284 Harbor View Blvd is Pending!

284 Harbor View Blvd in Dadeville is now pending. This Lake Martin water access home is located in The Village Farms. It combines a wooded setting with access to Lake Martin and The Village amenities. The home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 1,280 +/- sq ft, and sits on 3 +/- acres.

See details about this listing in my blog, “Lake Access on Lake Martin: 284 Harbor View Blvd.”

Lake Martin Water Access

One of the important things about 284 Harbor View Blvd is the water access. The home has access to community docks and a boat ramp, making it easy to get out on Lake Martin. That is a nice combination with the space and privacy provided by the wooded lot.

The location by water is another part of the story. From the community docks and boat ramp, Chimney Rock is a short ride, Chuck’s Marina is an easy cruise for dinner and live music, and The Ridge Marina is also nearby. Big water is close, along with quiet coves for spending an afternoon floating.

284 Harbor View Blvd Features

The lot is one of the things that stands out to me about this property. The home sits on 3 +/- acres, providing space and privacy while still being part of The Village Farms community. That gives this property a different feel from many other water access options around Lake Martin.

There are also several practical features that are worth mentioning. The home has a Generac 24kW whole house generator with WiFi access, plus a 30 amp outlet in the carport that can be used for an electric vehicle, golf cart, or RV. The carport also has a storage room with power and attic access for additional storage.

The Village Amenities

The Village Farms also comes with access to The Village amenities. Those include lake access, common docks, a boat ramp, two community pools, a fitness center, playground, chapel, grilling area, trash facility, and boat and trailer storage. Having those amenities nearby adds another dimension to owning a home in this community.

The lakeside pool is another option for enjoying the water without getting the boat out. The common docks and boat ramp make getting onto Lake Martin straightforward when it is time for a boat ride. It is a setup that combines a neighborhood environment with practical access to the lake.

Convenient by Land

The location works well by land, too. Golf is only minutes away, and Oskar’s, Niffer’s, and Lake Martin Pizza are a short drive away in the Dadeville area. Auburn is roughly 30 to 40 minutes from the property.

Birmingham and Montgomery are also within driving distance for weekend trips to Lake Martin. That land location, combined with the proximity to popular destinations by water, helps explain where this property fits into the Lake Martin lifestyle. It offers options for getting around both on and off the lake.

Looking for Something Similar at Lake Martin?

Now that 284 Harbor View Blvd is pending, it is a good example of another way to own property at Lake Martin. It combines 3 +/- acres, a wooded setting, water access, and the amenities of The Village Farms rather than being a traditional waterfront property. Lake Martin has a lot of different ownership options, and understanding those differences is important when looking for the right property.

If a Lake Martin property with water access, acreage, privacy, and community amenities is on the wish list, I am always glad to help. I spend a lot of time helping people understand the different neighborhoods and areas around the lake and how they compare. Check out my Neighborhoods page for more information on those.

Give me a call, text, or email anytime, even if the timeline for buying is still a ways down the road. You can also reach me through my CONTACT PAGE. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Where to Watch Football Around Lake Martin

There’s nothing quite like football season at Lake Martin. You’ve got Auburn and Alabama playing on Saturdays, the weather is finally starting to cool off, and there are still plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy the lake. But if you’re not watching the game at your own lake house, where should you go to watch football around Lake Martin?

I’ve put together a few places around the lake where you can grab something to eat, watch some football, and maybe even enjoy a view of the water. Some are right on the lake, while others are familiar local restaurants. And I saved one of my favorite options for last.

Lake Martin Beach Club: Football With a Lake View

If you’re looking for a place to watch football and still enjoy being on Lake Martin, check out Lake Martin Beach Club. They’ve got the games playing on 100 inch TVs, plus a waterfront view that’s pretty hard to beat. That’s a nice combination if you ask me.

I think it’s pretty neat that you can sit by the water and watch football at the same time. You don’t have to choose between spending the afternoon at the lake and keeping up with the game. At Lake Martin Beach Club, you can do a little of both.

Read more about this new restaurant in my blog “Lake Martin Beach Club.”

