"Buy land, they're not making it anymore."
— Mark Twain
The Barn at Smith Lake
The flagship property is a 25-acre private lakefront estate featuring a world-class event venue and five luxury homes. The property includes approximately 2,250 feet of waterfront frontage, deep water boat docks, and 14 acres of undeveloped land available for future expansion. The venue has been the top-rated wedding destination in the Smith Lake area since its opening.
The Main Barn
5,500 sq ft climate-controlled event space with 6,000 sq ft of outdoor space. Capacity for 250 guests with full AV, catering infrastructure, and stunning lake views.
Five Luxury Homes Including The Glass House
The Glass House, designed by Christopher Architecture & Interiors, was nominated for "House of the Year" by ArchDaily. Combined capacity of 60+ overnight guests with 15 beds and 12.5+ bathrooms. Valued at $7.6M–$10.2M as standalone residences.
Waterfront Amenities
Deep water dock, boat access, lakefront event areas, fire pits, hiking trails, and panoramic lake views from every vantage point.
The Expansion Parcel
Located directly across the lake from The Barn, this 49-acre parcel presents extraordinary development potential. The land includes foundational road infrastructure and utility agreements already in place, significantly reducing initial development costs. Waterfront frontage is valued at $800–$1,200 per foot.
Options include purchasing outright for approximately $5M or securing a 3-year option to buy for a $1M option fee. This parcel can be developed as a planned community (modeled after the successful Silverock Cove where property values doubled), used for luxury accommodation expansion, or partially sold to fund development.

The Best Hidden Gem in America
Smith Lake is one of the top 2–3 cleanest lakes in the entire United States, a 21,200-acre crystal-clear reservoir with 713 miles of shoreline and depths reaching 264 feet — the deepest lake in Alabama. Fed entirely by underground springs with no river sediment, the water clarity rivals Lake Tahoe. A $250 million world-class resort backed by the Poarch Creek Indians is planned, featuring a Marriott-branded 5-star hotel.

Area Development Catalyst
Smith Lake is undergoing a transformative development phase. A $250 million world-class resort is planned, backed by the Poarch Creek Indians, featuring a Marriott-branded 5-star hotel with conference facilities and golf courses. Recent legislation (SB322, passed 2025) enables resort development and annexation into Cullman.
This rising tide of investment and infrastructure development will significantly increase property values and visitor traffic to the area, directly benefiting The Barn at Smith Lake.
