Sunrise Point is one of Smith Mountain Lake’s true LAKE style retreat properties with astounding views of the water and Smith Mountain. The home is nestled on a private wooded lot, under a canopy of mature trees, amidst azalea, rhododendron and evergreen gardens, provides low maintenance landscaping to keep you focused on the real reasons you have retreated to the lake! Here you can relax in a solitary hammock that looks like it is floating on the reflected clouds over the water or escape the summer sun and nap with friends in the multi- “hammock nest” area under the shade of cooling pines. Choose from multiple outdoor entertainment areas attached to the home to enjoy your free time; a private covered seating area for morning coffee off of the master bedroom or a glass of wine from bar seats on the elevated deck. Curl yourself up on a cushioned daybed to read, or decide between dining on a second upper level deck or gathering around the barn wood farm table for a candlelight meal on one of the two covered porches. Turn the children loose in a nearby play area with an outdoor chalkboard and games, or gather the company and lounge together on a spectacular over-sized bench soaking up the sun and panoramic views of the lake. Ring the historic house bell to rally everyone to join you for a cookout on the sandy beach area surrounding the the seven foot fire pit out on the point with its 180 view of the lake by day or bold bonfires and stargazing by night.

​

Curtained by towering pines that frame an endless display of artistic vistas from every room in the home, the views will simply take your breath away. The floor to ceiling glass across the entire length of the home provides a continuous slideshow display of a never ending mix of color and light, water and weather, wildlife, as well as a continuous parade of every imaginable form of man made aquatic travel. Watch boat races, bird migrations, schooling fish, cloudscapes and walls of weather at a moment's notice. Discover wildlife everywhere in and around the property. A diverse variety of birds delight with sight and sound. If the sunrises don’t wake you the echoing calls of the loons will! Everything from flying squirrels to foxes are here to observe. The majestic eagle and great blue heron grace the varied tree canopy and dock regularly. The legendary “big bass” hangs under the dock and not to be forgotten are the friendly pair of resident box turtles that turn up regularly when you least expect them. Sunrise Point’s photographic opportunities are among the best on the entire lake due to the position of the land in relation to the mountain and weather patterns. Views from the property and the peninsula have been featured in local newspapers and Virginia tourism boards. You don’t have to lift your head off the pillow in any room to take it all in! Just sit back and enjoy the show!

The uniquely designed interior of the home incorporates 200-year- old barn board harvested and meticulously hand-hewed from a local Virginia farm. Cathedral ceilings with exposed beams tie together continuous walls of glass that sit above a 23-foot built in window seat overlooking the lake. In the cooler months warm up sitting on the raised slate hearth beside the floor to ceiling stone fireplaces found on each level. If size matters, the already generously sized kitchen can be doubled by expanding onto an existing “build ready” foundation. If you brought more than your bathing suit to the lake, there is ample closet space to be found in an enormous walk through master bedroom closet or storage in two additional dressing room closets as well as double built in dressers and cabinetry. All of this out of sight storage leaves your master bedroom free for enjoying the view of the lake through one and a half walls of glass. If you like numbers, the four and a half baths get everyone washed up at once. If you have variety in your family and guest accommodation requirements, the home has multiple configuration possibilities. Set things up for three master suites, or organize the home with two master suites, a bedroom, and a 900 square foot bonus room where you can make your dream space come true. Create the man cave to end all man caves, a family cinematic room, an entertainment game hall, a private studio, or mother-in-law living quarters. Okay, maybe the man cave and not a room for the mother-in law--this is a Lake Retreat! Come see for yourself. Choose your dream. The possibilities are endless.

Sunrise Point hopes to be your home soon!
