A record-breaking sale on Smith Lake
According to online reports, the lakefront property is located at 390 County Road 2015 in Crane Hill.
The estate spans nearly seven acres and includes more than 1,200 feet of shoreline along Smith Lake. Its combination of acreage, privacy and extensive waterfront helped distinguish it from other luxury properties in the region.
The sellers were represented by Lake Homes Realty agents John Robert Elliott and Justin Dyar.