Bluff’s Daiquiri Bar at Harbor Pointe Marina

Maybe you’re already out on the boat and don’t feel like heading back to the house just because the game is starting. Bluff’s Daiquiri Bar at Harbor Pointe Marina is another place to consider. It’s right on the water, so you can work a little football into your lake day.

That’s one of the things I like about having restaurants and bars around Lake Martin that you can reach by boat. You can spend part of the day cruising around and then stop somewhere to catch the game. No need to make the whole day revolve around football unless you want to.

Niffer’s Place: For the Football Fans and Everybody Else

You know how it goes when you’re trying to get a group together to watch football. Half the people want to watch every single play, and the other half just wants to go somewhere fun to eat. That’s where Niffer’s Place comes in.

Niffer’s has been a familiar name around Lake Martin for a long time. It’s a good option when you want to get everybody together for some food and football. And if your team isn’t doing so well, at least you’ve still got dinner.

Lake Martin Pizza: You Might Even Win Some Money

Here’s one that adds a little something extra to game day. Lake Martin Pizza has been offering Game Day Squares, so you can eat some pizza, watch football, and have a chance to win a prize at both the Alexander City and Dadeville locations. That’s not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

According to their promotion, squares are $5 each, and you can join until the opening kickoff. There’s a $20 Lake Martin Pizza gift card for the halftime winner, and the end of game winner gets the pot. You’ve got to be there to win, and if nobody wins, the pot rolls over to the next week.

I’d check with Lake Martin Pizza to make sure they’re still running the promotion before heading over. Even without the squares, pizza and football go together pretty well. Add a group of friends, and you’ve got a good excuse to get out of the house.

My Bonus Pick: Your Own Lake House

Now, after mentioning all these restaurants, I’ve got one more suggestion. Your own lake house might still be the best sports bar around Lake Martin. Think about it: TV on the porch, something cooking on the grill, and the boat tied up at the dock.

You can have friends over, watch the game, and nobody has to fight traffic after the fourth quarter. If the game gets out of hand, you can always go down to the dock or take a boat ride.

Football Season Is Another Good Reason to Enjoy Lake Martin

I talk a lot about boating, fishing, and all the things people enjoy doing around Lake Martin during the summer. But fall is a great time to be here, too. The lake is still here, the restaurants are still here, and now you’ve got football to add to the mix.

So if you’re looking for somewhere to watch Auburn, Alabama, or another team this weekend, give one of these places a try. Be sure to check their hours and football schedules before you go, since those can change throughout the season. And if I’ve left off your favorite place to watch football around Lake Martin, let me know because I’d like to hear about it.

And if you’ve been thinking about buying a lake house where you can host your own football Saturdays, I’d be glad to help you find the right spot. I spend a lot of time helping people understand the different areas of Lake Martin and what makes each one unique. If you’re ready to buy or sell, or just have questions about Lake Martin real estate, feel free to call me at (334)221-5862 or use my CONTACT PAGE.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Halloween at Lake Martin Beach Club

Looking for something to do at Lake Martin this Halloween? Lake Martin Beach Club is hosting a Halloween Bash on Saturday, October 31, 2026, with live music, dinner, and a costume contest featuring $3,000 in cash prizes. That’s a pretty good reason to start thinking about your Halloween costume.

Read more about the new restaurant and my first impression in my blog “Lake Martin Beach Club.”

$3,000 in Halloween Costume Prizes

Lake Martin Beach Club is putting up some serious prize money for their Halloween Bash. They’re giving away $1,000 each for the best male costume, best female costume, as well as best couple costume. With that much money on the line, I imagine we’ll see some pretty creative costumes.

The doors open at 6:30 PM, but don’t wait too late if you want to enter the contest. Costume registration must be completed by 8:15 PM. They’ll announce the winners at 11:00 PM.

Blackberry Breeze Playing Live & Ticket Information

Blackberry Breeze will play live music for the Halloween Bash. They’ll take the stage at 8:30 PM and play until midnight, so there will be plenty of time to enjoy the music after the costume contest.

