Peninsula, Boathouse, Dock, House, and Pergola Form Your Private Bordeaux Bay
Location: Lexington, Lake Murray, Lakes & Blackwater Rivers, South Carolina, USA (On the south shore, NW of Lexington-just north of Climax, SC)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Den, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
You are sure to enjoy this very unique Lake Murray vacation rental setting! The photos show the isolated property and unassigned adjoining peninsula, forming a scenic panorama of your very own personal "Bordeaux Bay". This bay opens directly into deep/open water providing a superb lake vista and great fishing. The 1800+ square foot vacation home has its very own, very private, manicured sandy beach, found in very few locations at Lake Murray. Come enjoy this very comfortable home with great views, great fishing, great swimming, and a large private beach. From the property you can see osprey and bald eagles soaring above the bay or in the trees, deer, Canadian geese, Mallard ducks, turtles, and sometimes a beaver.
We completely updated the entire house at the end of last year (2008), with lots of new furniture, new kitchen appliances, and new paint throughout. Five huge floor-to-ceiling windows provide a fabulous view of your very private beach, the isolated bay, and the lake from the Family Room and Dining Room. The new 40" flat screen HDTV (with 200 Channel DishTV) may distract your attention from the superb view outside. New ceiling fans are in the Family Room, all bedrooms, and on the covered porch. The house’s newly stained open deck and covered porch face northeast and your bay, making them perfect for all-day use. At the far north end of the property is a separate pergola (arbored patio sitting area) with an outstanding 3+ mile lake view, and a great spot for watching the sun rise and the 4th of July fireworks on Dreher Island. A concrete fire pit is located just off the beach, for great evenings under the stars! You can also look back to the west for our magnificent sunsets.
All the fisherman's essential boating needs are addressed with your own boat ramp and a very large, lighted four-slip floating boat dock. You can experience great fishing right off the property or the dock, or in the abundant nearby coves. Pull back from your dock and you are right in open water - over 60 feet deep only 300 yards off shore. Great for skiing, tubing, and jet skis. Your protected bay provides a great swimming area either out from the beach or off your large floating dock (12+ foot depths) which also has a swimming ladder.
The Bordeaux Bay vacation home is located on a nicely wooded, one acre lot with a 325 foot waterfront (expanded to 700 ft. by the adjoining peninsula). At the far west edge of the property is an unrented boathouse (shown in aerial photo by the dock). With its very unique, isolated setting, Bordeaux Bay is sure to provide your party with a very memorable Lake Murray getaway. This very clean property is located on the Lexington (south) side of Lake Murray, northwest of Lexington, just beyond Climax, SC. There is essentially no vehicle traffic, since the house is literally at the “end of the road”.
