Lakeside Living: High-End Escapes on Alabama’s Most Iconic Shorelines

There’s nothing quite like lake season in Alabama. Whether you're escaping for the weekend or settling into a second home, the laid-back luxury of lake life just hits differently once the days get longer and the water starts calling. And if you're dreaming of upgrading your summer plans, we’ve rounded up three of the most spectacular listings currently available on two of Alabama’s crown jewels—Smith Lake and Lake Martin.

Let’s just say… they’re anything but ordinary.

Smith Lake Serenity: The Estates of Moss Rock Pointe

119 County Road 2112 #51, Bremen, AL
$3,598,831 | 5 Beds | 5 Baths | Listed with Walker Jones

This one’s a showstopper. Set on a rare double-estate lot in the exclusive Moss Rock Pointe community, this Southern Living-inspired masterpiece has it all: panoramic Ryan Creek views, over 6,000 square feet of elevated design, and every feature you could ever want for entertaining on the lake. Think: two kitchens, two laundry rooms, and more outdoor space than you can imagine—including a dock, fireplace, and those signature Smith Lake sunsets. And yes, it’s fully furnished inside and out, ready for summer from day one.

Channel Views & Covered Porches on Smith Lake

87 County Road 2117, Bremen, AL
$2,299,000 | 5 Beds | 4 Baths | Listed with Justin Dyar

Just down the shoreline, another custom beauty offers front-row seats to the water. This 5-bedroom retreat sits right on Ryan Creek and is built to soak in the views from every angle. Inside, the kitchen features a massive island and gas range, while the master suite stays cozy year-round. The real magic? A lower-level terrace complete with fireplace, outdoor TV, and second kitchen—just waiting for your next gameday or sunset dinner.

The Ultimate Lake Martin Escape

2082 River Oaks Drive, Jacksons Gap, AL
$3,570,000 | 4 Beds | 5 Baths | Listed with Drew Wilder

Lake Martin is always in season—and this nearly 6,000 sq ft River Oaks estate is one of the most exceptional we’ve seen. Custom-designed with cathedral ceilings, luxe finishes, and west-facing views that melt right into the horizon, it’s a true destination home. The kitchen is a chef’s dream (Thermador appliances, wine fridge, ice maker), while the master suite offers spa-like serenity. Multiple living spaces, a home gym and sauna, full summer kitchen, and smart home technology make this a lakeside retreat that’s built for every chapter of life.
