Chapin, SC Homes for Sale with Lake Murray Access

Posted by melcoker on December 15th, 2008

Want to live at Lake Murray and enjoy this beautiful lake without having to pay the high prices for waterfront homes? Lake Murray boating fun!
I’ve got a great solution… Check out my TWO new home listings with Lake Murray access for sale in Night Harbor subdivision near Chapin, South Carolina. The big benefit to each of these home is that you will get a personal boat slip in the community marina. The initial fee has been paid for by the builder.

These two homes are built by Tim Broome of Lexington Development & Builders. I’ve sold 3 of his all brick homes in this same community. Now he has two more for sale that are close to completion. They can be finished quickly for your quick closing and move-in. NOW is an especially great time to buy a home with really LOW mortgage rates (around 5%).

First some background on current pricing at Lake Murray (as of December 15, 2008)…

For a waterfront home ON Lake Murray (avg. size 3574 s.f.), the average price is $784,276 (median price $649,000). For a waterfront lot (min. 75 feet water frontage and less than 5 acres), the average price is $326,308 (median price $250,000). The average price of a Lake Murray access home (2861 s.f.) is $355,632 (median price $354,950). Keep in mind that these comparatives prices are for homes currently for sale of all age ranges and from all around Lake Murray including Richland, Lexington, Newberry and Saluda counties.

My two NEW homes for sale in Night Harbor include these benefits and features: Night Harbor is convenient located near Chapin and Irmo with great restaurants and shopping. Also, the Chapin schools are excellent and are in the highly rated Lexington Richland School District 5.

Lake Murray (SC)

Posted by melcoker on December 7th, 2008

LAKE MURRAY is the water playground of Lake Murraycentral South Carolina. Lake Murray is approximately 30 minutes from downtown Columbia. Other nearby cities and towns include: Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Prosperity and Newberry. The Lake Murray adventure means boating, sailing, canoeing, fishing, skiing, swimming, camping and just plain fun at one of the South’s most scenic playgrounds.

LAKE MURRAY was constructed between 1927 and 1930. The Dreher Shoals Dam formed a 48,000 acre lake in the heart of South Carolina and only a short drive from downtown Columbia. The lake covers an area of 78 square miles with 649 miles of shoreline. The waters of the Saluda River that feed Lake Murray supply energy to the Saluda Hydroelectric Plant turbines and cooling water to the McMeekin Steam Generating Plant. When completed, Lake Murray was the largest power reservoir and Dreher Shoals Dam the largest earthen dam in the world.

Lake Murray has had a number of big-time bass fishing tournaments. So, the fishing is great at Lake Murray. Lake Murray is a clean lake (the City of Columbia has a drinking water plant on the lake) and the lake is popular for swimming, skiing and boating.
