Set on more than 9 acres of pristine waterfront, this rare offering presents an exceptional opportunity to create a legacy lake estate. With approximately 390 feet of shoreline and an installed dock complete with a party deck, the property is perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of Smith Mountain Lake living. Ideally located just a stone's throw from Lakewatch Plantation and only minutes to Westlake Town Center, you'll enjoy both privacy and effortless access to dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Rich in history, the property is home to an original circa-1860 farmhouse constructed with now-extinct wormy chestnut logs--an increasingly rare and valuable material that offers a unique opportunity for repurposing or architectural distinction. While the existing structure is not suited for renovation, the land itself provides a remarkable canvas to design and build a custom waterfront retreat tailored to your vision. With expansive acreage, generous shoreline, and a setting that balances seclusion with proximity, this property offers the space, serenity, and potential to create something truly extraordinary on the lake. Whether you envision a private cabin retreat or a refined waterfront escape, this is a rare chance to secure significant acreage in one of Smith Mountain Lake's most desirable locations.
