The Scoop on Buying a Second Home in 2009 at Heritage Lake Indiana

01.22.09

heritage lake aerial view

2009-A new beginning in many ways, historically with a new American President and perhaps for you as well as with the purchase of a vacation home at Heritage Lake.  According to an article at RIS Media in a Commentary by Curtis Seltzer on January 19, 2009 ”Vacation-home prices have also held up better than metropolitan housing, which dropped 20% in the 20 largest metropolitan areas tracked by the S&P/Case-Shiller composite house price index in the 18 months following a mid-2006 high.”  Another interesting statement regarding second homes was offered in the same article which states: “The best buys will be in nice places that have yet to be turned into trendy destinations. Look for small towns that are still about one-third pickup trucks and have no yak-butter crepe place.”  Now that description sounds uncannily like Heritage Lake Indiana!  Our private lakefront paradise is rural and out of the way, yet you can get to downtown Indy in and hour and Greencastle, the home of Depauw University, in 20 minutes.  The location to a major growing metropolitan area is a very important factor in the future of Heritage Lake.  The current prices are variable on waterfront homes from $189,900 to $529,900 which means they are still much more affordable than many Indiana lakes.  There are some lovely lakefront lots available as well.  The lake has maintained a quaint lakeside atmosphere but has every modern convenience including a marina with gas at the water’s edge, boat launch, 3 sandy beaches and and 2 clubhouses with tennis and a sports complex.  You’ll enjoy the lakeside evening concerts in the summer and the professional fireworks over the water for the 4th of July.  Heritage Lake can be your summer home destination and you can be ready for spring if you start looking now!  Also, the lake is private for property owners and their guests so everyone has great pride in maintaining our lakefront paradise!

heritage lake bass

Heritage Lake…as I gazed out the window this morning there were two bald eagles sitting in the tree across the way and I watched one swoop down over the water to catch a fish.  Then I looked out the other direction just a little later to see two swans swimming peacefully in the chilly water with the newly fallen snow in the background.  The ducks were out as usual, diving down and bobbing up again.  Then I got an email from my brother about the big catch he had out here on Thanksgiving.  He said, Here are some pictures from when my friend Bill and I fished Heritage Lake the day after Thanksgiving. Water temperature was 37 degrees. I caught 2 19″ bass (One 3 1/2 lbs, one 3 3/4 lbs). 3 of the pictures are of these 2 fish. Also caught 8 other bass. most were 14-16″ Earlier we were catching white bass in the deepest water in the lake (about 35 ft deep). One about 13″ is shown in a picture. I probably caught 25 or so of those, many 12″ or better before we started fishing for the largemouth bass.”  You see, Heritage Lake has something for everyone, whether you sit and take in the views or actively fish for the big catch.  Of course, when the lake freezes there will be ice fishing and ice skating.  But before you know it, Spring will be here and you’ll want to jump in your boat for a cruise, take the kids tubing and skiing and bask in the sun!  You can be ready for that!  There are some great waterfront home purchases available, or maybe a lakefront lot would be good.  As a lot owner you can build whenever you want to and still enjoy the lake in the meantime!   The campgrounds would are available to property owners as well as a boat slip at the marina for $550 season!  Heritage Lake is only 30 miles from Indianapolis and has 320 acres of water and year round fun! Lake homes range from $189,900 to $524,900.  Waterfront properties that are undeveloped range from $119,900 to $189,900.  Offshore properties are quite affordable and offer lakefront access at several lakeside common areas.  There are boat slips at the marina.  The clubhouse complex on the water has a beach, beach volleyball, tennis courts and sports complex.  The marina has waterfront gas pumps, snack shop and bait shop along with a beach and park/picnic areas.  At Lincoln Park there is a third beach with park and picnic areas.  Brouhard Realtors has been selling Heritage Lake Properties since 1987!  Come out soon so you’ll be ready for spring!   Now is the time to buy lake property in Indiana!
