How is the water level on LOTO? Does it get low like other places that you can't use your boat?

And the opposite, do the low laying houses get flooded?

How is the water quality?

3rd question, not so good. It's no torch lake Michigan or Bimini Bahamas! Yes the water is that blue!

Speaking of Bahamas: 1/1 in Bimini Sands (46 miles from Ft Lauderdale)............120K!

My FB Page is LOTO Contemporary Homes if you want to check it out or join in with ideas. Yes it is on Dude Ranch, Stop and say Hi, next time you cruise through.

2nd tier means as stated there is another house(s) underneath ours on the water. LOTO is basically a cliff everywhere so the terrain is easy to have a full view without really even looking at the houses below you. In our case I also own a lot behind our home so I have water access if I want to put in a dock. We are also have a number of marinas close so that too is an option.

Thanks for the compliments. We actually enjoy being 2nd tier, our view in this house is WAY better than when we were on the water in Porto Cima for substantially less cost. and.... We also have a flat driveway going into our home. (This is a big deal at the lake if you see some of the waterfront homes!)

I truly feel LOTO is the best place to own and have a boating habit. We have the best average of places I have found. Centrally located in the US, decent weather 9 months of the year, resort atmosphere (everyone is from somewhere else so you can play the tax/registration game) and an area that is growing. Plus for those that are Political, we are 94% Red in the last election. Then throw in the cost of living... It works out well.

Purchased a 12x40 slip in community dock. Subdivision has a great clubhouse with indoor pool, outdoor pool and hot tub.

We were weekenders my whole life down here. We moved full time 4yrs ago. Been living in our condo. It was time for a house. We’ve priced and searched hot and heavy the last 1-2yrs. In our price range houses I would find need a handful of things done, if not full rehab. We decided building was our best choice.

We’re excited to work with bajaholic he’s a great guy. Recommend anyone considering buying a lot. Call him and talk with him.

There has to be some great value homes out there in different areas. Getting listings from locals on locations good and bad are invaluable. So many places look great at great prices but if you don't know the area they might not be a good deal.
