What's special

Massive great roomFishing pondSoaring ceilings

Smith Lake (Bear Branch) One of Smith Lake's most unique and intriguing properties! Originally designed as a gathering space for a family compound, this pavilion has been transformed! It is currently a 2BR/1BA lakehouse with a massive great room and soaring ceilings. Walk right to the water and enjoy the crystal clear deep waterfront! On the property is a fishing pond, boardwalk, and carport. A pump is installed in the lake to create a natural stream under the property. The boardwalk is a great place to relax and enjoy the pond. A loft area could be finished out for a 3rd bedroom. 50 feet of deep waterfront. The property also has a backup propane generator. A great rental property or weekend getaway.
