Kennebec is a gated LakeTown development on the south side of Lake Martin, located near Chimney Rock and the central lake area. Developed through a collaboration between Alabama Power, Daniel Communities, and Nequette Architecture and Design, the community consists of 41 wooded waterfront lots, each averaging more than an acre with approximately 400 feet of water frontage. Lot sales began in 2018.
The development sits adjacent to a 74-acre Alabama Power nature preserve that will remain undeveloped, which extends the sense of privacy and seclusion beyond the 60-acre development itself. Design guidelines shape the architecture across the community — favoring natural materials, low-pitched rooflines, large expanses of glass, and lakeside porches and balconies — though no single style is mandated. There are no formal neighborhood amenities; the lake and the land are considered the amenities.

Development Context
Kennebec attracts buyers drawn to the combination of wooded privacy, deep-water exposure, and architecturally guided construction. The adjacent nature preserve and the absence of formal amenities give it a different character than more resort-oriented developments on the lake — the appeal here is the land itself.
