Heritage Lake Open House Event a Huge Success on August 1st

Brouhard Realtors has been around for awhile…even my youthful self, as much as I hate to admit it, has been out here living the Heritage Lake dream for over 22 years! This past Sunday was one of our best open house showings to date with over 23 groups visiting one of our listings! It seems our gorgeous lake is not the secret it was years ago! Now is one of the best time to buy at this Indiana lake that we’ve ever seen.  There are some fantastic lakehomes available in all price ranges. We pended 60 Jefferson Valley yesterday and are working on some additional offers. Our lake is just spectacular right now. I’ve been watching our resident Kingfisher on a daily basis. The Kingfisher is a curious bird. It sits in our tree looking out over the water and then darts straight down into the water coming back up into the tree with a small fish in its’ mouth. I watch it swallow the fish whole and then he does it all over again. I read in my bird book that they regurgitate small balls of the non-digestible parts of the fish/crawdad etc. I also watch several Great Blue Herrons, Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, Hummingbirds and more almost daily out of my windows. But my favorite is the Kingfisher. I can hear his unique call from inside my home and I look out and there he is ready to show off his perfect skills. That is the beauty of Heritage Lake!  Having lived here since I was 24 year of age, I’ve been able to experience so many different phases of lake living from being the one on the water skis and tubes to only being the spotter, from enjoying the party times on the water to enjoying watching other people party through my window, from the quiet weekdays when there are only a few boats on the water watching the varied and beautiful birds and wildlife quietly go about their daily lives to the hustle and bustle of numerous teenage boys tromping in and out of the house, on and off the boat.  I’ve pulled in many a fish, but nothing compares to the looks on my son’s faces when they come running into the house with a nice fish on their line………………… My back is really bad and I can’t actively do a lot of the things I love to do but I am so happy to be somewhere so beautiful where I can enjoy so many special and wonderful things in spite of my limitations. Regardless of your age, abilities, or disabilities…there is something special for everyone at Heritage Lake Indiana!

Heritage Lake Winter Enjoys Wildlife and Beauty

I grew up in Indianapolis, IN.  I always longed to be in nature, surrounded by beauty not buildings.  Heritage Lake has been my home for 22 years. It still amazes me how alive the lake is in the winter months when the temps near zero.  It amazes me that our private Indiana lake is only an hour west of downtown Indianapolis.  We have lots of different talented people that live at the lake, both summer home owners and those of us who stay year ’round.  One talented lake resident recently sent the photo above showing geese taking flight in the morning fog over the lakefront and sent it to me.  The detail is amazing.  Our resident bald eagles are here this year, too.  Today there was one on the ice of the main body of the lake watching the geese for a possible meal.  They do this as the lake freezes up and there is less opportunity for fishing the lake.  Now is the time to prepare to be on the waterfront in Indiana this spring! Heritage Lake is the perfect option for the world we live in today, a great escape, close to home where you can be with family and friends and escape the day to day. Brouhard Realtors is waiting to serve you and help you be ready in the perfect lakehouse this year!
