This is a rare find at Smith Mountain Lake! 18.02 acres with over 120 feet of waterfront-perfect whether you're dreaming of a private estate, multiple homesites, a small farm, hunting retreat, or even a future development. The land has so much to offer: a natural beach in a quiet cove, two creeks (one spring-fed) flowing into the Gills Creek area of SML, and incredible long-range views of both Blue Ridge Mountains and Smith Mountain itself. You'll catch both sunrise and sunset skies here, with at least four different spots that would make amazing home sites. The property is a mix of open grass fields and mature hardwoods-dogoods, redbuds, and more. A gravel road has already been started and trails wind through the woods. There's even a small stream along the edge of the land if you'd like to have livestock. With approximately 661 feet of frontage on Crafts Ford Rd. and 1,221 feet on Houseman Farm Ln. , you've got great access while still feeling tucked away. And the location is super convenient by both land and water. Zoned A-1, this tract is full of potential and ready for someone to make their own.
