Redefining a sense of community
estled on the shoreline of Lake Marion in Santee, South Carolina, thrives a community
like no other. One that is vibrant with the colors of life. One painted with nature in the Nforeground, not the background. One warmed by the rays of southern hospitality and
lulled by the scent of fresh pine and cedar. It's a down to earth community brought together by a
common appreciation for nature.
It's Lakewilde….. where the road is less traveled.
Serenity is the lay of the land at Lakewilde. Of the 380 gently rolling acres, over 100 acres are
dedicated to wildlife conservation and community gathering space. Charming homes, crafted with
efficiency and sustainability in mind, are tucked away in the privacy of the organic setting and their
residents are drawn to the surrounding natural beauty during all seasons of the year. A gazebo is
perched high on a hill featuring a panoramic view of the lake, offering an idyllic place to sip on wine
and share stories with friends.
Other great amenities like a covered pavilion for cooking out and entertaining with friends and a
community garden, along with winding trails, sunny docks, and abundant ponds, enable residents
to partake in activities like walking, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, kayaking,
canoeing and simply enjoying the company of like-minded souls. At Lakewilde you can experience
the peacefulness of being alone in the ornamental garden or participating in the many varied
events planned such as yoga and health workshops, kayaking classes, and live music at the
community pavilion.
