Are you looking for a quieter lake in a semi rural setting that is not too far from Ann Arbor? Then you may want want to check out Joslin Lake in Gregory Michigan.
I have sold a home on Joslin Lake before and you will love my low selling commissions and my home buyer bonus for home buyers.
If you are looking for an upper end lake with million dollar luxury lake estates then Joslin Lake is not going to be for you. The majority of the homes on the lake are smaller. Many of them range from 672 square foot to a little over 2100 square foot. They were built from the 1920's to 2010. Most of the roads around the lake are gravel. Approximately one-third of the shoreline of the 187-acre lake is characterized as marshy and undeveloped, with emergent wetland vegetation that includes lily pads, cattails, and bulrushes. The remaining shoreline is developed with mainly permanent homes although some summer cottages do exist. This developed shoreline (primarily the north and east sides of the lake) is mostly lawns with a fair number of trees and a few rock seawalls.
Joslin Lake lies in Washtenaw County and partly in Livingston County (the north edge of the lake barely lies in Livingston County), but with a Gregory mailing. Most of the homes are one average size lots though there are a few that range over an acre in size.
To get this information I pulled all the information of the real estate MLS for the last 10 years.
Joslin Lake is just one of many lakes located in the Pinckney State Recreation Area that provides paddlers with a quiet and scenic waters for paddling and wildlife viewing. It is an all sports lake so you can have a speed boat on the lake. You have to remember that that lake is shallow. Many areas of the lake are under 10 foot deep.
There are also four small inlets from South Lake, which join together and enter Joslin Lake on its south end. The lake outlets via a small stream in the northeast corner that discharges to Portage Creek. A DNR public access site and gravel boat launch is located on the south side of the lake off of Joslin Lake Road to the east. Joslin is a very shallow lake with depths averaging 5 to 8 feet. About two-thirds of the lake is shallower then 5 feet with one deeper area reaching the 20 foot maximum depth. The lake's bottom is composed mainly of sand, marl, pulpy peat and fibrous peat. It is mostly sand along the north and east sides of the lake with submerged aquatic vegetation sparse or absent.
The lake is surrounded partially by undeveloped wetland and woodland terrain and the remainder is residential homes, mostly along the east side. The lake is mostly used for fishing, sailing, and non-motorized boating making it a relaxing place to paddle. There is a public boat launch located at the southern end of the lake that provides access to the lake.
