Top Sail Bay Homes for Sale | Near Lake Hartwell

Top Sail Bay sits on the Anderson side of Lake Hartwell, and the lake shapes nearly everything about the neighborhood, from the street layout to the way homes step toward the shoreline. Waterfront addresses on Topsail Drive and Tall Ship Drive share the subdivision with interior parcels that still run roughly 0.6 to 2.5 acres, so the community feels spacious even away from the water.

Community Highlights

The strongest draw is the range of ways to live near the lake. Waterfront homes here regularly feature covered docks, boat lifts, paved paths to the shoreline, and deep-water frontage, while interior homes and buildable lots keep Lake Hartwell close at hand. Buildable parcels remain a meaningful part of the neighborhood, so Top Sail Bay still carries a custom-build character instead of feeling fully built out.

The single-family inventory centers on substantial houses rather than compact lake cottages. Most dated homes were built between 2000 and 2007, with new construction from 2024 and 2025 extending the community's timeline. Known home sizes run from about 2,800 to just over 6,000 square feet, and four- to six-bedroom layouts are common. Finished basements show up in most of the house inventory, often paired with workshops, rec rooms, wet bars, or guest space, and garages are standard throughout the home inventory. High ceilings, fireplaces, formal dining rooms, covered porches, sunrooms, and bonus or office space recur across the neighborhood.
