Which lake do you like best? What about lake Sherwood in Milford? One of the questions I hear is that public lakes are busier than private lakes. Basically that is true. First I have to tell you that all metro Detroit lakes are busy on holiday weekends. Many of them are busy on the weekend too. Usually during the week the lakes in Oakland County or Livingston County are quiet. Sometimes there is nobody even on the lake during the week. So if you have a lakefront home in the metro Detroit area you will most likely have a quiet lake during the week.

Lake Sherwood History
The lake was man made during the 1950's. James Cole and Lewis Easlick were 2 men that brought Lake Sherwood from a dream into reality. At one point they had a dream of connecting all the lakes they had made together. The other lakes they dug and developed are Cedar Island Lake, Neva Lake, and Brendal Lake. Lot prices in 1960 were $8,900 but they were not selling. They raised the price to $10,150 and then the lots started selling. Lake Sherwood hosted the State salom championship in 1958 - 59.
The dam is 1600 ft long and the lake outlet flows into the Huron River via Ann Arbor into Lake Erie. During the fall they lower the level of the lake.

Every weekend Detroiter pack up the car each to drive three, four, five hours to get to their lake. They may be driving to Houghton Lake, Higgins Lake, Opal Lake, or Torch Lake to name a few of the many beautiful lakes up north. They head up on Friday fighting the traffic on I-75 or 23 or 27. To skip fighting the traffic they will either take off another day early or come back on Tuesday.
So why do all of that. We have so many beautiful lakes within an hour of metro Detroit. My own cottage is only 15 minutes away. What you say 15 minutes? Whether it is 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, or 4 hours away it is all the same. Your lake cottage is your get away from the real world. It is your escape place. Your place to go to unwind. A place to recharge. To have fun and make memories with the family.
I myself do not want to be worn out and tired when I get to my lake home. You should not be frustrated from fighting the traffic. You should not have to leave early to beat the traffic. You do not need to cut a beautiful Sunday afternoon short because you want to beat the traffic jam and the snarl of traffic.
So why drive 4 hours? So why cut your Sunday afternoon short when you can have a beautiful lake home within an hour of home. So call me today on my cell at (248) 310-6239 to start on your local lake home search!

Here is what a previous client said about me!
"Dear Russ,
It´s been 2 months since we moved into our new Canton condo and we
are very happy with it. In the beginning we didn´t even
know what we needed but with your help, guidance and
patience we chose the best condo in the area with the best
price according to our needs. We were looking all over. We looked in Novi, Warrren, Canton, Farmington Hills. But we finally found our Canton condo. We appreciate everything you
have done for us. We would recommend you without hesitation
to everyone we know who wants to buy or sell a house. "
