Lake Wylie
South CarolinaWelcome to Lake Wylie
The man-made lake was first formed when the Catawba Power Company built the Catawba Dam and Power Plant near India Hook, South Carolina in 1904. This dam impounded the Catawba River and created Lake Catawba, which was utilized to create hydro-electric power. In 1905, the Catawba Power Company became part of the Southern Power Company.
In 1924, the Southern Power Company raised the level of the dam and built the new Catawba Hydroelectric Station to replace the original. This facility opened in August 1925, increasing the surface area of Lake Catawba from 668 acres (2.70 km2) to 13,400 acres (54.2 km2). The Southern Power Company was merged with Duke Power Company in 1927.
In October 1960, the power station was renamed the Wylie Hydroelectric Station, and the lake was renamed Lake Wylie in honor of W. Gil Wylie, one of the founders of the original Catawba Power Company that had created the lake and become Duke Power.

Some homes are built around square footage. This one was built around real life. It starts on the main level, where the layout immediately makes sense. The primary suite offers the privacy and comfort you’d expect, while a second suite on the main floor creates rare flexibility—perfect for overnight guests, multigenerational living, or a quiet office tucked away from the rhythm of the rest of the home. From there, the home opens into the space where everyone naturally gathers. The kitchen, dining area, and family room flow together effortlessly, creating one big, welcoming heart of the home. The oversized island is the kind of place where mornings begin, homework gets finished, conversations linger, and guests always seem to end up. With a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, built-in microwave, generous walk-in pantry, and plenty of room to entertain, the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. Just beyond it, the family room brings warmth and comfort with a cozy gas log fireplace anchoring the space. It’s easy to picture quiet evenings here, full house gatherings, and everything in between. Upstairs, the home keeps giving. A large bonus/family room offers space for whatever season of life you’re in—a movie room, playroom, home gym, game room, teen hangout, or second living area. Three additional bedrooms provide plenty of room for family or guests, including two connected by a convenient shared bath. And the lifestyle doesn’t stop at the front door. The community offers the kind of amenities that make everyday living feel a little more like a retreat, with a pool, clubhouse, fitness center, playground, pickleball courts, gathering spaces, and neighborhood activities designed to bring people together. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, multiple living spaces, main-level flexibility, and outstanding community amenities, this is more than a well-designed home. It’s a home ready to hold busy mornings, slow evenings, full tables, visiting family, growing kids, quiet workdays, and lasting memories.
