Before long, spring will show up at Smith Mountain Lake, bringing beauty of a blooming landscape, the brightness of summer, and....weddings! Which means now is the time for brides and grooms to plan the what, when and where of their big day. In recent years, Smith Mountain Lake has emerged as a prime wedding location for locals who are already familiar with its attraction and quite a few distant couples who find it to be a wedding day dream come true.

Often, second home or retiring buyers are in a position to achieve a property that meets not only their needs, but longtime dreams as well. Perhaps you are in the market for something more upscale than what you’ve lived in previously, the spacious luxury home you’ve been working hard toward and dreaming of for years. You’ve spent a long time envisioning high ceilings, open entertainment areas, a wine cellar, theater, custom cabinetry, additional bedrooms for your growing family, bathrooms with special tiling, kitchens with granite countertops, and especially those small touches such as crown molding and wainscoting that complete a high … (0 comments)
