Nestled in Northern York County along the shores of Lake Wylie is the community of Tega Cay, SC. Aptly named for the Polynesian words meaning “Beautiful Peninsula”, Tega Cay is a city unto itself and is run by a Council/Manager form of government with City Council meetings, it’s own police force, garbage and recycle collection, water, sewer, emergency squad and other services.
This heavily wooded, 1600 acre peninsula began development in 1970 and was originally styled with a Polynesian theme for housing, neighborhood and road names. Located near I-77 in the excellent Fort Mill School District, Tega Cay has grown to over 7,000 residents and has a variety of architectural styles and 
price ranges.
The city offers a wide range of activities and services with diverse neighborhoods, parks, playgrounds, event/business facilities, golf, tennis, pools, restaurants, clubs and organizations. Golf memberships are semi private and the course, located on 200 acres surrounding Lake Wylie, is the only 27 hole golf course in the region. The Tega Cay Golf and Conference Center (www.tegacaygolfclub.com) features a full service Clubhouse with restaurants, a pro shop, 4 tennis courts, a croquet club, event pavilion for large groups and the Glennon Community and Conference Center for groups up to 500 people. Tega Cay has a Parks and Recreation division for the young and the old with many sports facilities and fields, playgrounds, parks, picnic areas, walking trails and a dog park – aptly named “Central Bark”.
The Beach and Swim Center features a large 8 lane Junior Olympic size swimming pool, wading pool, beach area for lake swimming, fitness area and more. Pitcairn Park and the Windjammer Park both are also situated on the lake for swimming and boating opportunities. Some of the park facilities in Tega Cay are availa
ble for rent, if you are interested in hosting a party or event at one of their outstanding venues.
Single family homes come in a wide variety of styles and range in price from the $100,000’s to $900,000 depending on location (waterfront, golf, interior, etc) and size. There are several condominiums and townhouses available from the mid $100,000’s to $300,000’s again, depending on location. There are still some lots available to purchase and build your own home from as low as $20,000 up to waterfront lots in the $400,000 range.

Some homes are places to live. This one is a place to land, to slow down, soak it in, and remember what summers are supposed to feel like. Tucked into one of Tega Cay's most coveted waterfront locations, this beautifully updated home sits front and center on the main channel with wide open water views that greet you the moment you walk through the door. A sprawling open cove with a sandy beach gives you your own private retreat, and the sunsets here, framed perfectly from the deck and the water's edge, are the kind that become part of your daily rhythm. This is where weekends start with morning coffee on the deck and end with bonfires and s'mores. Where summers are measured in fishing trips off the new dock and long afternoons in the cove. Where family and friends come, gather, and stay a while. The home has been updated with new exterior siding, all new decking, and a brand new dock ready for everything lake life throws at it. Inside, a beautifully renovated kitchen and updated bathrooms deliver a clean modern flair while keeping the warmth of a true lake home intact. A new electric fireplace insert nestles into its natural stone surround - old and new blending seamlessly - and the fully enclosed sunroom lives like the outdoors in every season, with front-row water views year round. Then there's the community wrapped around it all. Tega Cay is a one-of-a-kind peninsula city on Lake Wylie where the lifestyle is genuinely built around the water and the people who love it. Miles of walking and biking trails wind through the peninsula. Multiple community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a disc golf course, a marina, boat ramps, and green spaces give residents an outdoor playground right outside their door. The golf course adds another layer to a community that has quietly become one of the most desirable addresses in the entire Charlotte metro. Neighbors know each other here. The Fourth of July feels like a small town celebration. It's the kind of place people move to and never want to leave - and this waterfront home that sit on the main channel will feel like the crown jewel of it all. All of this, zoned to the award-winning Fort Mill School District - consistently ranked among the best in South Carolina and recognized nationally for academic excellence - making this not just a dream lake home, but a genuinely smart place to put down roots.
