Exactly. Oh well I’ve got some time (hopefullly) on my side. I’m 38 w three boys the oldest being 8 and youngest 4, if we have to sit on the sidelines for a few years until the right place comes along so be it. Until then it’s save save save! And rent for a week every summer!
Thanks again to everyone who chimed in on this! |

All of this to say...you are totally correct, you have plenty of time to find the right place, and time is definitely on your side so definitely wait for the right place for your family! |

You may wait a long time for a real estate listing. Find a place you like, rent it every year for longer periods of time. Have the boys send cards and letters praising the camp and great times they have there. After awhile you can offer to buy with a lifetime occupancy for the seller, reducing their time as you increase yours periodically. After awhile, you will all know it is inevitable that you will buy. If the owner has kids in California who think they will get rich on the sale when Grandma dies, be careful.

oddly specific
This property might be a good candidate for an advanced tertiary wastewater system some day. They are fridge-sized enclosed systems that can enable people to build homes on ledge, near water etc. Couple years back a city eng told me there will come a time where these systems are preferred due to the rising costs of construction manhours and land value. When that tipping point occurs, certain municipalities will prefer/require this type of OWTS, and eventually states. Thought that was interesting ![]() How do people get back and forth to island houses when the lake is sorta frozen but not really? |

I have always wondered if there are any brave folks who live on any one of the many islands all year long?
Anyone have any idea? |
