Dreams Come True at Smith Mountain Lake

Sabatino Buys Dream Lot 54


Laura and Dave Sabatino have created lasting memories on Smith Mountain Lake. On May 20, 2003, the couple went on their first date and have been taking on life’s adventures together ever since. Laura and Dave got engaged, were married on the break wall near her aunt’s home and celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary at Smith Mountain Lake. Over the years, the Charlotte, N.C., couple has returned to the lake again and again to visit Laura’s aunt and enjoy the lake’s charms.

“I just love how crystal clear the water is,” Laura said. “This lake is simply perfect.” With miles and miles of shoreline nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge, Smith Mountain Lake is well-known among residents of Virginia, North Carolina, and even the D.C. area for its scenery and activities, making it a perfect weekend getaway or retirement location.

With each visit to Smith Mountain Lake, the idea of buying a vacation home grew stronger for the Sabatinos, but they couldn’t find the right property. New developments on the lake are scarce, and they didn’t want to settle, given how much the lake means to them.

Then, during a visit early last spring, Laura and Dave boated over to Kennedy Shores’ shoreline and immediately knew this was where they wanted to call home. They made a 10 a.m. appointment the first day of the Pre-Construction Lot Sale Event—fortuitously held last May 20, the anniversary of their first date—and received first dibs on a lot.
 

“We fell in love all over again, 14 years to the day of our first date, with the lot we intend to build our summer and, one day, retirement home. It’ll be a while before we can build but we are thrilled we did it!”
 

An Exciting New Lakeshore Development

“As the Sabatinos know, it’s been many years since a new community has been offered on Smith Mountain Lake, so we’re proud to be bring Kennedy Shores to the marketplace,” said Dan Girouard, vice president of Frontier Land Development. “The very first time we looked at this property, we had the same reaction as Laura and Dave. We knew it was one of the last great tracts available for development on the lake, and it was a very special piece of land.”

Girouard and his colleagues at Frontier Land Development felt it had the right ingredients to create a unique and wonderful community for people to enjoy all that Smith Mountain Lake has to offer. They purchased 110+ acres at auction and are now pleased to be offering lots—half with direct lakefront properties and all of which offer spectacular lake and mountain views.

 

Pre-construction sales launched late May 2017 and roughly seventy five percent of the lots in Kennedy Shores have already been purchased. Lot owners began construction in the fall of 2018. Buyers have traveled from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the Carolinas to get their last chance to take advantage of buyer leverage with lots priced below market value. 

 

The Lifestyle of the Lake

Girouard chalks the high demand up to the pristine surroundings at Smith Mountain Lake and the amenities planned for Kennedy Shores. “We’re offering a private community boat ramp with tending pier and a private natural sandy community beach with covered pavilion that includes a bathroo, picnic area, grills and parking” he said. “This community is set up for lot owners to take advantage of everything Smith Mountain Lake has to offer, giving families a relaxing place to retreat for the weekend, or all year long.”

Known as the “Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains,” Smith Mountain Lake is known far and wide as a true escape, but an easy drive to major cities such as Charlotte, Richmond and even Washington, D.C. On the lake, visitors enjoy water adventures such as bass fishing, canoeing and wakeboarding in the cool, clear and deep blue waters, surrounded by mature hardwood and evergreen tree coverings and gently sloping hills and meadows. Activities beyond the waterfront include stunning hiking trails, golfing, horseback riding and quiet scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

“It’s really one of the best locations east of the Appalachian Mountains,” Girouard said. We’re proud to be giving couples, families and retirees a new development where they can own real estate on Virginia’s largest and premier lake.”

It’ll be a while before we can build but we are thrilled we did it!”
