Perched atop a breathtaking rolling landscape with sweeping views of Smith Mountain Lake, this special 3-acre retreat offers a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy, and outdoor recreation. Surrounded by pastoral scenery with 45+ acres of open pasture stretching across the front yard and over 5,000 acres of the Smith Mountain Cooperative Wildlife Management Area bordering the backyard, the setting is truly one-of-a-kind. From sunset over the lake to wildlife roaming the fields and mountains beyond, every direction offers a view worth capturing. Designed for comfortable one-level living, the home also features a full unfinished basement, providing the opportunity to nearly double the square footage and create additional living, or guest space tailored to your vision. Whether you are searching for a peaceful primary residence, SML retreat, equestrian escape, or that farm like living, this property delivers. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking trails directly behind the property, along with a short gravel road ride to nearby horse stables. Positioned on the quieter side of the mountain with minimal hunting pressure, the property is home to thriving populations of deer, turkey, bear, and abundant small game. Adding to its long-term appeal, the property overlooks Sanctuary Bay, where luxury waterfront homes command multi-million-dollar values -- a rare neighboring influence that enhances both the prestige and future equity potential.
