MINNESOTA LAKEFRONT PROPERTY

What to keep in mind when buying lakefront property.

There are some general guidelines to consider when buying Minnesota lakeshore property. Here are the top ten things to look for:

Location: The location of the property is crucial. Look for a property that is close to amenities, such as grocery stores, gas stations, and medical facilities. Also, consider the distance from your primary residence and accessibility of the property.

Water Quality: Check the quality of the water, and whether the lake is prone to algae blooms. Make sure the lake is clean, with clear water that is suitable for swimming, fishing, and boating.

Shoreline: Consider the quality of the shoreline. Look for a gradual slope that makes it easier to access the water. A natural shoreline with rocks and vegetation can provide a more aesthetically pleasing view.

Property Size: Consider the size of the property. A larger property will provide more privacy and more room for outdoor activities.

Zoning and Regulations: Check zoning and regulations to ensure that the property can be used for your intended purpose. Some zoning and regulations might prohibit certain activities such as building, adding on to an existing structure, or clearing vegetation from the shoreline.

Orientation: Consider the orientation of the property. A property that faces east or west will provide more sunlight, while a north-facing property may have a cooler temperature.

Wildlife: Look for a property that is close to wildlife, as it will provide a more natural experience and a chance to observe and appreciate the local fauna.

Flood Risk: Check for flood risk, especially if the property is located near a river or stream. Also, look for any history of flood damage.

Water Access: Check the access to water. A property with a boat launch, dock or sandy beach can make it easier to access the water.

Cost: The cost of the property is another important consideration. Look for a property that is within your budget and provides good value for the price.

Keep in mind that every property is unique, so it's important to consider your individual preferences and requirements when making a decision.
