Description

Elegant Waterside Family Retreat with Private Dock

Light, water, and peaceful spaces shape the experience of this elegant Smith Lake residence. Floor to ceiling windows bring the quiet cove into full view, giving each day a soft glow from sunrise to dusk. Set just above the shoreline, the home carries a calm, refined presence, with gathering areas that feel closely connected to the deep green water and wooded horizon. The main living room rises around a tall stone fireplace and graceful window wall, creating a space that encourages slow mornings, long conversations, and an effortless sense of comfort.

Inside, the tone remains warm and inviting. The primary kitchen features wood cabinetry, generous counters, and bar seating that naturally draws people together for coffee or evening appetizers. A second kitchen on the lower level adds convenience for larger groups, while multiple lounges and media spaces allow everyone to unwind in their own way. Bedrooms are arranged with a thoughtful touch, from serene king suites to welcoming twin and bunk rooms, offering every generation a place to rest with ease after days by the water.

Outdoors, life settles into an easy rhythm. A broad lawn leads to the private dock and covered boat slip, where time drifts between swimming, paddling, fishing, and evening boat rides beneath open sky. The upper decks and patio serve as quiet spots for lingering over dinner as the lake turns still. With its view filled interiors, generous gathering spaces, and direct access to a peaceful cove, the home creates an elegant lake experience that feels as natural as it is restorative.
