I will say, it is curious how many people said “flat lot”. I think many inexperienced lake front owners may not think of this reality. When we boat around the lake and see houses on steep lots with hundreds of steps to access the water, we say “ no way”! Can’t imagine climbing those stairs every time we wanted a cold drink, snack, etc. Having a short walk across a flat lot sure is nice. We notice most of the houses with a stairway to heaven, rarely have anyone hanging out on the beach. I think the stairs get old real fast.

Likewise, I've noticed a majority of the comments include a "flat lot". I've always enjoyed hiking on the ice at different lakes and ponds. Some properties overhang breath-taking cliffs! It's fun to look at the various staircases to heaven. Similarly, I've come up with a multitude of names for them like Chutes and Ladders, Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, etc. One in particular caught my attention because there was an entire staircase missing in the middle of a large zig zag. I called that one the Indiana Jones staircase!
Thank you for your fun comment!
