Water Access Property at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, refers to real estate (homes, lots, condos, or townhomes) not directly situated on the water. This means they do not have a property line directly bordering the lake (non-waterfront), but it is still part of a community or development that provides its owners with access to the water. This off-water real estate is typically located within a short distance of the lake and is a desirable option for buyers seeking the lake lifestyle without the higher cost associated with a private shoreline and dock. These properties are often favored for their lower price tag as well as offering a balance between enjoying the recreational opportunities of the lake and having a less demanding property to manage.
Water access can come in various forms, depending on the specific community, and may include things such as:
– Deeded boat slips at a community dock or marina.
– Community docks/boathouses for launching and temporary docking.
– Boat ramps for easy launching.
– Community recreational areas on the lake shoreline.
– Designated paths or common areas leading to the water.
Key Features of Water Access Property:
1. No Private Shoreline: The property itself is set back from the lake and does not include the shoreline.
2. Community Access: Access to the lake is shared with other residents of the community or subdivision.
3. Lower Price Point: It is often a more affordable way to enjoy the lake lifestyle compared to actual waterfront property.
4. Less Maintenance: Owners do not have the upkeep and maintenance responsibilities of a private dock or shoreline management.
In short, it offers the perks of being able to use the lake for recreation without the higher cost and maintenance associated with having the water right at your property line.
