I agree, everyone has different taste on what is livable but I haven't seen anything under $250 that didn't need a ton of work and even at that you are probably needing dock addition if your boats over 30 feet. I looked at the upper mile markers and they are just as proud of the houses there as Osage Beach right now.
If I were to go house shopping there today I'd have to say $300 and $350K is more likely the number, that should get you 16-1800 sq, 80 feet of frontage and a decent dock with blacktop near or to the door. Prob 3 bed and 2 1/2 or 3 bath, and you probably won't have to update the Whole house.

I have a 2200 sq house on the 31 mm of the lake for sale only gravel is the shared driveway about 100yds. It is listed in the OSO classifieds, it's under 250K and most of the updating has been completed.
