!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
1,800sf on 2 acres. 3 bed. 1 bath. “3-season” aka summer. $2.49 mil and it’s got a pending sale. Days on market: 15.
Oh yes, it’s also on a very nice lake. But I kid you not, this is on the same lake almost line-of-sight about a mile and a half away:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
For $2.44 mil. Over 3,000sf and FOUR SEASON. Not to mention massive renovations about 10 years ago, and impeccable landscaping. Now I happen to know that on this lake, the nicer-looking house is in a much less private location, and has had trouble selling before probably because of that. AND there’s a lot of value here in these old camps. But STILL. Days on market (this time, for the 3rd or 4th time with this owner): 111.
Wow.
And yet, someone will probably knock down the cottage and build something like the second house anyway. At least here, they stay tucked in behind the trees for the most part. Very few homes are as visible as the big one linked above.
For my ~$2.5 million I’d have this:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
8 acres! Also a less desirable location than the first one, but WAY better than the other one. Makes me wonder why that one is selling but this one isn’t.
EDIT: I’d have THIS ONE
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Sometimes, I forget how cheap real estate is where I live.
Those houses would be $450,000 here. Even with the lake front and such.

Those prices make me glad my family camp is in northern Maine.

This lake is a bit inflated. Mind you, it’s fantastic. But the prices are insane, and also all over the place.

Love the last one. Very serene.
Meanwhile, on this side of the county...
Here's a 2BD 1BA next to a freeway being sold as a tear-down for $3,8 00,000....

I just can’t even. And I’m used to looking at lake prices, even if I’m across town where land is cheap. Did I mention we have a nice elementary school?

I'd rather that island I linked a few weeks ago for $600K CAD.

For that amount of money, I’ll live on a real lake, thanks.

I’m not sure I understand. It’s a 7,000 acre natural lake?

YES an island. There are about 30 on this lake, and in my lifetime (38 years) there have been only two that have changed hands. Extremely rare. And similarly priced - around $700k - but for less than 1 acre in both cases.

In the N.W. Ohio area , when someone says they live “on the lake” they mean something like this...
Not that the house you posted isn’t nice, and all, but its a fairly small lake by Great Lake standards.

Ahhhh yes I see what you mean. The term “lake” is woefully inadequate to distinguish between these two bodies of water. I recently hiked to a place with a body of water called “Lonesome Lake” which was 80 acres.
Makes me think of this:
