Wake up seeing the water, slip your kayak in before breakfast, and end the day on the balcony as the sun settles over the lake. This brand-new 2026 home offers 159 feet of direct frontage on 33-acre Lake Sandy Plains and sits on 0.89 acres in Derbyshire, a gated equestrian community where the lifestyle is every bit as special as the home itself. Reserved for peaceful, non-motorized recreation, the lake invites you to kayak, paddleboard, swim, or fish just steps from your back door. Beyond the shoreline, Derbyshire offers exceptional equestrian amenities with access to the CETA and FETA trail systems for miles of riding through the beautiful Carolina foothills. About eight miles of community walking trails provide the perfect setting for morning dog walks, while the gently rolling lawn leading to the lake offers plenty of room for both two- and four-legged family members to enjoy. Inside, European windows and doors capture the lake views and fill the home with natural light. The main living area soars beneath a vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, anchored by a handsome stacked-stone fireplace. Glass doors open onto the covered wraparound balcony, where cable railings preserve the sweeping views and create an inviting outdoor living space overlooking the water. The kitchen blends clean, timeless design with thoughtful functionality, featuring white shaker cabinetry, a stained wood island, stone countertops, a Bosch wall oven and microwave, a Bosch dishwasher, a natural gas cooktop, and a generous walk-in pantry. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful retreat with beautiful lake views, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with a frameless glass shower. Just off the oversized two-car garage, a practical mudroom is ready for muddy boots and paws, with the laundry room conveniently located alongside. Downstairs, the walkout lower level opens directly to a covered lakeside patio. Designed for relaxed entertaining, it features a spacious recreation room with a modern electric fireplace, wet bar, and wine cellar, plus two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets and a full bath. At approximately 2,942 finished square feet, this home is designed around how you want to live-quiet mornings on the lake, afternoons on the trails, dogs playing in the yard, and evenings watching the light change across the water. All of this is just minutes from Columbus, Tryon, and Landrum, with convenient access to I-26-offering a peaceful lakefront and equestrian lifestyle without giving up easy access to town.
