You simply do not build homes like this anymore. This remarkable waterfront estate stands apart for its quality of construction, craftsmanship and materials that would be extraordinarily difficult to duplicate today. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed, it feels substantial, timeless and refined. A soaring 23-foot foyer sets the tone with a custom marble compass medallion, Tuscan columns and a sweeping staircase of white marble, black walnut and hand-forged wrought iron. Handmade eight-foot arched walnut doors, rich millwork and natural stone carry the same level of detail throughout. Nearly 8,000 square feet under roof blends elegant interiors with relaxed lake living. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen featuring Viking appliances, exceptional finishes and generous workspace, flowing effortlessly into the main living and entertaining areas. Expansive windows frame sweeping Smith Mountain Lake and mountain views, while the walkout lower level offers a media/theater room, wet bar and direct access outdoors. Balconies, terraces and patios extend the living spaces toward the water, complete with an outdoor kitchen for effortless entertaining. Privately set at the end of a cul-de-sac in Blue Heron Estates, this is a rare combination of extraordinary construction, timeless design and an exceptional waterfront setting.
