Fort Mill

Neighborhood Spotlight: Island Creek View

August 8, 2022 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

A few days ago, a unique property went under contract and there may never be another chance to own a property quite like it. This property is located in the Island Creek View neighborhood and there has never been a sale in this neighborhood that has been recorded by the Canopy Realtor Association. It is rare that a waterfront property on Lake Wylie is the first ever to be listed for sale in a neighborhood.

Island Creek View is located off of Dam Road near Tega Cay, South Carolina. The neighborhood is zoned for award winning Fort Mill schools, and is close to everything you need, including highway access to I-77 if you have a commute to Uptown Charlotte.

There are just a few homes on the peninsula where Island Creek View is situated. If any of these homes sold before, they were not listed as being a part of the Island Creek View neighborhood. There were two lots that were sold in 2019 on Island View Drive, but they did not have a subdivision named in the listing. The home that just went under contract was a custom built home, built in 2020 on one of the lots that sold in 2019. The home has a sloped basement lot, with a boardwalk down to a deck near the water. The lot is just over an acre in size leaving plenty of room for outdoor living and privacy. There are many custom features in this modern farmhouse style home, including a fully finished basement with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the lower level. The upper level features the primary suite, in addition to the living spaces and kitchen.

This is great news for buyers as they might start to see more supply which means more choices.

The project is located on the North side Sturgis Road south of Dave Lyle and west of Waterford Park.

According to plans filed with the Planning Commission, Mattamy Homes will be building 193 residential lots on 64 acres of currently undeveloped, wooded land. There will be a mix of single-family homes and townhomes. Four public streets and seven private alleys will connect throughout the new community called Bratton Pointe. The plan also calls for turn lanes for ease of access into the new neighborhood. The preliminary plans also call for a dog park though there could be additional amenities once the plans are finalized.

The location is perfect for commuting to Uptown Charlotte, and is close to the lake for anyone looking for watersports or natural hiking areas. There is great shopping and dining close by as well as entertainment, fitness, and much more.
