The following statement made by you has been on my mind for a long time.

"Couple of issues come to mind. What are the neighboring houses like? New, old, cabins, newer lake homes? How good is the access road--a real road or a pig trail? Paved?

The lake banks on that side of the river are high red clay in many areas; do you have a high drop off? As you know, these are factors that will influence the value.

A huge new house, at the mouth of Madwind Creek, north side, that was very expensively built did not sell for a couple of years because it was nestled in among cabins on very small lots and a pig trail road. The house was out of place for the neighborhood. Owner probably lost $500K or more."

My burning question is: ON THE LAKE, DOES IT MATTER WHAT IS AROUND YOU FOR PROPERTY VALUE?

I know it does in subdivisions, etc, but I have always wondered if the lake factor - just being on the lake - made any difference. I see beautiful, big houses, with old, small homes...and just didn't know.
