Rattlesnake Island Association Lot

Well, in all fairness, I admit we still don't have all our ducks in a row just yet. But, we are lining them up.

For one, as I said, we don't yet own a boat. We previously used water taxis or the boats of friends/family, driven by them, not by us. Neither my husband or I have our boating licenses yet. Just the course materials, and I've had a little sailing experience (a week's day classes last year). We may not actually buy a boat until next spring. But, we do have family currently on the lake, and if we buy something before fall, we may mooch or contribute for some transportation off of them if we are up same weekends. Or do a water taxi for the time being.

In two of the properties we have looked at, there's the possibility of including the owners' boat with the sale, one of them on rattlesnake, where I guess they use the famed association lot for it ... so just wanted to poke around on that account.

We are thinking of buying property soon only because it seems there are a few more motivated sellers towards the end of season, and the market seems to have ticked up a little lately. A few property prices have seen new reductions just in the time we've been looking. We've seen 7 places on the market, not counting places we've previously stayed, which help a lot in adding to the comparison shopping.

Oh, I wanted to add - I know I'm new - but if we do move in, we'll try to be good neighbors, not some of the kind I see getting the eye rolls in these forums!