Tickets are $75 per person and include a dinner buffet as well as an event T-shirt. VIP tables are also available for anyone interested in reserving one.

Fall Events at Lake Martin

One thing I like about events like this is that they give people another reason to enjoy Lake Martin outside of summer. Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which makes it a convenient night to get a group of friends together. And with $3,000 in costume prizes, this particular party has a little something extra going on.

If you’re planning to be at Lake Martin for Halloween, check out the details and see if Lake Martin Beach Club’s Halloween Bash sounds like your kind of event. You can follow Lake Martin Beach Club on Facebook for more information and updates. Just remember that costume contest registration closes at 8:15 PM, so plan accordingly.

2255 Sturdivant Road Sold on Lake Martin

2255 Sturdivant Road on Lake Martin is sold. This nearly new home in Miner’s Cove has a flat lot, covered dock, and a location just a few minutes from the everyday conveniences of Alexander City. Those are features that can be hard to find together in one Lake Martin property.

A Flat Lot on Lake Martin

If you’ve been searching around Lake Martin for a lake house, you already know the problem. You find the perfect house, walk in, look toward the water, and realize you’ve got 75 steps all the way down to the lake. That’s not the case at 2255 Sturdivant Road.

The lot here is flat, so you don’t have a million steps between the house and the water. There’s also a covered dock ready for time on the lake. That makes getting from the house to the waterfront pretty simple.

Outdoor Living by the Water

Another feature I really like is the outdoor seating area. It has a fireplace and a place where you can grill, hang out, and watch the water. It’s a great setup for spending time outside at Lake Martin.

A Floor Plan That Works Well

The home also has a great floor plan. The guest rooms are on one side of the house, while the primary suite is on the other side and looks toward the water. There are additional bedrooms upstairs, giving you more room for family and guests.

It’s an awesome floor plan that’s no muss, no fuss, but it’s done well. The home is nearly new and mostly furnished. That combination keeps things pretty simple.

Close to Alexander City

There’s another thing I really like about this location. You’re at Lake Martin, but you’re not out in the middle of nowhere. Alexander City is right nearby for the normal everyday stuff.

If you need groceries, you can run to the new Publix. You’ve also got Starbucks, Chick fil A, restaurants, shopping, and other conveniences nearby. Being this close to Alexander City makes things easy when you need to make a quick trip into town.

A Convenient Location by Water

The location works really well from the water too. You can hop in the boat and have places like River North Marina, Boondocks at Bay Pine, and Peanut Point really close by. That gives you several familiar Lake Martin spots within easy reach by boat.

2255 Sturdivant Road Sold

What stands out to me about 2255 Sturdivant Road is just how easy everything is. You’ve got a flat lot, you don’t have a million steps to the water, and you’ve got the covered dock. The home is nearly new, mostly furnished, and you’re close to Alexander City.

2255 Sturdivant Road is sold, but it’s good example of the combination of house, waterfront, and location you can find around Lake Martin.

If these items are high on your Lake Martin wish list, give me a call and I’d be glad to help you look for similar properties. You can also reach me by email or my CONTACT PAGE.

507 Villas on the Harbor Closing!

Congratulations to my seller clients on the successful closing of 507 Villas on the Harbor. This Lake Martin condo offered a great combination of waterfront living and the convenience of being inside StillWaters. I appreciate my clients trusting me to help them through the process and get this one to the closing table.

Easy Lake Martin Living in StillWaters

I’ve said before that I think StillWaters might be the most golf cart friendly neighborhood around Lake Martin. You can leave the car parked and use a golf cart to get to restaurants, the marina, golf, and even the grocery store. That’s a pretty easy way to spend a weekend at Lake Martin.

507 Villas on the Harbor fit that lifestyle really well. The condo had three bedrooms, a boat slip, a deeded PWC slip, four parking spots, and a garage for a golf cart. It gave you a good home base for enjoying both the water and everything inside StillWaters.

Check out how easy StillWaters lake living is in my blog “StillWaters by Golf Cart.”

