Hey, thanks for the interesting responses!
@ tallulah - agreed, they are targeted for vacation homes. Utilities: all are separately metered, and the septic is in a private septic community system (a la the ridge) so there are no shared utilities. Lot lines - that dice was cast 3 years ago, the other developer put in all of the infrastructure. Unless they wanted to dig up all of that, they had to pretty much stick with what is there. Otherwise you would end up with like 4 big lots and the price tag would be huge on each.
@lakngulf- the neighborhood private septic system is across the street. We feel like all homes will require care, obviously, but without a yard to cut, and the neighborhood fees paying for any landscape maintenance, we feel like work time will be minimal, fun time maximum! Pier - the homes on the first phase are planned to have a deeded slip in 1 of 2 floating docks. So your walk will be minimal. We looked at it six ways from Sunday, and while in a perfect world the best option is to have 1 pier per home, given the lot lines we felt like it would "junk up" the view from the homes, the view from the water, and upkeep on the owners would be outrageous given the big water, waves, and traffic. Rules - like any neighborhood, only those who buy in it have to abide by the rules. In this case the rules will be pretty normal covenants and restrictions. Again, the goal here is to keep it as cabin like as possible, old school lake martin if you will - to the extent that we can given what was there before.
@samdog- we hope you have to hike only as long as you want! See the comment above, a deeded boatslip would only be a few steps away. Going down the hill to the current dock is temporary only. Inside the home, you do have stairs to take you down. Also, each home is designed with an elevator shaft in case a buyer would opt to have one put in. Elevators are actually pretty cost effective and widespread on the lake. At our family cabin, we have what I consider to be a gentle slope and we have 3 times the steps to get to our dock. I admit, on Lake Martin there is (generally speaking) a trade off - you have to take a steep lot to get a big view. We have a big view, and (let me be frank) would love to have a flat lot at Water's Edge but hopefully the site improvements, home designs, and price will mitigate the walk enough to make it make sense for some folks. Beyond that, if it takes me throwing in my golf cart to make a sale, well...... :)
Thanks to everyone for your comments!! This is great stuff. It is a huge help to be able to gauge the community reaction, and fitting in to the area and being a good neighbor we think will be a key to success here. So I welcome your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks folks!
