English Country Elegance Meets Lakefront Living at Smith Mountain Lake

Some homes simply offer beautiful views. Others tell a story.

315 Upland Shores Drive in Penhook, Virginia is one of those rare properties where timeless architecture, thoughtful craftsmanship, and breathtaking Smith Mountain Lake scenery come together to create something truly special.

From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the character that sets this home apart. Inspired by classic English Country design, every detail has been carefully considered—from the hand-hewn wood beams and stacked-stone fireplaces to the custom cabinetry and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame spectacular views of the lake, surrounding mountains, the main channel, a peaceful cove, and the iconic Peaks of Otter.

Luxury That Has Been Beautifully Updated

While the home's architectural charm remains timeless, recent renovations have added modern comfort and sophistication.

Renowned craftsman Tim Rutrough has thoughtfully updated the primary suite and powder room with elegant quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, designer lighting, heated tile flooring, and a stunning curbless walk-in shower. The primary bedroom also features new oak hardwood flooring and beautifully designed custom closets that provide both function and style.

Throughout the home, LED lighting and updated electrical switches offer a fresh, modern feel while preserving the warmth and character that make this property unique.

A Kitchen Designed for Gathering

Whether preparing a quiet dinner or entertaining family and friends, the kitchen is designed to impress.

Highlights include:

• Sub-Zero refrigerator
• Thermador five-burner gas range
• KitchenAid dishwasher (2021)
• Farm sink and prep sink
• Beautiful Quartzite countertops
• Abundant custom cabinetry

It's a space where functionality meets timeless design.

Indoor and Outdoor Living at Its Finest

One of the greatest joys of lake living is enjoying every season outdoors, and this home provides multiple spaces to do just that.

Start your morning with coffee on the screened porch while watching the sunrise over Smith Mountain Lake. Spend afternoons relaxing on the open patio or enjoying the newly expanded dock and sandy beach. In the evenings, gather around one of three fireplaces featuring convenient remote-controlled gas logs, creating cozy spaces throughout the home.

Space for Family, Friends, and Hobbies

The lower level offers exceptional flexibility for today's lifestyle.

Guests will appreciate the comfortable accommodations, while the spacious family and game room—with its impressive stone fireplace and custom wet bar—creates the perfect setting for entertaining. An oversized flex room provides endless possibilities as a workshop, art studio, fitness room, media room, or additional sleeping space.

Whether you're hosting large family gatherings or enjoying peaceful weekends at the lake, this home adapts beautifully to your needs.

Peace of Mind with Important Mechanical Updates

• Upper level 14 SEER HVAC system (2021)
• Updated lighting throughout

A Lifestyle That Extends Beyond Your Property
