Irreplaceable. This is an estate-grade, site-driven, water-forward custom home offering a rare convergence of 2.55 acres of privacy, very close proximity to the water, deep, clean, wide-water cove access, 180-degree south-facing lake views, substantial dock infrastructure, and enduring construction quality -- a combination that is increasingly rare at Smith Mountain Lake. The property delivers a true lake-estate experience just minutes from Westlake Towne Center, dining, and healthcare, yet remains remarkably secluded with ultra-convenience by both land and water. A sweeping paved driveway, professionally designed, irrigated landscaping set the tone for a property defined by permanence rather than trend. No HOA allows rare flexibility for discreet on-site storage of boats, RVs, and trailers--out of view and without restriction.
Both Boat slips have 6.5 Feet of water depth at the rear of the slips and 12.5 Feet at the front of the slips with lake levels being at 790 Feet.
The stationary dock is substantial and fully equipped with two covered slips, a boat hoist, dual PWC lifts, a spacious footprint, offering dock capacity and usability that are increasingly difficult to permit today.
A detached garage/workshop further distinguishes the property, featuring reinforced construction suitable for vehicle lifts, tall ceilings, shop air, propane heat, and a loft-- ideal for collectors, hobbyists, or serious lake lifestyles. Built in 2005 by a notable builder, the residence offers ~5,882 finished sq ft (~6,685 total attached plus unfinished space) with five bedrooms and four baths, including two true upper-level primary suites, a main-level primary/en-suite bedroom, and a flexible lower-level bedroom.
Construction includes a brick-and-stucco exterior, 2×6 framing, architectural millwork, quality built-ins, and thoughtfully upgraded finishes. Outdoor living is central to the experience, with a deep composite rear deck, clear-view railing, riprap shoreline, and lakefront hardscaping with a fire pit and integrated lighting. Across the wide-water cove, views extend toward the Waterfront Country Club community, preserving an attractive, unobtrusive backdrop.
This property represents a class of Smith Mountain Lake estate that cannot be readily recreated under today's regulations. While finishes may evolve, land, water access, dock entitlements, privacy, and site placement do not. This is not simply a home--it is a legacy lake asset. The home has been thoughtfully and continuously maintained, with key mechanical systems updated over time and select interior finishes recently refreshed to align with current luxury
preferences.
All documented estate specifications, infrastructure details, and supporting materials are available through the listing agent upon request.
