Finding an affordable waterfront can sometimes be challenging in most waterfront areas.  The photo below is a beautiful and gentle waterfront lot located on Smith Mountain Lake.   Smith Mountain Lake located in Southwest Virginia offers over 500 miles of shoreline for boating, fishing, sailing, skiing and more

This lot offers 1 acre with 119' of good deep  shoreline for $299,900.  Community water and easy location to shopping and restaurants, makes this a great lot to build your Cabin, Getaway, Lake Home and Boatdock.   Smith Mountain Lake allows up to a 1,500 stationary covered dock with electric lifts and cabana rooms on lots like this, based on the amount of waterfront.   If you have 100-300 feet of shoreline you can have up to 1,500 sq. ft of dock,   300-600' allows 2,500 sq. ft of dock and over 600 feet of shoreline allows up to 3500 sq ft of dock.  

Smith Mountain Lake has been home to several well known celebrities including Actress Sissy Spacek, Author-David Balducci and several more.   Our taxes are extremely low at 50 cents per 100 of assessed value, so if you own this lot your taxes would be around $1,500 a year for property taxes.

Some people buy lake lots and build great docks and then come down and hang out on their boats, cabin cruisers or house boats.
