Lake Wylie

South Carolina

Welcome to Lake Wylie

Lake Wylie is a reservoir or man-made lake in the U.S. states of South Carolina and North Carolina. The lake has a surface area of 13,400 acres (54.2 km2) (20.9 mi2) (5420 ha) and features 325 miles (523 km) of shoreline.

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.

Located just 5 minutes from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, this property delivers true convenience without compromise. Step through the monumental 10’ x 10’ pivot door into the breathtaking 1,400 sq ft atrium great room—a soaring, light-filled space combining living, kitchen, and dining beneath a dramatic 28-foot pyramidal clerestory ceiling clad in rich imported Peruvian cumaru wood. Exposed structural steel and a 24-foot folding glass wall seamlessly connect the interior to expansive covered terraces, creating one of the most architecturally striking living spaces in the region. The 6-bedroom, 5.2-bath home was designed with both luxury and livability in mind. The chef’s kitchen features a 10’ x 6’ waterfall island, professional Monogram appliances, Miele induction cooktop, and a concealed scullery. The great room is anchored by a 74” linear fireplace set against a dramatic wall of book-matched stone and custom wood paneling. A floating mono-stringer staircase with glass railing and 3” white oak treads serves as a sculptural centerpiece. The primary suite offers a true retreat with floor-to-ceiling glass capturing long-range lake views. The spa-inspired bath features a freestanding tub, oversized rain shower over a cumaru deck floor, and expansive custom closets with integrated lighting. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with over 1,800 sq ft of covered terraces finished with cumaru ceilings and imported Indonesian limestone flooring. Motorized screens, built-in audio, and a full outdoor kitchen create a seamless extension of the home. The resort-style infinity-edge pool and spa, finished in sukabumi stone, overlook Lake Wylie and are surrounded by thoughtfully designed landscape elements. Additional features include all-aluminum thermally broken windows and doors with low-E argon-filled 1" thick glass, spray foam insulation, tankless hot water, smart home integration, EV-ready three-car garage, and lake-fed irrigation system.
