A split lakefront property is a property on the lake that is “split” by the the hiway between the home and the lake. Therefore, your view and access to the lake is interrupted by the hiway and you must cross the hiway to enjoy the part of your property that is on the lake. The main benefit to this arrangement is easy access the to lake acroos the street. Many of these properties have bouys that go with property and some also have piers. The other beneift is the price. A split lakefront with the key qualities would be priced a couple $$million higher if it were a true lakefront.
Every once in awhile a split lakefront will come on the market that doesn’t suffer as much as most from the hiway running through the yard. This is usually because the home is set back from the road and above it. This will provide a nice view without traffic streaming through it.
Recently, two of these have come on the market. One is the Yurosek place in Hurricane Bay. It just went into escrow. They were asking $3,145,000 down from $3,649,000. It is scheduled to close in a week. The other is at the north end of Agate Bay. This property is fantastic! The home is beautiful and newer with a panoramic view directly south down the length of the lake. It also includes a pier with a boat lift and bouy. There are no other splits like it.
Priced now at $3,195,000 I expect it will get some attention. Call if I can help > 530-414-1388
