Buyer's Checklist

What to look for in a lakefront property.

Beyond the view. The details experienced lakefront buyers check first.

Shoreline type

Sandy beach, rocky, grassy, or wooded. Each has different maintenance and usability.

Dock permits & type

Some lakes restrict dock size or type. Know what's allowed before you buy.

Lakefront footage

More footage means more privacy and flexibility for docks, lifts, and beach areas.

Water depth at dock

Critical for boating. Shallow water limits what boats you can use.

Lake access type

Private, shared, or public? This affects property value and your day-to-day experience.

Seawall condition

Seawall replacement is expensive. Check the type and condition before closing.

Boat lift & storage

Electric or hydraulic lifts add value. Check if one exists or if there's room to add one.

Water conditions

Calm, moderate, or choppy water affects usability for swimming, kayaking, and dock wear.
