Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia
Population: 18,000
Located in Pittsylvania County
The Smith Mountain Lake area is surrounded by a gorgeous, 40-mile long, 20,600 acre lake, with 500 miles of shoreline, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of rural southwestern Virginia. At Smith Mountain Lake, you'll find wonderful places and people. Our area's great natural beauty--from the waters and woods to the Blue Ridge Mountains--is the perfect destination for your very own style of fun, whether you seek days full of activities or just plain relaxing. The lake was created to generate electricity, and to help manage water flows downstream and nearby. The damming of the Blackwater and Roanoke Rivers formed Smith Mountain Lake in a filling process that began on September 24, 1963 -- and ended almost 2.5 years later on March 7, 1966.
Vacationers come from all over to fish, enjoy the water sports and play on the 500 miles of shoreline. They usually end up discovering many unexpected delights. Friendly people and genuine hospitality make everyone feel welcome and there’s always something new to do.
World-class historical sites, unique shopping opportunities from antiques to art galleries, the latest fashions, fantastic dining and entertainment options, and simply sitting back and enjoying the
glorious scenery make everyday complete. Sound too good to be true? Just wait until you see our beautiful sunsets.
Be forewarned though….once you visit, you may not want to leave. In fact, our little community of 18,000 has grown in large part to the many vacationers who have decided to relocate permanently. The weather, our central location and a small town atmosphere make Smith Mountain Lake an excellent place to raise a family, start a business or retire.
The lake offers a wide range of housing types and prices. Attractive lakefront studio condominium resales start at $110K -- while extraordinary single-family homes, on large level lots with Smith Mountain Lake's best views, can top $2 million. With 500 miles of shoreline, you can find a first or second home in a quiet cove with just a few neighbors in sight -- or retire to a well-planned community with shared amenities that include swimming pools, boat slips and lifts, and private golf courses.
Smith Mountain Lake real estate is diverse! You can spend $25K-$75K for an undeveloped off-lake lot with no water access, $75K-$150K for an undeveloped off-lake lot with water access or a deeded boat slip, $300K-$750K for a large undeveloped gently sloping lakefront lot with a nice waterview, $200K+ for a new off-water single-family custom 3-bedroom home with no water access, $300K-$450K for a newly-constructed lakefront 2-3 bedroom condominium with boat lift, $600K-$900K for a 2200-square-foot lakefront home with a mountainview, $800K+ for a 3000-square-foot lakefront retirement home in a premium development with its own golf course, or $1.5+ million for one of the lake's finest 8,000-square-foot homes.