Harbor Pointe Marina Inside the Gates

One of the big conveniences of StillWaters is Harbor Pointe Marina. It’s located inside the gates, and you can store your boat there, get gas, and visit the ship store. Having a marina right inside the neighborhood makes lake life a lot easier.

The Landing at Harbor Pointe is also right there at the marina. It’s a popular place to eat, and they even have golf cart parking. You can head out for a meal without ever needing to get in your car.

Restaurants and Groceries by Golf Cart

StillWaters also has Prime Steakhouse, giving you another place to eat without leaving the neighborhood. Lake Martin Grocery is connected to StillWaters by a golf cart path, so you don’t even have to get out on the highway. You can hop in the golf cart, pick up your groceries, and head right back home.

I’ve actually spent several days in StillWaters doing exactly that. I got around by golf cart and didn’t need to start my car. It showed me just how practical the golf cart lifestyle in StillWaters really is.

Golf and More Inside StillWaters

Of course, StillWaters also has its golf course. For golfers, that’s another big part of being able to spend your time close to home. StillWaters has other amenities as well, which adds to the convenience of living inside the gates.

There’s even Church of the Living Waters inside StillWaters. It’s located right on the water and gives you another reason you might not need to leave the neighborhood on a Sunday morning. That’s what I mean when I talk about how easy StillWaters living can be.

Check out my neighborhood page for StillWaters to learn more.

Congratulations to My Seller Clients

507 Villas on the Harbor was a good example of what makes this part of Lake Martin appealing. You had the condo, boat slip, PWC slip, golf cart garage, and all the conveniences of StillWaters around you. Congratulations again to my seller clients on a successful closing.

Another StillWaters Condo Is Available

If you like the idea of StillWaters living, I have another opportunity nearby. My new listing at Harbor Pointe Condo E103 is also inside StillWaters. It’s another option for someone who wants to enjoy this part of Lake Martin.

Read more about it in my blog “Harbor Pointe Condo E103.”

If StillWaters sounds like a good fit for the way you want to enjoy Lake Martin, please give me a call or use my CONTACT PAGE to reach me. I’d be glad to help you take a closer look at this condo or other properties around the lake. My goal is to help you find the Lake Martin property that works for the way you actually want to use it.

What to Expect at Alexander City’s Oktoberfest

Alexander City Parks and Recreation organizes Oktoberfest, bringing together local vendors, food, and entertainment for the community.

It’s a chance to spend some time outside and see what’s happening around Alexander City.

There’s plenty planned for the kids, too. The event includes a petting zoo, inflatables, as well as arts and crafts. That makes Oktoberfest a good option for families looking for something to do around Lake Martin.

Don’t Miss the Custom Car Show

The custom car show is another part of Alexander City’s Oktoberfest. Along with the vendors and other activities, visitors will have an opportunity to check out a collection of custom cars. If you enjoy looking at cars, this might be one of the first stops you’ll want to make.

Community events like Oktoberfest give people another reason to get out and enjoy the area after the busiest part of the lake season has passed. And after 46 years, Oktoberfest has certainly become a familiar part of Alexander City’s fall calendar.

390 Hickory Drive on Lake Martin is Pending

390 Hickory Drive is now pending on Lake Martin! I’m excited for my sellers as we move on to the next step. We listed this Lake Martin waterfront home at $1,199,000. It didn’t take long for a buyer to see what made this place special. Of course, I think a lot of that starts with the water.

Read more about 390 Hickory Drive by CLICKING HERE.

Big Water Makes a Difference

When I first walked around 390 Hickory Drive, I kept coming back to the big water right in front of the house. This isn’t just a good view of Lake Martin. There’s also room to ski, tube, ride the Sea-Doo, do all the lake things. You can do all of that without loading everybody into the boat and going somewhere else.

That might sound like a small distinction until you’ve owned a lake house for a while. Eventually, you realize that making things easy usually means you use them more, whether that’s jumping off the dock for a quick swim or taking one more ski run before dinner. At 390 Hickory Drive, the lake is right there waiting on you.

