Live waterfront listings in Penhook, with the local context Paul teaches in the Definitive Guide.
Where Penhook sits
Penhook stretches across Franklin and Pittsylvania Counties at the upper end of the Blackwater channel — one of the most rural, unhurried corners of Smith Mountain Lake. It appeals to buyers who want maximum privacy, natural shoreline, and long cove views, with the Water's Edge golf community nearby on the Franklin side.
Penhook also keeps the lake's original landmark: Smith Mountain Dam stands at this end of the water, and its visitor center — with three-dimensional terrain maps of the lake — is the best free geography lesson a new buyer can get. Add one of the lake's best-loved institutions, the floating Boat Church, and three marinas serving the deep lower water, and "rural" starts to look well-appointed.

Two similar-looking homes on the same cove can differ by hundreds of thousands of dollars — for reasons you can't see in photos. Paul wrote the guide so you can learn the lake before you love the listing.
