Peaceful Lakefront Retreat
Welcome to your serene Smith Mountain Lake getaway—where relaxation meets recreation. Nestled on a quiet point lot along the main channel near R21, this clean and well-maintained home offers the perfect blend of privacy, wide water views, and easy lake access. Just minutes from shopping and dining, it's centrally located yet tucked away for true tranquility.
Lake Life at Its Best
The gently sloping lot leads to a private sandy shoreline just 90 feet from the home—ideal for swimming, floating, or simply unwinding as the waves lap at your feet. Wade into the shallow, muck-free water or make a splash from the dock, where the water is about 10 feet deep. Lounge in the sun, relax in the shade, and open the boathouse and enjoy music by the lake. Paddle out on a kayak or float the day away—this is lakefront living at its finest.
Enjoy beautiful sunsets and peaceful views from the house, perfectly positioned just off the main channel for calm waters without sacrificing the scenery. In the evening, gather around the firepit under the stars, or take a short walk to enjoy the community’s full range of amenities.
