Lakefront properties just might be America’s best kept real estate secret. When looking for a house on the water, many buyers instinctively gaze out at the ocean. But coastal property is limited to where the waves are, leading to fewer offerings and potentially sky-high prices. (Malibu, anyone?)
But looking for a lakeside home opens up a huge interior swath of the country where bodies of water abound. In fact, we recently took a deep dive into the nation’s top lake towns with affordable properties.
We decided to wade into the waterfront and find luxurious lake houses currently on the market. Here are nine of our favorites—c’mon in, the water’s fine! (OK, it’s actually a bit chilly, but still.)
