This spacious home is located in a quiet deep water cove near
mile marker R25. There's an award winning vineyard about a mile
from the house, offering tours and tastings. Several marinas are
nearby for food, tackle, and launching boats. The house is
within 5 minute boat ride to Hales Ford Bridge, a center of
activity that includes shops, restaurants, miniature golf, ice
cream shops, and nightlife. You needn't worry about food
essentials; grocery shopping is less than ten minutes away at the
intersection of 122 and Hendricks Store Road (655). Thirty
minutes down the road is the historic town of Bedford, which was
voted one of the best towns of its size in America. While in
Bedford, you must visit the National D-Day Memorial. If you
want some variety, you can drive, motorcycle, or hike the scenic
Blue Ridge Mountains or the Peaks of Otter -- which are just 45
miles away. Once you visit Smith Mountain Lake, you'll want to
return again and again.
Both Explore Park (near Roanoke) and Thomas Jefferson's Poplar
Forest residence (near Lynchburg) are less than one hour away.
NASCAR's Martinsville race (held twice a year) is also a one-hour
drive away. The Booker T. Washington and Jubal Early childhood
homes are just a short drive from Smith Mountain Lake.
Charlottesville (Monticello and the University of VA) and
Blacksburg, VA (Home of Virginia Tech) are just two hours away.
Ferrum College, with its summer dinner theatre, is just one hour
away. Once you visit the chalet, you'll want to return again and
again.
