John Coley — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 15:00:10 +0000

Lake Life Made Easy at Harbor Pointe Condo D102

Some properties at Lake Martin are all about simplifying things, and that’s exactly what Harbor Pointe Condo D102 does. Condo living takes a lot off your plate, and the location does the rest.

You’re located at Harbor Pointe in StillWaters. When you’re ready to get on the water, it’s just a short walk down to your deeded boat slip. It’s lake living without the friction, which is a big part of why this place feels so right.

Ground Level Condo with a Great View

There’s a quiet advantage to being on the ground floor. When everything is easy, when you can walk out, breathe in that lake air, and be on your boat in minutes, you stop overthinking it.

Your covered patio is also a great place to enjoy amazing lake views while relaxing with your morning coffee. Your deeded slip is sitting right out front just a few steps from the condo. Getting on the lake has never been easier.

Condo Features and Location

Unit D102 features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, making it a perfect place for weekend getaways or full-time living. Many upgrades have been made to this unit including the air conditioner being replaced in 2021 and the water heater in 2024.

One of the biggest advantages of this location is how connected it is by both land and water. By boat, it’s a short ride to some of Lake Martin’s most loved destinations. Enjoy a relaxed meal at The Landing at Harbor Pointe, head over to Bluffs Daiquiri Bar for lunch and drinks, or stop by Chuck’s Marina for fuel, live music, and a lively waterfront atmosphere.

By land, you’ve got quick access to local favorites when you feel like heading out. Off water dining like Niffer’s Place and Oskar’s are just a short drive away. The location of this condo makes it easy to be spontaneous and enjoy lake favorites without a lot of planning.

StillWaters and the Ease of a Well-Kept Community

StillWaters is a great community to live in. It’s one of the more complete communities on the lake, with amenities that actually such as tennis courts, a golf course, close access to Harbor Pointe Marina, and more. Harbor Pointe itself adds to that with a private sandy beach and lakeside pool that give you options on those slower days. And when most of the maintenance is handled through the association, it frees you up to enjoy the place instead of working on it.

Old 280 Boogie Near Lake Martin

John Coley — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 15:00:46 +0000

Old 280 Boogie Near Lake Martin Returns for Its 25th Anniversary

One of the most beloved spring traditions near Lake Martin is coming back in a big way. The Old 280 Boogie is celebrating its 25th anniversary on April 18 and 19, 2026, at Standard Deluxe in Waverly, Alabama. For a quarter century, this festival has brought together music, art, food, and Southern culture in a setting that feels more like a gathering of friends than a typical concert.

If you’ve never been, it’s hard to explain just how special it is. Standard Deluxe isn’t some massive commercial venue. It’s an intimate outdoor space surrounded by trees, where you bring your lawn chair, settle in, and let the weekend unfold.

The Music Lineup Looks Incredible

This year’s lineup reflects exactly what the Boogie has always done well — bringing in authentic artists with real roots and energy.

Saturday’s performers include Shovels & Rope, Cedric Burnside, Billy Allen + The Pollies, The Pine Hill Haints, and Abe Partridge. Sunday continues with Band of Heathens, The Heavy Heavy, Taylor Hunnicutt, Corey Harris and Cedric Watson, and The Last Jimenez.

The music starts late morning each day and runs into the evening, giving you a full day to relax, explore, and enjoy.

More Than Just a Concert

What makes the Old 280 Boogie stand out is that it’s not just about the music. It’s a full cultural experience. There’s local art, food vendors, and a crowd that appreciates the slower, more meaningful side of Southern living. It’s also been recognized as one of Alabama’s top events, even earning a spot as a Top 10 event not to miss by Alabama Tourism.

Kids 12 and under get in free, and the event remains intentionally simple with general admission lawn seating. Bring a chair, find your spot, and stay awhile.

Why Lake Martin Locals Love It

For Lake Martin homeowners and visitors, the Old 280 Boogie is an easy addition to a spring weekend at the lake. It’s about an hour drive, making it perfect for heading over in the morning and returning to the lake that evening.

