16121 Tana Tea Circle, Tega Cay, SC

The waterfront lifestyle in Tega Cay is defined by a particular cadence, where the proximity to Lake Wylie dictates the pace of the day. Constructed in 2007, this 4,403-square-foot residence occupies a primary position on a quiet cove just off the main channel, featuring a private dock equipped with a power lift. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom interior has been meticulously maintained, characterized by refinished hardwoods, custom mouldings, and a culinary suite outfitted with a six-burner gas range and integrated panel refrigeration. Beyond the architecture, the regional market remains competitive for properties with direct water access, as inventory along these specific coves often transitions through private networks before reaching the wider public. This property serves as a sophisticated response to the demand for refined lakefront living within reach of the Charlotte metropolitan area. Private viewings and detailed inquiries regarding the estate's dockage specifications may be directed to Peters & Associates.

About the home

There’s a moment standing on the deck as the sun starts to drop over the water when everything slows down. The lake softens. The light filters through the trees. Boats drift by, and the only decision left is whether to stay outside a little longer or head down to the dock for one last ride. This is what living in Tega Cay feels like. Set along a cove just off the main channel, this custom-built waterfront home was designed for both everyday living and the kind of moments you remember. Built in 2007, the private dock with a power lift becomes part of your routine. Morning coffee by the water, afternoons on the boat, and evenings that turn into something you look forward to all week. Inside, the home feels warm and well-maintained, with thoughtful updates throughout. Fresh paint, newly refinished hardwoods, custom mouldings, and wrought iron railings give it a polished but comfortable feel. Natural light fills the home, and the water is visible from so many of the main spaces, including the living room and primary suite. The kitchen is set up to actually be used and enjoyed. A six-burner gas cooktop, warmer drawer, panel refrigerator, wine cooler, wall oven, and microwave are paired with granite countertops and custom glass-front cabinets. It is a space that works just as well for a quiet night as it does for a full house. Doors from the kitchen and living room lead out to the deck, making it easy to move between inside and out. The deck overlooks the lake and connects to multiple outdoor areas and a large dock, giving you space to host, relax, or just sit and take it in. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat with tray ceilings and a wall of windows facing the water. Secondary bedrooms are comfortable and flexible. The full basement includes a kitchenette and opens up possibilities for entertaining, guests, or extended living. A large recreation area with space for a pool table and game nights adds another layer to how the home lives day to day. Beyond the home, Tega Cay offers a lifestyle that is hard to replicate. Award-winning Fort Mill schools. Golf, marina access, trails, parks, pickleball, and summer concerts that bring people together. The golf club and restaurant are just a short distance away, and Charlotte, the airport, and shopping are all within easy reach. Living here is not just about the house. It is mornings on the deck, time on the water, and a community that people choose to stay in. In Tega Cay, it really is a different way of living.
