Check out a place called "Stratford Harbor", located a couple miles from Montross, VA. Has all the stuff you seem to desire. Great boating and fishing. Club house with swimming pool. Not to mention a freshwater lake as well as the lower Potomac. River provides great salt water fishing. Lots of nice bass and other edible fish in the lake as well. Public water supply, septic for sewer. We just came back from a few days there. Lots of fish cleaned and ready for freezing. Water fowl hunting in the winter is pretty good, too, if you are interested in that. Taxes are reasonable. Can't tell you how much they might be, as my accountant (aka wife) does all our finances. LOTS of deer, too but can't be hunted in the complex. Lots of farm land where they might be hunted.

Here you go: http://mhtrustland.org/index.php/land/land-sales/ Just want land on water? Nearly all of the ones my company appraised this year were waterfront. Here's a picture I took while inspecting 3 of the parcels in little tutka bay.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The trouble with our Liberal friends...is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

Check out this site. Over on the right hand side there's a Special Property Search list, one of which is waterfront property. www.unitedcountry.com/ | |||

Hey, I kind of live on waterfront property. I used a little common sense and built on the "highwater" side of the road. Here in Kentucky, that means across the road from the water. Once, back in 1937, we had a really big flood. The water crested at 80 feet, and my basement is above that. I'm not in the 500 year flood plain, and I'm happy about it. I'm retired and all day I look out at the river. It keeps on moving along. Ole man river. Today's big excitement was the marker bouy somehow moved downstream a few hundred feet.

I think you could get something in Northern WI or MN. My MiL sold her cabin on an acre and 120ft frontage for about 200k last Jan. | |||

Maybe Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia? Near Roanoke, Va , freshwater, although the summers can get quite humid. Not sure pricing , I used to visit there a lot at the state park walking my dogs at the trail. http://smith-mountain-lake.com 美しい犬 | |||

Please tell me where canal front property is that cheap in OBA-Pensacola area. Canal front property with no house costs more than that. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

I was going to mention Smith Mt. Lake where I live until I saw your budget.Most decent homes for sale around here start at 600K. Most waterfront lots go for more than your budget and then you have a house on top of that. In your budget I would look at TN, KY, and GA. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

As others have said, the price of the dirt is highly dependent on the "water" you are fronting. For example, lots at the lake we hang out on in AL are $2-4,000 per foot of shoreline, depending on other factors such as depth, area in a slough, etc. That isn't with the home, just the lot. This on a 44,000 acre lake with ~750 miles of shoreline.  We have a lot there with a 750 ft/sq. cabin from the mid-60's that my parents bought for $7,300. Last appraisal was in neighborhood of $300,000, but that with the assumption of a teardown. 93' of water front, a relatively narrow lot.Other lakes, in MS, AR, etc. and even less desirable areas in AL are a fraction of that. You have to balance what you want from the property with the price, like every real estate deal. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Thanks guys, all really great info. I really appreciate it and the email too. Need to do a bunch of research. Might for go actual water front and consider something with the water view near the water as well. The Kentucky suggestions, where they about water front or just the area? Was not sure on that? Keep it coming. Again, thanks for the tips, leads and email. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Jacksonville-Hubert area of coastal NC.... Get out into the smaller coastal towns....it's affordable....a house listing that I'm aware of sits on almost 4 acres with a detached workshop/garage, build 1980's, four bedroom, two bath, has a dock on the feeder creek and it less than 1/4 mile to ICW and 3/4 mile to open ocean. Last time this went on the market in was in the &190-210K range. This may go on the market in the near future for $230-270 range. | |||

Can you have a waterfront house on Bull Shoals? I thought it was a Corp lake and development was restricted to a certain distance back from waterline, much like Table Rock??? | |||

My house is for sale, but doesn't meet all of your requirements.  | |||

Don't forget the additional coast of home / property insurance when you do this - particularly with Ocean / Gulf front property (hurricanes, etc). | |||