Events like this are part of what makes the Lake Martin area so special. You’re not just buying property here. You’re buying into a lifestyle filled with unique traditions, live music, and memorable weekends.

Early bird tickets are available now, but prices increase after March 1st. The event is rain or shine, and if history is any indication, it will sell out. If you love Lake Martin and everything that makes this area unique, the Old 280 Boogie is worth putting on your calendar! Grab your tickets HERE.

Lego Block Seawalls Explained

John Coley — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 15:00:15 +0000

Lego Block Seawalls Explained

Did you know that seawalls are a super important part of real estate on Lake Martin, Alabama? In this blog, I’m breaking down one of the coolest construction innovations I’ve seen lately — concrete block seawalls or, what I call, Lego block seawalls.

Why are seawalls so important?

Seawalls protect your land from erosion especially on Lake Martin where there is a lot of wave action. One of the most challenging aspects of creating a seawall on the lake is if you have a steeper lot.

You have to worry about the gradient change getting down to the waters. Therefore, you have to think about all of the equipment getting down to the water to create the concrete seawall.

What are concrete block seawalls?

These aren’t your typical seawalls. We’re talking about smart, interlocking pre-cast concrete blocks that are strong, durable, and surprisingly fast to build in any terrain.

Whether you’re building along a lake, river, or coastal area in Alabama, this new method is a total game changer for protecting waterfront property and reducing erosion risk.

What makes this technique so unique?

It’s like you’re playing with Legos! The blocks are made off-site and delivered ready to assemble-kind of like giant Legos. That means less waste, fewer delays, and way less labor compared to traditional poured concrete seawalls.

For buyers and builders in Alabama real estate, especially those dealing with tough terrain or unpredictable weather, this system makes building a solid, beautiful seawall way more practical.

Concrete Block Seawall Companies

SiteMix and LakeScape are pioneering this approach that could seriously level up your next property project. Whether you’re building a dream home or investing in a waterfront lot, having a smart, reliable seawall system is a major win.

To give you an idea of the process, a 960 square foot wall was built on Lake Martin by only 3 people, and I was able to get some information on how it was done by these companies.

Sitemix created the concrete blocks onsite at their plant in Alex City and then got Lakescape to install it for them. Lakescape was able to assemble all of the block together after pouring the footing when the water level was down.

For equipment, they had a Bobcat to bring down two blocks at a time and a Mini X to set them. This technique is a labor saving tool and is also more economical than a poured concrete seawall.

The concrete block seawall is also available with different patterns. On the example above, they used the alpine pattern which worked perfect for the lake vibe.

Pros of a Concrete Block Seawall

Pros include being more economical. The example used above cost $92,000, compared to other types of seawalls at $136,000. It is also more decorative compared to poured concrete walls. It is also a faster process.

Real Estate on Lake Martin

If you are looking to buy real estate on Lake Martin, then you should definitely know your seawall options. All lots are not created equal in terms of slope and ease of seawall construction.

Waves can erode you investment, so it’s important to have a good plan for a seawall. Make sure to contact Wayne at SiteMix for more information about concrete block seawalls.

I’m John Coley with Lake Martin Voice Realty, and I’ve been a realtor for 20 years on the lake. I would love to help you out if you think we would be a good fit.

Muddy Side of Lake Martin?

John Coley — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:00:56 +0000

Understanding the Muddy Side of Lake Martin Alabama

Is there a muddy side of Lake Martin? Have you ever wondered that? Have you ever seen a Google Maps image shot that made the lake look muddy and wondered if it was real? Well, in this blog, I’m going to clear this up literally and figuratively.

By the end, I hope that you’ll know why some people think the lake might be muddy, when is a potential time it could be muddy, and where on the lake that might happen. I will also give you a little bit of history too.

Why, When & Where the Water Gets Muddy

I’m a real estate agent, so everybody expects me to say, “Hey, it’s awesome everywhere.” But really, we need to dig into a little history so you can kind of see, like I said, the big picture.

First, you need to understand that Lake Martin is huge. It has 880 miles of shoreline over three counties. It was started back in 1926 when they damed up the Tallapoosa River.