A Place to Watch the Kids Grow Up

That’s why the thought I kept having while marketing this house was, “You could watch your kids grow up here.” First they’re catching little fish off the dock or trying to stand up on a paddleboard, and a few summers later they’re learning how to ski. Then somehow they’re big enough to crank up the Sea-Doo by themselves, and you wonder when exactly that happened.

The neat part about this house is that a lot of those moments can happen while you’re sitting right there on the porch. You don’t necessarily know which lake days your kids are going to remember twenty years from now, and usually they aren’t the ones you tried to plan. More often, they’re just ordinary afternoons that didn’t seem as important at the time.

The New Dock Helped Complete the Waterfront

The big new dock was another part of 390 Hickory Drive that stood out to me. It gives you room for boats, Sea-Doos, and swimming.

I also think docks are something people can underestimate when they’re thinking about the value of Lake Martin real estate. Kitchens and bathrooms matter, but a really good dock and waterfront setup can change the way you use a lake house every single day.

A Lake House That Works for a Crowd

The two-story layout at 390 Hickory Drive also makes sense for weekends when everybody shows up. The upstairs street level has the kitchen and main living spaces with those big water views. The downstairs is the lake level, putting you closer to the dock and waterfront. That gives people room to spread out without feeling disconnected from everything happening at the lake.

390 Hickory Drive Is Pending

I’m happy for my sellers, and I’m also excited about the next family getting the chance to enjoy this piece of Lake Martin.

Hopefully there are a lot of fish caught, skis learned, Maui Mat battles fought, and long afternoons spent on that dock in the years ahead. That’s a pretty good future for a lake house.

If you’re interested in selling or buying real estate on Lake Martin, then please give me a call. I’m John Coley with Lake Martin Voice Realty, and I would love to help you out. You can also reach me through email or my CONTACT PAGE.

Harbor Pointe Condos Lake Martin Alabama | What Buyers Need To Know Before Investing Here

In this blog, I will be talking about Harbor Pointe Condos on Lake Martin, which are located inside the greater neighborhood of StillWaters on the southeast side of the lake. 

CLICK HERE for more information on the StillWaters neighborhood.

Amenities in StillWaters

There are tons of StillWaters amenities. Obviously, you got the golf course. It’s a semi-private golf course. There’s also lots of restaurants like Prime Steakhouse. You also have The Landing at Harbor Pointe that is waterfront. Bluffs Daiquiri Bar is also waterfront and is a fun place to visit. 

Harbor Pointe Marina is inside StillWaters, and you have access to the other the neighborhood community amenities as well. These include the pickle ball court and the neighborhood pool. 

As far as where you are on the water, all the StillWaters things apply. This means you’re about 35 minutes away from the stadium at Auburn. On the east side, you’re close to Georgia. By water, you’re also close not only to the things inside StillWaters but like Chuck’s Marina and Chimney Rock. 

Harbor Point is made up of five separate buildings and everybody calls them by the letters that they are. The A building is the one that looks right over the marina. The B building looks south and right over the beach. The C building looks almost directly west and has beautiful sunsets. Then, D and E are on up the slough. They have varying degrees of that western view inside that slough.

Prices for Harbor Pointe Condos

What do prices look like in general at Harbor Pointe? Well, some two-bedroom units have sold recently. Three of them sold and were between about $600,000 and about $620,000. Also, 12 three-bedroom units sold here in the last 24 months. Those sold from about $560,000 on the low side to about $880,000 on the high side. 

Another thing I sometimes get questions about is do prices vary as the floors go? For example, the higher up you get does it get more expensive? And, I think that answer is probably one where at Harbor Pointe there’s only 100 units total. So, you have a really small sample pool. 

I did look in the last 24 month stretch, and one of the units, unit 304, sold both in a B building that looks over the beach and also in the E building which is the farthest back up in the slough. Now, the B building that looks over the beach was a two-bedroom unit sold for $600K. The three bedroom, the one in the E building, sold for $700K. 

So, clearly the number of bedrooms trumps the view in between those two buildings. Also, the B building that had two bedrooms did not have a boat slip. So, again, boat slips are a huge factor when you’re looking at Harbor Pointe and anywhere else. 

