Nord-Lac Homes Near Lake Hartwell in Central, SC

Community Highlights

Nord-Lac stands out for its lot pattern first: this is a Central subdivision where wooded acreage, long setbacks, and a small but real waterfront component shape the experience of the neighborhood. Community-wide lot size averages about 1.64 acres, with parcels ranging from roughly 0.8 acres to nearly 12 acres, and several addresses connect to Lake Hartwell or the Twelve Mile River.

The built portion of Nord-Lac is made up primarily of single-family homes from 1970 through 2005, with most closed home sales falling between the upper $100,000s and the low $300,000s, and a top recent sale reaching just over $600,000 on the water. Traditional ranch, split-level, and occasional log-cabin designs appear across the subdivision rather than one repeated plan. Attached garages are common, basements appear in a substantial share of listings, and decks, porches, fireplaces, and hardwood floors show up regularly in marketing remarks.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Nord-Lac is not an amenity-driven subdivision in the clubhouse-and-pool sense. Its appeal comes from private outdoor space and access to the surrounding landscape. Listings repeatedly highlight mature trees, screened porches, broad decks, walkout lower levels, and room for workshops, storage, and recreational equipment. Waterfront and near-water properties add another layer, with some homes noting docks, easy lake access, or short walks for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.

The active inventory reinforces that identity: the four available listings are all vacant homesites, including interior and corner tracts from about 0.85 to 2.96 acres. That keeps the neighborhood''s custom-home potential in view even as the existing streetscape remains established. Pin Du Lac Drive has produced the strongest closed pricing in the subdivision, helped by several larger homes and the concentration of upper-end water-oriented sales.

Location & Schools

From Nord-Lac, downtown Central is only a few minutes away, Southern Wesleyan University is nearby, and Clemson University is typically reached in well under 10 minutes by car. Residents also stay close to Lake Hartwell recreation, the Twelve Mile Recreation Area boat launch, and the broader foothill landscape that defines this part of the Upstate. Public school assignments in the community record point to Central Elementary, R.C. Edwards Middle, and D.W. Daniel High.

Nord-Lac fits buyers looking for space, trees, and a more tucked-away setting without giving up quick access to Central and Clemson. Its combination of acreage, mixed home styles, and occasional waterfront positioning gives it a distinct place in the Central market.
