Property description
Milan Manor is a once‑in‑a‑generation private estate offering a level of scale, privacy, and lakefront control that is virtually impossible to replicate at Smith Mountain Lake. Situated on 26+ acres of contiguous, private lakefront land with over 650 feet of pristine shoreline, the property combines historic character, modern luxury, and complete seclusion in a setting designed for families seeking legacy ownership. With the closest neighboring residence more than a mile away, Milan Manor delivers true estate‑level privacy—a rarity on any major lakefront, and especially so at Smith Mountain Lake. The Land & Setting • Total Acreage: 26+ acres of contiguous private lakefront • Shoreline: 650+ feet of rip‑rapped shoreline frontage along Smith Mountain Lake • Views: Mountain views, water views, and long lake vistas • Privacy: Estate‑scale seclusion with no visible neighboring density • Topography: Gently rolling land suitable for pasture, trails, and equestrian use The scale and configuration of the land allow Milan Manor to function as a true private compound, equally suited as a family retreat, legacy estate, or lakefront equestrian property.
