Before Building Your Lakefront Home
If your sights are set on a lake house, Southernwood is here to help. There are several unique characteristics of lakefront property to consider before building.
Preparation
Lakefronts are full of nature, including trees and rocks. They may require more work to clear and level the land before construction.
Views
The greatest benefit of living on a lake is the beautiful views. Your home should be positioned to maximize these views from your windows and porches.
Laws
Local regulations can impact construction, including how close you can build to the waterline. An experienced builder can help navigate these laws.
Cost
The benefit of a lakefront home comes with added costs. That could be because of permits, plumbing, flood insurance, or something else—just prepare for the unexpected.
