Beacon Point — Irmo, South Carolina
Beacon Point is a small, gated custom-home community on the Irmo / east side of Lake Murray in South Carolina (ZIP 29063), near the Dreher Shoals Dam and the Marina Road corridor. It offers high-end custom homes, deep-water docks, and big-water views from its near-dam location.
Inventory is limited, and with so few homes a single sale says little about the rest of the community. When comparing Beacon Point to Regatta Shores, Wexford, or other gated waterfront communities, look at commute, dock utility, and lot orientation as well as price.
The Patrick O'Connor Team publishes Beacon Point information and updates, and works with home buyers and sellers on Lake Murray and across the Midlands of South Carolina.
About Beacon Point
Beacon Point’s advantage is geography: east-shore proximity to the dam, Columbia employment centers, and I-26 commuting, in a boutique gated setting rather than a large master-planned amenity village. The appeal is privacy, custom architecture, and deep-water dock potential.
Streets include Beacon Point Court and Signal Lane. The neighborhood is small enough that a single waterfront listing can represent a large share of the homes for sale at any moment.
Homes for Sale in Beacon Point
Expect custom single-family homes, often with strong outdoor living space. Waterfront or deeded-slip properties are the headline segment; homes inside the gates that are not on the water should be clearly labeled so buyers do not assume every Beacon Point address includes private dock rights.
Because homes here sell infrequently, buyers often need early notice of new listings, including ones that are not widely advertised. Sellers should expect buyers to compare Beacon Point with other east-shore luxury options on dock utility, dam-area views, lot orientation, and commute.

Market Data as of September 2026
Prices below reflect recent sales and listings. Ask us for a current MLS comparison.
- Recent sale: 2 Beacon Point Court sold for $650,000 in May 2026. This is a single sale, not a community median.
- Recent listing: 118 Signal Lane was listed at about $2,199,000 (5 bedrooms, about 5,319 sq ft, about 131 ft of waterfront).
- Active inventory: usually very low.
With so few homes, a single closing can dominate the averages, so avoid pricing from one or two sales. Dock, elevation, and view corridor make a large difference in value.
Types of Homes
Custom construction dominates. Homes often feature elevated ceilings, outdoor entertaining decks and porches, and lake-oriented floor plans. Charleston-influenced and other custom styles are common.
Neighborhood Amenities
- Gated entry
- Custom waterfront living and private deep-water docks on waterfront lots

Shopping, Dining & Recreation
East-shore convenience is a core draw: Harbison / Irmo retail, I-26 access, and shorter drives to many Columbia destinations than far-west lake communities. Lake recreation and dam-area public spaces are nearby. The Marina Road marina and restaurants are close by but are not Beacon Point amenities. See our Lake Murray restaurants by boat and boat ramps guides for regional context.

Home Prices in Beacon Point
Beacon Point sits in the upper-end Lake Murray / Irmo price range. With so few sales, no single number defines a typical price: individual closings and multi-million waterfront listings show a wide range.
Do not treat any single sale as a typical Beacon Point price. Waterfront footage, dock configuration, view corridor, and finish level drive large spreads.

Waterfront Homes
Beacon Point is a direct waterfront community. Waterfront lots have measured shoreline (for example, about 131 feet at 118 Signal Lane) and deep-water docks. Deep-water and near-dam characteristics vary lot by lot, so look at each property from the water with a qualified local advisor.
Deeded boat slips come with some homes but not every address. Not every Beacon Point home has a private dock.
Lake Murray Access
Primary access: private deep-water docks on waterfront lots. The Marina Road marina and restaurants nearby add to east-shore lifestyle but are not Beacon Point amenities.
Check the dock or slip deed status and any lake-use permits for the specific address before writing an offer.
