Hopefully this is the right forum for this question.
Im looking to buy a second home/vacation home. Birmingham area resident so I would like for it to be on the alexander city side of things as opposed to farther east.
My budget is going to be up to 700k or so. Maybe a touch more.
In looking at things, i really liked a lot of the smaller new construction homes in the russelllands(sp?) neighborhoods, but those were starting at around 900k. The lots I liked were affordable(275-325kish for what would be acceptable), but the build cost for the approved builders were pretty high(over 275 per sq ft for build only). I guess they underprice the lots and overprice the builds...doesnt really matter since it's a package deal I guess. Dont want to spend 900k+.
Is there an area or type I should be looking at on lake martin, or do I just need to forget it and consider Logan Martin instead?
What I'd like:
-fairly new construction, or at least something that looks nice and modern inside(if not I would need to remodel it and that would have to be in the budget)
-decent curb appeal
-not very big. I don't want 3000k sq ft. 1800-2200 would actually be ideal.
-has to have decent amount of waterfront where I don't feel like the other houses are right on top of me. Preferrably at least 140-150+ ft or so.
-don't want a canal or small cove view. It doesn't have to be a water for miles/point view(I know thats not going to be possible), but want at least something of a big water/deep water feel. I guess thats what everyone wants
-would prefer nice dock already in place(if not would have to be in budget for this)
thanks...
