Description
RARE WATERFRONT OPPORTUNITY! Beautifully updated cottage on a premium, level lot in a highly desirable location near Smith Mountain and the Dam. Sold Turn-Key! Situated on a partial point with some of the best water and views at Smith Mountain Lake, along with beautiful sunset views, this property has water at the dock and dockable boat slips even with the lake's current extremely low level. The grand two-slip dock is a standout feature, with a floater, dock house, plenty of open and shaded stationary areas, and an overhead party deck offering exceptional lake views. The party deck was updated with new decking and Trex railing in 2022, and the entire dock was painted in 2025. The level waterfront yard also features a firepit and sandy beach/walk-in water area. It is an incredible setting for entertaining, enjoying the lake, and simply soaking in the views. The cottage is easily accessible from the level lot and has been extensively updated, including a complete kitchen remodel in 2026 with new flooring, backsplash, island, and appliances, new LVP flooring throughout most of the home, and an updated full bathroom with a walk-in shower. A spacious deck overlooks the level backyard and lake, providing another great spot to relax and enjoy the views. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and 1 half bathroom. Other major improvements include a new roof in 2026 and a new HVAC system in 2025. A large storage shed near the water provides plenty of room for lake toys, tools, and outdoor equipment. Sold Turn-Key and ready to enjoy from day one!