The Tallapoosa River original run comes in from the north, comes through where it crosses Hwy 280, and comes around to Martin Dam. When they filled it up, like I said, that was in 1926. At the time, it was the only reservoir on the entire Tallapoosa River. Therefore, Lake Martin caught all the sediment that was coming down.

You have to think of the entire Tallapoosa River watershed, which is huge. It stretches northeast Alabama into Georgia. Well, Lake Martin was catching all that sediment for many, many years.

A big change happened in 1983 when they put in RL Harris reservoir, but we locals call it Lake Widowi. The reason Lake Widowi is critical is because it’s upstream of Lake Martin. Now it catches all the sediment that comes down from starting in Georgia all the way down through all the rivers and all the tributaries that feed the Tallapoosa. It hits Lake Widowi first and then turns back into the Tallapoosa River. Then, it starts to become Lake Martin in a place called Irwin Scholes. And so, that’s the start of Lake Martin.

Old-Timers’ Insight: Water Color Expectations

Sometimes you talk to people that have been around, especially old-timers, that say there is a muddy side of Lake Martin. I always ask them, “Well, when is your experience with the lake? Is it prior to 1983?”

I mean, hey, I was around in 1983. I can remember growing up. We had some friends that had a lake house close to the original river. And yeah, I’d say it was muddy on that side of Lake Martin. There was more sediment in the water back then, but a lot has changed since the 80s. And, the lake has gotten a lot clearer. As a matter of fact, it’s one of the clearest, most pristine lakes in the state.

Educating Buyers on Lake Martin Alabama Water Conditions

As an agent, my goal isn’t just to sell a house, a lot, or a condo. My goal is to help my buyers understand the lake in general, educate them, and help them learn about the lake. I want to help them kind of sift through their priorities so that they know when they see something they like and can move with confidence on that.

A lot of times when I do get a question about the muddy side of the lake, I try to kind of pick apart of that a little bit and see what we’re really getting at here. Because sometimes that fear may be overblown.

I got the idea for this video and blog when working for one of my buyers. She showed me a screenshot, a Google map, and said, “Hey, I don’t want to be right here. Look at all this mud right here.” I was able to kind of drill down and figure out that the satellite image we’re looking at is actually from 2016 by going on Google Earth.

Then, I figured out that I remembered that spring. It was like a February, and we had just had torrential rains. The lake was down, and it was torrential rains all over the Tallapoosa River watershed. So, you had all this water coming down through the system. And yeah, the water was staying there for a good couple of weeks, but it flushed out. It was a temporary thing.

So, my thing with buyers is I don’t want them to let a temporary condition to color their overall picture, whether on the good for their priorities or bad for their priorities. My job is to help give you a big picture of what it’s like all year round.

When Lake Martin Typically Turns Muddy

The next question you should be asking is not really where it’s muddy but is when it’s muddy. To me the biggest thing is timing of the year because we got an original river run here, but Lake Martin goes down 7 ft for the normal winter draw down. We call it Plug Day.

They put in the plug around February 28th or March 1st and the water starts rising again then. That accompanied by the spring rains and pollen combine to affect the water clarity mostly in the spring. So, I think really the question to ask is when is it less clear? And, that is definitely in the spring.

As a real estate agent, I don’t mind taking pictures in the winter because it’s clear and there’s bright skies outside. The toughest real estate pictures to take are in that stretch from about April when the water’s coming up and there’s a lot of pollen in the water. That’s when I would say it looks the less clear.

How Pollen Counts Influence Water Appearance

You can look online and find traditional pollen counts. When they hit, obviously, Lake Martin is surrounded. We’re only 30% developed here at the lake. So, we’re surrounded by trees, thankfully. We have lots of different species of trees, both hardwoods and pine trees. When they all hit their pollen, you can see it. You can see it in the water. But, if you come back by the first part of May, it’s gone.

Original River Run Areas & Slight Variations in Clarity

If you asked me if there is a muddy side of Lake Martin, then I would say, yeah, maybe. When you look at the original river course again, there’s Highway 280 riding the original river run. You know, there may be a little bit of sediment in there. But, honestly, it’s really clear there too.

