Lake Martin Magazine

The Old South meets Lake Martin in this three-story home in Equality. The Southern sensibility is felt most on the front porch – a spacious, two-story area supported by white columns. Porch swings complete the Southern picture and offer a place to relax and look out on the 440 feet of shoreline overlooking the Little Kowaliga area.

Real Island residents, of course, believe their community on the eastern edge of Equality is far and away the best Lake Martin has to offer. They’re not shy about proclaiming that belief, either.

Bill and Joan Mitchell did not have to look far for inspiration for their new lake home when they decided to rebuild in 2007. For almost 30 years, they spent summers in a cabin on Spooky Hollow Road in Equality.
