waterfront property indiana

You read the papers and you are making decisions-have you thought about buying waterfront property in Indiana.  Indiana has only so much lakefront property and one of the nicest bodies of water is a private lake only 30 miles West of the progressive city of Indianapolis, IN.  Heritage Lake has been one of the best kept secrets in Indiana for some time and now it appears to be a buyer’s market, making it a great opportunity for a sound real estate investment.  I don’t claim to be a financial planner, so contact us at Brouhard Realtors for market statistics, what is available on the market currently and market analysis information.  We’ve lived at and sold Heritage Lake since 1987 and do 98% of our real estate business at the lake, we can answer your questions!  Now may be the perfect time for you to invest in Heritage Lake.

Lots 71 and 72 Jefferson Valley are Heritage Lake Indiana properties that had been undeveloped and not maintained.  Darrel had a vision for these lakefront lots but there was a lot of work to be done.  Shannon McCullough, a local excavator, who has equipment to dredge the waterfront and move ground completed a major makeover on these waterfront lots, creating one of the most panoramic views among some gorgeous hardwoods making these lakefront properties a prime building site for that lake home dream!  Each lot is priced at $159,900 and may be purchased either separately or together!  There aren’t many waterfront properties like these…only an hour away from Indianapolis, IN.  Brouhard Realtors can show you these lots and other waterfront homes and lots from their boat!  Make plans to visit Heritage Lake today and enjoy the remainder of the boating season and the fall colors that will arrive soon!
