There are currently 4 Lake homes for sale on Zukey Lake in Livingston County Michigan. Zukey Lake is part of the Portage Chain of Lakes on the Huron River.

Zukeyis a very shallow lake with many of the docks stretching out far into the lake. Most people do not do any water sports on the lake. They elect to go over to Strawberry or Portage Lake where there is more room.

Zukey Lake is in Hamburg Township and if you buy a piece of Zukey Lake real estateyour kids would go to Pinckney schools.i

Some Zukey Lake homes are small cottages and some are updated newer colonials and caped cods. On the south side of the lake, the homes are on a dirt road. It's almost like you are up north when you are on that road. Some of the other roads around the lake are paved. So you do have a wide variety to chose from when looking for a Zukey Lake home.

What is nice about Zukey Lake is that the Zukey Lake Tavern is right on the lake and you can pull up for a beer and a burger. There is also a marina on the lake.

If you are thinking of buying on the Chain of Lakes give me a call!

Oakland County water front homes

I received a call today from a prospective lakefront home buyer that was interested in Southeastern Michigan lake homes under $80,000.

The problem is that to get on a good lake or even get a livable home in the Southeastern Michigan area on a lake you are going to be paying $100,000 - $150,000.

If you look at all the lake front homes that sold in the last year there are only 3 on what I would call good sized lakes. As a local realtor I have been in many of the under $100,000 houses. Some of them need to be completely torn down and you would be buying it for the property only.

The buyer on the phone was expecting a nice 1000 square foot house on a big lake for under $80,000. That isn't very likely to happen. So I didn't want to get their hopes up. BUT there are some homes that are worth it if you are handy and like to be living on a lake/small pond. So yes it is possible to buy a Southeastern Michigan lake home under $80,000 but it most likely will need work, or be on a smaller lake, or be a very small house, or be a 1920's to 1950's home.

Here is a list of all the lakefront homes that sold in the last 360 days

I want to say I have to hand it too Michigan State Spartan football team. They played a heck of a game against Iowa. To lose the game with 2 seconds left was a heartbreaker. They played tough and they played well.

To all the young men on the team when you look at yourself in the mirror tomorrow be proud. You may have lost but I'm proud of you and I'm sure many other people are in Michigan. Football games sometimes are won with one key play and Iowa did it. But you made us proud by playing a great game.

If you keep dreaming about buying an Oakland County lakefront home or having Michigan lakefront property then now might be a great time to start looking.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to relax on your pontoon boat next Memorial day? A lazy day on the hammock watching the kids play in the water. With your family and friends. Isn't that why we work hard?

Close your eyes and think about the sun beating down while you are relaxing on the lawn chair watching the ducks swim by. And then imagine later that night sitting around the campfire cooking marsh mellows and making smores. And looking up at all the stars that you don't see in the city.

That's what Livingston County lake living is all about. Would you like to start living and stop working so hard?
