3 Lake Lot Buying Tips in Georgia's Lake Country

Buying a lake lot in Lake Oconee/Greensboro is more than picking out a great piece of land on or near the water. It's about making sure the property will work for your lifestyle and that you can do what you envision on the land. For example, you could purchase a lake lot with the hopes of putting in your own private dock, but it turns out the landscape or covenants of the community you purchased in prohibits building your own private docks or boat ramps. Wouldn't that be a huge disappointment? That's why we've put together this quick list of tips to make sure you pick the right lake lot.

Inspect the Property Carefully

Before putting in that offer, and definitely before you head to the closing table with your agent, make sure you inspect your potential lake lot very carefully and comprehensively. Take into consideration the things you want to use your lake lot for.

Do you want to create your own private beach with access to the water? You'll want to make sure the landscape and community HOA regulations allow homeowners to have their own private beach to enjoy.

If you're planning to build your dream vacation home or eventual permanent home on your lake lot in Lake Oconee/Greensboro, make sure the land and soil are fit for new construction. During the inspection, you'll also want to make sure that the lot you plan to build on will have the access to necessities such as water, electricity, among others. The last thing you want is to start building on your lake lot and find that the land was never fit to have a home constructed on it.

Choose the Right Water

Lake Oconee has several lake-living opportunities, both within established and new construction communities, and others that are independent of neighborhoods.

If you're looking to enjoy the relaxing effects of calm lake water, then you may want to consider the Waters Edge private community or the non-gated Sebastian Cove. If you're looking for a more interactive community of the lake to partake in various water and lifestyle activities, then you may want to consider purchasing a lot in Reynolds Lake Oconee.

Look Beyond Your Lot

Finding the right lot for your lifestyle is crucial. So when you think you've found the right lot for your dream home, it's best to take some time and really consider attributes outside the lot such as marina locations, restaurants, recreational activities, doctors, and more.

The Lake Oconee/Greensboro area has a thriving community of small businesses. While you're previewing lots to purchase, be sure to check out the local Chamber of Commerce or downtown Greensboro area of local shops, restaurants, and other businesses.