I’ve always wanted to do one of those Pepsi challenges where I get water samples from all over the lake and then blind test people to see if they can tell the difference. My opinion is they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. But, I’d say, on the original river run it might be a little bit less clear. Certainly on the Kowaliga side as well, because it has a backed up reservoir. You also don’t have many, if at all, feeder creeks that are still working that feed those areas. So, that’s my opinion on the areas of the lake. But again, it’s still super clear.

Soil Type: A Major Factor in Water Color

When buyers say that they don’t want to step on a muddy bottom or whatever, I think sometimes it depends more on the type of the soil underneath the lake bed. For instance, I can think of homes that are near traditional creek inlets where some drainages come in, and you might have sediment over the years there.

Then, you also have areas like in the Kowaliga area that have some big stretches where there’s a sandstone base. It doesn’t feel like the Gulf Coast beaches, but it feels pretty beachy there. So, there’s differences in the soil where you can tell it a little bit there. But, generally, the water is so clear. It’s clear all over the lake.

Rock & Hard Clay Bottoms Around Lake Martin

My rule of thumb is in the summer when we’re looking at houses and the water’s up, if I can’t see the bottom, then the water depth is greater than 10 ft. Right around 9 or 10 feet is where you start to not be able to see the bottom. And that’s pretty dog on clear.

Just to give you an example of what I’m talking about, we’ve got the hard clay soil, and yet the water is super clear. Or, you can have a sandy bottom like in Kowaliga Bay. There’s a lot of sandstone, and you get a lot of sand kind of almost a beach like sand with a base of that hard red clay.

So again, kind of just depends on where you are. In one spot on the normal winter draw down near an original creek inlet, some of the subfloor is more muddy and kind of mushy to the foot once you get to the bottom of it. But, the water is still clear. Also, generally the bigger water you’re on the less it’s going to look muddy.

You can see why Lake Martin was the first lake in the state of Alabama to receive a treasured lake status. It’s a fact. Lake Martin is one of the most pristine and cleanest lakes in the southeast. It is beautiful here. It is clean and the water is clear. So, if you think it might be a good fit for you, I’d love to help you out here. I’d love to give you the clear info that you might need.

Lot for Sale: 889 Driftwood Point

New Lot for Sale at 889 Driftwood Point Road on Lake Martin

Here’s your chance to secure a rare vacant lot on Lake Martin and begin building the lake life you’ve been dreaming about. 889 Driftwood Point Road is a lot that is now for sale for $599,000. It sits through the Narrows in the Parker Creek/Oakachoy Creek area of Lake Martin and is the perfect spot if you’ve been looking for a location that is both private and convenient.

More on Location

Located in Coosa County on the Alexander City side, this lot is a close boat ride to many Lake Martin favorites. You can boat over to The Landing at Parker Creek or Kowaliga Restaurant for dinner, or you can gas up your boat at Smith Marina while you grab some frozen yogurt.

All of these places are just a quick boat ride away from Driftwood Point Road, so this lot is very convenient for lake life. If you love golfing, you could also join Willow Point for access to their golf course and other great amenities.

A Rare Opportunity

Vacant lots west of Kowaliga Bridge are becoming harder to find. This is because most of these properties were built on years ago. Families hold onto them. They don’t trade hands often. Therefore, finding a true vacant lot in this area, where you can design and build exactly what you want, is rare.

This one is private and woodsy, with that “old Lake Martin” feel. It has mature trees and a natural setting. With 0.96 +/- acres and 200′ +/- of waterfront, this is a spot where you can shape your own vision, whether that’s a timeless lake cottage or a more modern retreat tucked into the trees.

The Coosa County side has always felt a little more laid back. A little more elbow room. It’s where you go to slow down, float a little longer, and stay up a little later talking on the dock.

If you’ve been waiting for a buildable lot in a location that checks both the lifestyle box and the investment box, then 889 Driftwood Rd deserves your attention. Let’s go walk it and see if it feels right to you.
