructed arches reminiscent of old Lowcountry buildings, and heart pine floors set the tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, over 6,000 sq ft of heated living space delivers a scale that surprises and a warmth that stays with you. A kitchen designed with a restaurateur's eye, a soundproofed home theater built as an independent floating structure with its own walls, slab, and ceiling, and a residential elevator speak to the level of thought poured into every detail. Pocket doors connect the dining and living areas, providing flexibility for any occasion. An 814 sq ft screened porch wraps the entire back of the home facing the lake, complemented by over 2,200 sq ft of covered porches total. Master on main, dedicated office, finished basement with a recreation room and a full bath, carport, plus a 3-car garage. Zoned for School District 5 of Lexington and Richland Counties. Convenient to downtown Columbia, Irmo, and Lexington while feeling completely private. If you have been watching Lake Murray, you already know how rare this is.
