Fantastic lakefront retreat - Beautiful house with an outstanding lot

Few places like this at SML. The house, lot and community offer the complete package:
1) gentle sloping lot to the lake
2) the ability to wade into the water from a sandy shore
3) Sandy lakebed that's free from muck and seaweed
4) Uninterrupted views of the lake yet offset from the main channel
5) Walkable community amenities including tennis courts, walking trails, basketball court, and more

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.

On the Inside
Inside the entry level has the master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and walk in closet. Kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, dining area, and living room. Walk out onto large composite deck with wide water views. Upper level offers two bedrooms with a shared full bath. Down in the walk out basement is a family room, wet bar, full bathroom, and sleeping area, as well as a washing machine and dryer.

Centrally Located
Situated in one of the best spots on the lake—peacefully secluded yet close to everything. For evening fun, head over to Bridgewater Plaza, just minutes away, featuring lakeside restaurants, live entertainment, and the area’s best pastries at Smith Mountain Lake Coffee House. You'll also find plenty of nearby hiking trails, local events, and a wide variety of dining options around the lake.

Really enjoyed our stay at this house. The owner was helpful and easy to communicate with. Liked that it is was an easy walk down to the lake and had stairs to enter water. Shallow water with clean bottom was great for hanging out in and getting in kayaks. Had fun taking the kayaks out and making smores around the campfire.

This was our first trip to SML and we are definitely going back. This place was very clean and perfect for us since we brought our own boat. Don was very responsive to all my questions and checked up on us multiple times throughout our stay to see how things were going and if we needed anything. We spent a lot of time at the dock enjoying the water. Our boys played for hours in the water on the sandy beach beside the dock. Definitely would stay here again on any future visits.
