“Low taxes, low cost of living, friendly people, did I mention low taxes?”
ok, let’s compare ;)
Our house is 1700 sq ft + a finished basement that’s the same + 18 acres, taxes are $1100/year. They went up $100 when we added an addition and a 1600 sq ft shop. I guess with the addition, it’s 1900.
No lake though! I did see some beautiful properties a few years back on your lake going for foreclosure prices. It was mighty tempting. But we wanted acreage, away from people.
We bought two side by side properties, totally a bit over 9 acres.
This is still possible at this lake.
Going north, bigger pieces of land are available for home building. MM 50 and above on the main channel are wide expanses of undisturbed property.
The next door Ozark cabin was our next purchase and we’ve turned this into a rental. $1,000/week. 4-5 people max. Adults only.
Couples wanting to go fishing have the perfect spot with our dock and boat lift...
