Resolute at Lake Martin

Hidden among the pines on approximately two acres in Eclectic, Milt and Angie Smith found their haven at Lake Martin in a house they now fondly call Resolute. After spending years enjoying their lake cabin in The Narrows, the couple stumbled upon this one-of-a-kind home by chance, drawn in by its rare architectural design and the peaceful serenity the property offers.

At the time, the Birmingham couple had no intention of purchasing a new lake home. While small, their previous Lake Martin cabin suited the couple’s needs.
