Description

Designer Waterfront Hideaway at Point William

"Smith Lake's clear waters, wooded shorelines, and quiet coves have made it one of Alabama's most treasured lake destinations for boating, fishing, and year-round relaxation." — Alabama Tourism Department

Highlights
• Private waterfront setting with panoramic Smith Lake views and a double-slip dock

• Hot tub, fire pit, kayaks, paddleboards, lily pad, and direct lake access

• Architecturally recognized design with access to a gated community pool and clubhouse

Nestled along the peaceful shoreline of Lewis Smith Lake, this thoughtfully designed lakeside retreat offers a memorable escape where modern architecture and natural beauty come together. Located within the private Point William community, the home enjoys expansive open-water views while resting in the shelter of a quiet cove, creating an ideal setting for boating, swimming, and relaxing by the water.

Inside, custom craftsmanship and designer finishes complement walls of windows that frame the lake from nearly every room. The open-concept living spaces are warm and inviting, featuring multiple gathering areas, a gourmet kitchen with premium appliances, concrete countertops, a butler's pantry with a separate ice maker, and a keeping room surrounded by panoramic views of both the hillside and the water. Covered porches and outdoor living spaces extend the experience, making it easy to enjoy every season on the lake.

Accommodations are thoughtfully arranged for families and groups, with two queen guest bedrooms on the upper level, a finished loft featuring four built-in twin beds, and a private primary suite tucked away on the lower level. The primary retreat opens directly to the lakeside deck and includes a spacious ensuite with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, creating a peaceful place to unwind after a day outdoors.

Life outside centers around the lake. A beautifully illuminated lower deck features outdoor dining, a gas grill, fireplace, hot tub nestled among natural boulders, outdoor shower, and a Solo Stove fire pit perfect for evenings under the stars. Just steps away, the private double-slip dock is fully equipped with kayaks, paddleboards, an inflatable lily pad, shaded seating, Adirondack chairs, and a boat lift available with prior approval. Guests also enjoy access to the gated community's hilltop pool and clubhouse. Featured in Architectural Digest, Birmingham Home & Garden, and The Lakeside Life, this distinctive waterfront retreat pairs elevated design with one of Smith Lake's most scenic settings.

Please note: The home is located in a peaceful, rural area of Smith Lake, accessed by narrow, winding roads. There are 25 steps from the parking area to the entrance, and while AT&T provides reliable service, other cellular carriers may have limited reception. High-speed fiber Wi-Fi is available throughout the home, including for Wi-Fi calling.
