Looking for lakeshore property myself. Looking for an out of the way lake to build a small cabin to spend the summers in when I semi-retire in 8 years. Planning to go south in the winter.
So I have been pricing land for a couple years and I was a little surprised to see $84,000 for 1.2 acres and it's not even lakeshore, it's just lake access. And it's not on a high-end lake either. TOOOO much. It’s easy to pay 800.00 per lakeshore foot plus in the north. I can tell you first hand what 735 feet of prime sand lakeshore costs yearly in taxes. Ugly numbers. Remember always talk to the perspective new neighbors before buying, they know what’s going on there and also who else might be thinking of selling, save fees. Osky When I tell people my brother and I have a place at Lake of the Woods they are like "you have a place on the lake", I'm like heck no, 300 feet off with lake access and no lakefront taxes. I don't need to pay for Baudette's school that is fancier than ours lol.

Just my opinion but I would never "live" on a lake. There is just not enough privacy for me, way better off to live on a hundred acres of woods within a short driving distance of many lakes than an acre or two of lakefront for the same price. I walk out my door and hunt, pee off my deck, shoot targets and or critters, and whatever else I feel like doing without someone bothering me. A small, private lake might be different I suppose. Actually, we have a small stream running through our property and with the rainfall we have got this year I may be a lakefront property owner before long.

I can do one better 9r and illustrate local govt insanity. North central and north eastern MN have literally thousands and thousands of clear water sweet bottom lakes, yet the town near here of less than 600 people tried to get a tax levy from all to build an outdoor public pool. Go figure.

[quote=Zim]Yep, I could do that Osky! Back in a different life a couple friends and I bought 4 acres of land with 700 feet of shore frontage on a 300 acre lake in Vilas County, WI. No public landing so we built our own, I guess you would have a problem doing that now days. LOL Great musky and smallmouth lake. Many days I wish we still had that property, bought on a land contract for 20K in 1982, sold for 300K in 2003. Many of the locals there laughed at us for spending 20K at the time. I was young and scared then and took on a little part time work to make my 80 dollar a month payment. Zim[/quote American dream Zim

My nephew bought a large lot here on the Mississippi River he is allowed to put in a landing 20' wide, nothing more. Now that I think of it I think I would only be allowed 20' if I needed one. No permanent or hanging docks allowed anymore either in MN. Can't even have a screened in area on the end of your dock anymore. Osky

Osky Don't give trapper les any ideas, he'll push to build a county pool in Williams, we'll have to pay for that too. We get assessed a 100 dollar solid waste fee for our lot, couple years ago we bought out the neighbors lot, it's empty mind you. YUP you guessed 100 bucks on that one too. I'm working on fixing em, my lawyers going to get them conjoined,

I wish I had $1.1 million. There is 290 acres by Blue Rapids, Kansas for sale. The owner has managed it for deer for the past 25 years, and it's produced monster bucks year in and year out. Cheap land for what I am used to.
wanna be goat farmer.

Could call it a Les Pool or some such thing. Zim

I like that idea Zim. Les will probably do it one better and make it an indoor pool. Why he himself has just the building for it in town. Dances and shindigs upstairs, the Les pool down underneath.

Brilliant!!! I can see this as becoming the Wisconsin Dells of Northern Minnesota! Zim
But of course! Leave it to Les he's usually three steps, six inches, and just a smidge ahead of the rest of us. Osky ( he must have gone to bed early tonight )
