Tucked at the end of a long gravel drive, this charming log home reveals itself in an unforgettable way--private, peaceful, and positioned on DEEP, CLEAR WATER with an extraordinary 10.74 ACRES OF SURROUNDING LAND across two parcels. From the moment the current owner first arrived, it was clear--this was the one. A setting that offers a rare combination of significant acreage, waterfront, and PRIVACY, all while remaining just minutes from the conveniences and amenities of Westlake. The home itself captures the warmth and character of a true ''lake feel,'' featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with a main-level primary suite for easy living and additional bedrooms upstairs for family and guests. Natural textures and an inviting design create a space that feels both comfortable and timeless Below, tall ceilings in the unfinished basement offer exceptional flexibility--ideal for storage or ready to be finished, effectively doubling the home's living space and unlocking tremendous future potential. Outside, enjoy a quiet, protected cove with minimal boat traffic--DEEP WATER, just the occasional fisherman drifting by. The dock with party deck invites long days on the water, while more than 10 acres provide a remarkable sense of seclusion and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find at Smith Mountain Lake. A detached two-car garage adds additional convenience. The property consists of two parcels totaling 10.74 acres, including an additional 5.57-acre buildable lot, creating an exceptional opportunity to build another residence, create a family compound, or simply preserve the additional acreage as a substantial privacy buffer. With A-1 zoning and no HOA, the property also provides flexibility for use, including the potential for a vacation rental with a special use permit. Opportunities combining 10+ acres, waterfront, deep clear water, an additional buildable parcel, exceptional privacy, and proximity to Westlake are extraordinarily difficult to find. This is more than a lake home--it's an opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Smith Mountain Lake with room to enjoy today and possibilities for generations to come.
