About this property
Beautiful Lake View with Gentle Sloping Lot to Lake
Peaceful Lakefront Retreat
Welcome to your serene Smith Mountain Lake getaway—where relaxation meets recreation. Nestled on a quiet point lot along the main channel near R21, this clean and well-maintained home offers the perfect blend of privacy, wide water views, and easy lake access. Just minutes from shopping and dining, it's centrally located yet tucked away for true tranquility.
Lake Life at Its Best
The gently sloping lot leads to a private sandy shoreline just 100 feet from the home—ideal for swimming, floating, or simply unwinding as the waves lap at your feet. Wade into the shallow, muck-free water or make a splash from the dock, where the water is about 10 feet deep. Lounge in the sun, relax in the shade, and open the boathouse and enjoy music by the lake. Paddle out on a kayak or float the day away—this is lakefront living at its finest.
Enjoy beautiful sunsets and peaceful views from the house, perfectly positioned just off the main channel for calm waters without sacrificing the scenery. In the evening, gather around the firepit under the stars, or take a short walk to enjoy the community’s full range of amenities.
On the Inside
Inside the entry level has the master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and walk in closet. Kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, dining area, and living room. Walk out onto large composite deck with wide water views. Upper level offers two bedrooms with a shared full bath. Down in the walk out basement is a family room, wet bar, full bathroom, and sleeping area, as well as a washing machine and dryer.
Centrally Located
Situated in one of the best spots on the lake—peacefully secluded yet close to everything. For evening fun, head over to Bridgewater Plaza, just minutes away, featuring lakeside restaurants, live entertainment, and the area’s best pastries at Smith Mountain Lake Coffee House. You'll also find plenty of nearby hiking trails, local events, and a wide variety of dining options around the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Don Byrne
We’re a family of five based in Northern Virginia who fell in love with Smith Mountain Lake after years of searching for the perfect getaway. We finally found it in October 2024—a place that felt just right for our family’s needs and values.
Don and Monica are originally from the Midwest (Chicago and Detroit) and, though we've lived in Northern Virginia for over 20 years, we still carry that Midwestern spirit of warmth, simplicity, and hospitality.
We have three children, our youngest is in middle school and our oldest attends the University of Lynchburg—just about an hour away—where she plays on the women’s soccer team.
This home has become a special retreat for us: a place to reconnect, recharge, and soak in the beauty and peace of lake life together.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood after an extensive search for the right place. Many lakefront homes we visited felt overly ostentatious—more like second homes than true lake retreats. We weren’t looking for luxury or a fixer-upper; we wanted something well-maintained and move-in ready—a comfortable, authentic lake house that embraced the lake life. This property fit the bill perfectly.
It was also important to us that the walk to the water was short and gentle, not long or steep. We wanted a dock with deep water at the end—perfect for jumping in—while still being able to wade in from shore without stepping into muck or seaweed. The Isle of Pines subdivision sealed the deal with its peaceful setting, walkable access to community amenities, and spectacular lake views—without the noise or traffic of a busy main channel.

What makes this property unique
What makes this home truly special is how rare it is to find all the key elements of ideal lake living in one place. There are few homes at Smith Mountain Lake that offer the complete package: a gently sloping lot that makes access to the water effortless, uninterrupted views of the lake that bring serenity every day, and a peaceful setting tucked just off the main channel—calm and quiet, yet never far from the action.
Add to that a private sandy shoreline—perfect for wading, swimming, or just relaxing at the water’s edge without muck or seaweed—and a dock with deep water for jumping in or floating the afternoon away. Combine this with walkable access to community amenities like tennis courts, walking trails, and a boat launch, and you have a rare blend of beauty, convenience, and lifestyle. It's not just a lake house—it's a place where lake life comes easy.
