Sunset Haven

Sunset Haven is on the main channel of the lake with deep water and a great view of the lake. Located just nine houses from Sunrise Cove, our other home. The neighborhood is quiet and secluded, great for walking and bicycling with very little traffic (Just watch out for the deer!). This is a safe area, the kind of place where you keep the keys and fishing tackle in the boat all the time. We have a large well lit dock with mooring whips for two boats and a ladder for swimming. Water depth at the dock is between six and ten feet depending on lake level and fishing at the dock is great. We have a private boat ramp, plenty of parking and an attached double carport.This brick home has a lovely screened front porch that offers an awesome view of Lake Murray as you enjoy wicker furnishings including a dining table, rockers and swing.

The wildlife in the area is great, its not uncommon to see ducks, geese, purple martins, blue heron, osprey and as many as two dozen deer in one evening.The fishing at Lake Murray is great. Several guides are available for bass, striper, crappie and perch fishing. They can pick you up at the dock if you like. Some will even clean your catch. We can also arrange for an old fashioned fish fry with all the trimmings.Lake Murray is calmer than other lakes in the area, great for watersports. Wakeboarding is becoming a popular pastime in the area. Our son is an avid wakeboarder and water skier. He teaches watersports lessons on Lake Murray with the latest equipment and a nice wakeboard boat. He can meet you at the dock and provide a great day on the water, even if you’ve never been behind a boat before.
