McCords Ferry At Lake Marion Homes for Sale in Elloree, SC

First Impressions

McCord’s Ferry at Lake Marion has a distinctly lakeside feel, with a gated setting, mature trees, and a layout that leans into outdoor living from the moment you turn onto Twisted Oak Trail. The community’s newer homes and pond or lake views give it a polished, retreat-like character, while the surrounding Lake Marion landscape keeps the atmosphere grounded in nature rather than density.

"Lakefront living here feels intentional, with water, trails, and porches shaping the daily rhythm."

Home Styles & Community Feel

This is a neighborhood of single-family homes, with most of the recent activity centered on thoughtfully designed, one- and two-story residences built from 2004 through 2023. Many homes feature open floor plans, gourmet or chef’s kitchens, walk-in pantries, screened porches, crown molding, and generous ceiling heights, giving the interiors a comfortable but refined finish. Garage space is common, and some properties add extra flexibility with lofts, bonus rooms, or fenced yards. The lot sizes are manageable yet spacious enough to support outdoor seating, gardening, and in some cases water views or pond frontage.

The overall feel is more relaxed than urban, with a clear emphasis on lake access, porches, and scenic outlooks. A few homes are especially elevated with upgraded closets, custom finishes, and larger footprints approaching 3,000 square feet, which helps define the community’s upper-end appeal.

Amenities & Daily Rhythm

Residents are drawn to the outdoor amenities that make this community feel like a destination: a boat ramp, dock access, secure boat storage, walking trails, fishing ponds, and a clubhouse with pool, ballroom, meeting rooms, and pickleball courts. Santee State Park is close by, and several remarks point to golf, boating, fishing, and hiking as part of the everyday routine. The setting is built for slow mornings on the porch, afternoons near the water, and easy access to recreation without leaving the lake area.

"It’s a place where the amenities extend well beyond the front door and into the landscape itself."