What affects prices in Harbor Pointe? 

That’s a really good question. Number one, I’d say it’s like everything on Lake Martin. View, privacy, and location. The view is a big factor in lake Harbor Pointe condos like anywhere. 

Therefore, I’d say that the D and the E buildings, do tend to sell for a little less than the A, B, and C buildings because they are further back in the slough. The last two years about 15 have sold. That’s about average, I’d say, at Harbor Pointe. About seven of these condos sell per year depending on all of the various buildings. 

Now, if you own a a spot in Harbor Pointe, and you’re wondering what these generalities mean to you and about the market in general, then I’d love to help you out. I could give you a valuation for your condo for no charge and no strings attached. It is nice to know how the economy and how the overall market might have affected your’s. 

Harbor Pointe Amenities 

You also have amenities for Harbor Pointe that are just specific to it. Like l’ve said, the amenities are really nice. They have this big huge beach that looks south over Blue Creek that a lot of people like to hang out on. 

They also have a pool that they keep really nice and well done. If you’re driving in your boat into the marina, then you’ll see the pool and the beach there on your left as you drive in. 

Also, as far as the Harbor Pointe amenities go, there’s a grilling pavilion that’s really nice. Once again, they keep everything high and tight here at Harbor Pointe. 

One thing to note at Harbor Pointe, the boat slips are assigned. So, they’re not public boat slips, and not every Harbor Pointe unit has a deeded boat slip that comes with it. So, that’s one thing you really need to check when you’re looking at these condos. 

Speaking of boat slips, what I looked up in the last two years, about 15 Harbor Pointe units have been sold. Of those 15, four did not have boat slips. 11 did. So, you know, easily 2/3 of them have boat slips in that 2-year period. 

You’re also right next to the marina in case you didn’t want to have a slip, but you just wanted to keep your boat here at the Harbor Pointe Marina. 

Harbor Pointe Condos Page

I have a page on my website that lists all the Harbor Pointe condos that are currently for sale. It’s updated just minute by minute and a bunch of times during the day. CLICK HERE to view that condo page.

Also, I have a page on my website under Neighborhoods for StillWaters where you can look and see everything that’s for sale in StillWaters such as homes, lots, condos, off-water homes, everything. 

I have a great condo listing right now at Harbor Pointe E103. Make sure to check out the details on my listing page and my blog post “Harbor Pointe Condo E103.”

What Condo Buyer Would Like Harbor Pointe?

What I normally tell my condo buyers is if your priorities are that you want really nice amenities and would like to be inside the StillWaters neighborhood, then Harbor Pointe might be a good option for you. 

If it were me and I had a Harbor Pointe condo, what I’d probably do is I would go all in on the StillWaters and Harbor Pointe lifestyle. Meaning I would definitely want to have a slip, personally, but I’d also keep my boat at Harbor Pointe Marina. That way they could splash it for me when I’m coming down and getting ready.

I also would think about having a golf cart. I’m not personally a golfer, but I have a lot of friends that are. So, I think if you’re inside StillWaters and you have a golf cart, then that’d be cool. You’d be able to ride up to play golf, number one. Then number two, you’d be able to go to all the restaurants and drive on your golf cart. 

A huge thing about Harbor Pointe that’s different than a lot of them is they don’t allow short-term rentals. So, that may or may not be a good thing for you. If you do want to be able to short-term rent your condo, then Harbor Pointe’s not the place for you because they have covenants against that.

3509 Bay Pine Road: Welcoming New Buyers to Lake Martin

One of my favorite parts of selling Lake Martin real estate is getting a front row seat to the beginning of someone’s next chapter. That was certainly the case with the buyers of 3509 Bay Pine Road. I had the privilege of representing them as they made their move into the Lake Martin area.

More Than a Lake Martin Home

For these buyers, this purchase is about more than a new home. It is a new adventure and the beginning of something they have been working toward. Those are the kinds of closings that are especially fun for me.

Buying at Lake Martin can mean a lot of different things to different people. Some people come for weekends and summers, while others end up spending more and more of their time here. Either way, owning a place here gives you a chance to become part of the Lake Martin community.

