Duck Lake homes Oakland County MI

I believe there are only about 4 or 5 homes on the lake.    The only one I have information on is a lakefront home that was built in 1994.  It was a 3120 square foot brick colonial, 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, walkout basement on 1.92 acres. 

There is at least one very large estate style home on the lake.

There have been no homes sold between January & November 2012 on the lake.

If you are buying or selling a lake property the size of the frontage on the lake does influence the price of the lake home.  Just as the size of the home influences the sales price so does the lake frontage.  A hundred foot lot on Maceday Lake in Waterford will be worth more than a 35' lot. 

Yes back in the early day's (the 1920's) some lake lots were only 35' because the cottages were too small.  Over the years some lake home owners have bought up the neighbors lots, bulldozed other homes down, or split a lot with the neighbor to make their lots bigger.  Most lake lots in Livingston and Oakland County range from 35'- to about 150' in general.  Of course there are homes that have large lake frontage of over 200'.  I have seen some that are over a 1000' feet when they are on a peninsula of a lake.  That is always nice because you have a panoramic view from the property and the home.  I have even sold a small lake property of 26'.  Back in the day they did not have side set backs.

I have seen some lake homes that are only one foot from the lot lines.  It is very important when you buy a lake home to get a staked survey if you can.  I always recommend to any buyer to look up the property lot lines.  I have seen several homes listed this year where they were advertised as lake front yet the property never actually touched the water. It is definitely buyer beware.  So be smart and look up the lot lines yourself.
