Neighborhood
Lake Murray living in the heart of the South Carolina Midlands — private, scenic, and surprisingly convenient.
The Setting
Where the Lake Meets the Midlands
664 River Rd sits on 1.6 private wooded acres close to the Lake Murray dam in Columbia, SC 29212. The property offers approximately 173 feet of lake frontage with deep water access — a rarity even among Lake Murray's most coveted addresses.
The surrounding area blends the quiet privacy of a wooded lakefront setting with the convenience of the greater Columbia metro. Irmo's shopping and dining corridor along St. Andrews Road is about 10 minutes away, and downtown Columbia is roughly 20 minutes by car.
Lake Murray itself covers 50,000 acres with over 650 miles of shoreline, making it one of the Southeast's premier recreational lakes. Living this close to the dam means easy access to the widest part of the lake — and some of the best water for boating and fishing.