Helping Buyers Find Their Place at Lake Martin

Buying at Lake Martin can be a little different from a typical home search. You are not only comparing houses, you are trying to figure out which part of the lake or surrounding area fits what you want to do here. That is where knowing the roads, neighborhoods, water, and local market can really matter.

Sometimes my job is helping buyers find a property, and sometimes it is helping them understand Lake Martin well enough to make a good decision. There is a lot about this place that you simply cannot pick up by looking at listings online.

One way I try to help is through my Lake Martin Voice Youtube channel. On my channel, I make videos about Lake Martin, the different areas on the lake, restaurants, places to go, and so much more. If you find the channel helpful to you, please make sure to subscribe. That way you can stay informed about all things Lake Martin.

Also, another way I try to help is through my Neighborhoods Page. This page has all the neighborhoods around the lake listed with detailed information about them and listings available there. These pages are always being updated with the most recent information.

Welcome to Lake Martin

I am glad I got to play a small part in helping my buyer clients find their place here. I am excited to see where this next chapter takes them.

If you are thinking about buying at Lake Martin, feel free to give me a call. You do not have to have everything figured out before we talk, and you do not have to be ready to buy tomorrow. I am always happy to help you understand the area and figure out what makes sense for you. Reach out to me through my phone number on the top of this page or use my CONTACT PAGE.

Best Coffee Around Lake Martin Alabama

Are you like me and love coffee? I thought I’d write a blog to tell you about some of the best local spots to get your coffee fix around Lake Martin. 

I know when you’re new to an area, finding that perfect spot for your morning brew can make all the difference. That’s why I wanted to share a few of my favorites and give you the inside scoop on where locals love to go.

Bru63 Coffee in Catherine’s at Russell Crossroads

First up, we have Bru63. It’s located in Catherine’s Market at Russell Crossroads, and they have converted the entire backside of Catherine’s to their coffee shop. This is a great spot to stop for coffee. I love to get hot coffee there, but I also like to go and get their ground coffee. 

Kowaliga General Store

Another place to grab a coffee or a latte is the Kowaliga General Store. This coffee shop is located downtown Kowaliga which is on Highway 63. It’s located in between the Dollar General and the Lake Martin Mini Mall in Eclectic, AL.

Their menu includes lattes, mochas, cappuccinos, and many more. Not only do they have great coffee, they also have great pies and sandwiches as well.

Nirvana Latte Coffee

Nirvana Latte has been here a long time and just expanded. They’ve doubled their size. They serve ice cream, lunch, awesome coffee and a great breakfast.

Make sure to check out their menu on their website linked above. They have so many great options to choose from. They also offer takeout through their website.

The Grand Bakery in Downtown Dadeville

The Grand Bakery is another great place to stop for coffee. It’s in downtown Dadeville next to Camellia Cafe. They sell cake pops, oatmeal cream pies, and so much more. It’s pretty awesome, so definitely make sure to check them out if you are in the area.

Two Ghosts Coffee in Downtown Dadeville

Another spot around Lake Martin to get coffee is Two Ghosts Coffee. It’s located in downtown Dadeville on the back side of the courthouse. They have great coffee as well as breakfast and lunch food. 

Restoration 49 Coffee in Tallassee

Lake Martin fans might not know about this next coffee shop. Restoration 49 in Tallasee, AL, is a must stop if you are in the Lake Martin area. It’s south of the lake and about 15 minutes from the Eclectic side.

Located in downtown Tallassee, it is a treasure and really cool spot to stop. They have really good coffee and nice people. 

Starbucks in Alexander City Near Lake Martin

Another place is the brand new Starbucks located on the intersection of Hwy 280 and Hwy 63 on the north side of Lake Martin. This Starbucks is in Alexander City and is a great new addition to this side of the lake.

Lake Martin Voice App

I put this list together not just because I love coffee, but because I want to be the most helpful real estate agent in the area. My goal is to give you more than just real estate advice. I want to share what life is really like on Lake Martin.
