Last updated October 5, 2026

Ballentine Cove — Irmo, South Carolina.

Ballentine Cove is a residential subdivision in Richland County. The mailing city on owner-occupied cards in this set is overwhelmingly Irmo and the ZIP is 29063. That mailing address is a postal city. This guide does not claim Town of Irmo municipal limits from the fields used here. Parcels in this set sit in Richland tax district code 6UD. The meaning of that code was not pulled from a county legend in this pass, so it is stated as a code only.

The subdivision name on Richland legal lines is BALLENTINE COVE (with phase labels Ph I / 1A / II / III on some cards). Seventy-four parcels match that #SU string on October 5, 2026. Ballentine Estates, Ballentine Point, and Lakeside at Ballentine are other recorded names. They are not this map.

Richland County does not publish a lakefront property-type code like Lexington's PropTypeDesc. An approximate lake-edge count is given below from parcel geometry near Richland's Lake Murray hydro polygon. That is an estimate, not an assessor waterfront class. This guide does not invent a frontage distance.

The Patrick O'Connor Team publishes this neighborhood information and updates.

About Ballentine Cove

Do not shop Ballentine Cove from one lot count. Richland fields do not match a Lexington-style NumberLots total, and lake-edge is approximate.

Parcels with #SU Ballentine Cove (including phase suffixes and one card that stores #SU: with a colon): 74. All tax district 6UD.
Approximate lake-edge: about 31 of those 74 parcel polygons sit within roughly 25 meters of Richland's Lake Murray hydro polygon. That is a geometric estimate, not a county waterfront type.
Improved-proxy: about 71 cards show a positive building value or heated area. Two parcels still show developer / “Ballentine Cove” owner strings with no building value (west of Cove View Drive and west of Cove Court).

Situs street names on the cards include Wells Point Drive, Headwater Circle, Cove Court, Cove View Drive, Jones Road, and Shell Cracker Court. Plat references on common / open cards include 50-8740 and 51-7141. Instruments were not opened.

Owner-city / ZIP on the cards: Irmo 29063 on most owner-occupied rows. A few owners show Ballentine or opted-out mailing fields. Use the situs address and the tax card, not a marketing city alone.

Homes for Sale in Ballentine Cove

As of October 5, 2026, this guide does not publish an active listing count or a list price. No portal snapshot was used. Brokerage marketing pages were not used as sources.

What the tax roll supports is a Ballentine Cove street map in Richland 29063, a majority of improved house cards, an approximate lake-edge subset, and two open / developer-named parcels. Ask for a fresh MLS pull before treating any count as live.

Types of Homes

Public records support a street map and an improved majority. They do not support a menu of floor plans or a claim that every house fronts the lake.

Improved house cards (proxy): about 71 of 74 show building value or heated area.
Open / developer-named parcels: 2 (Ballentine Cove A General west of Cove View Drive; Ballentine Cove west of Cove Court). Both touch the approximate lake-edge test on this pass.
Not a Lexington lakefront PropTypeDesc set. Richland has no equivalent waterfront type in these fields.
Not a condo regime in the cards returned for this set.

Bedroom counts are on some cards but are not published here as a neighborhood range.

Neighborhood Amenities

The tax roll shows open / common-style parcels. It does not publish a pool, clubhouse, or amenity directory for Ballentine Cove.

TMS R02413-05-01. Owner string Ballentine Cove A General. Legal references plat 50-8740 & 51-7141. West of Cove View Drive. Approximate lake-edge: yes. No building value on the card.

Gate: not in this record.

If a seller's packet shows an assessment or a maintenance rule, the packet and the recorded covenants win over this page.

Shopping, Dining, and Recreation

Ballentine Cove uses an Irmo 29063 mailing address in Richland County (Ballentine / Dutch Fork lake shore). This page does not name stores or restaurants, and it does not publish a drive time. Tour the route you will actually use.

On-site recreation is not a park directory in these fields. Off-site public ramps and marinas are a separate trip. This page does not publish that drive time, and it does not publish a frontage distance.

