Lake Martin is a place where families come to make memories. The lake and its parks, marinas, points, and islands have become known throughout the country as one of the finest in the south. It’s known as Alabama’s Freshwater Coast.

The lake was formed by the construction of Martin Dam on the Tallapoosa River. Martin Dam powerhouse is used to generate hydroelectric power for Alabama Power Company. Construction of Martin Dam began in 1923 and was completed in 1926.

The sparkling waters of Lake Martin offer tons of entertainment for homeowners and visitors alike. Boating, wake boarding, paddle boarding, skiing, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and cliff jumping from the famed Chimney Rock are a few in-water activities enjoyed by all. Hiking, golfing, bird watching, and horseback riding are a few land attractions.

The lake area hosts many events throughout the year, including fishing tournaments, fireworks on July 4th, and the Alexander City Jazz Festival, held every year in downtown Alexander City. The Jazz Fest has rocked East Central Alabama with jazz, blues, and southern rock for the past 30 years. Several art and craft shows are held at Russell Crossroads throughout the year with great talent from around the southeast.

From award-winning dining options to the best dives around, Lake Martin has you covered.

Why buy Lowder new construction?

Real estate at Lake Martin is currently in high demand. When considering a new home purchase at Lake Martin many people start with the typical MLS real estate listings search, checking out open houses, and working with a realtor. The property value of new construction is typically comparable to those of existing homes in the area. Some other reasons to consider working directly with a new construction homebuilder:

New condition
From appliances to the HVAC system, from plumbing to electrical, all aspects of a new construction home are, well, new. This fact means you’ll enjoy a move-in-ready, low-maintenance home with no need for renovation.

Energy-efficient
New construction homes are built to higher codes of energy efficiency than you’ll find in older homes, so you’ll save on utility costs while protecting the environment.

Avoid unexpected costs
With a new construction home, there’s no outdated plumbing to repair, no residual lead paint to remove, no roof to replace, and no unexpected cracks in the foundation.

Customization options
With an older home, “customizing” generally means you must pay extra to renovate the house to meet your needs. With a new construction home, you make those individual choices as you go, so you get to make it yours when you buy it — not afterward.