Home Prices

There is no Ballentine Cove price range in the public record assembled for this page. The assessor sales cited under Market Data are individual deeds. They are not a median, not a list-price band, and not a price per square foot. Several 2025–2026 examples sit on the approximate lake-edge set; Headwater Circle examples did not. Do not average them into one neighborhood price.

Use the Market Data section for the figures this page will stand behind, including $950,000 on August 20, 2026, for 1029 Jones Road, and $457,900 on May 15, 2025, for 209 Headwater Circle (not lake-edge on this pass). Price any other house from the plat, the card, and current MLS comps.

Schools: not assigned here. Use the district locator

Schools are not assigned in the records used here. No school locator was queried for a Ballentine Cove address, and no school building is named on this page. Confirm the address with the district that serves the parcel — for many Irmo / Ballentine addresses that is often discussed as Lexington-Richland Five, but this page does not treat that as a verified assignment. Start at lexrich5.org and the district zone locator.

Waterfront Homes

Do not write a frontage distance, and do not say every Ballentine Cove lot fronts the lake. Richland has no PropTypeDesc lakefront class. On this pass, about 31 of 74 parcel polygons are approximate lake-edge under a ~25 meter hydro buffer. The other parcels are not.

Ask, for the specific house, what the legal says and what a survey shows. This page does not assign a dock, a beach, or a length of shoreline.

Lake Murray Access

Classify Ballentine Cove as a Richland County Ballentine / Irmo-mailing subdivision with an approximate lake-edge minority:

Approximate lake-edge: about 31 of 74 parcels on this geometric test
Not established: a frontage distance, a resident beach, a community ramp inside these polygons, or a private dock claim from the fields used here
Not the product: a claim that every house fronts the lake
Off site: public ramps and marinas are a separate drive. This page does not publish that drive time

Read the legal description and a current survey before you treat a Ballentine Cove street as water.

Location and Commute

Ballentine Cove sits in Richland County on the Ballentine / Dutch Fork side of Lake Murray. Owner-occupied mailings are mostly Irmo 29063.

This page does not publish a minute count. Drive the commute at the hour you travel.

Nearby Neighborhoods to Compare

The county file distinguishes names. It does not give a ranked list of neighbors or a straight-line distance. This page does not invent either.

Live Irmo-area / Ballentine guides already on this site include Beacon Point, Laguna Vista Estates, Regatta Shores, Lakeport, and Forty Love Point. Compare county, tax class, and plat — not the word “point” or “cove” in a name
Sibling Irmo-side packages in this build: Wexford, Clearwater, Regatta, Shadowood Cove, Palms at Rocky Point
Shadowood Cove is another Richland Irmo-mailing lake plat in this build. Beacon Point and Laguna Vista Estates are live Richland Irmo guides. Do not fold Ballentine Estates into this count

More guides sit on the Neighborhoods hub.

Buying a Home in Ballentine Cove

A practical checklist from the county file:

Confirm the legal #SU is Ballentine Cove in Richland with an Irmo 29063 mailing context, and not Ballentine Estates, Ballentine Point, or Lakeside at Ballentine
Treat lake-edge as approximate. Richland has no Lexington-style lakefront property type in these fields
Ask which open / association parcel, if any, touches the lot. Two developer-named open parcels appear on the roll
Ask for any covenants and any assessment. This guide has no dues number. Nothing in these fields says the streets are gated
Confirm school assignment with the district locator. This guide does not name a school as assigned
Price from recorded sales and current comps, not from mixing lake-edge and inland cards into one average

Selling a Home in Ballentine Cove

Buyers will ask whether the lot is approximate lake-edge, which phase the legal names, and what the 2024–2026 assessor sales do and do not say about price. Jones Road examples on this page sit on the approximate lake-edge set; Headwater Circle examples did not. They will also ask about the open parcels still under Ballentine Cove owner strings.

Price from the recorded lot and from truly similar Ballentine Cove sales. Put the Richland jurisdiction and any covenants in writing. Do not borrow a median or a frontage length. The Patrick O'Connor Team can build that packet and the launch plan.
