Above looking toward lake Patoka can see the water thru the trees above and right of tansformer on power pole. When leaves are down can see water much better. 150 yds from back door to the water.

Above looking down drive.

Yea I know I need to replace fence and repair flag pole in shot below.

Ahw man......

1. I'll never get my wife to move that far away from Indy so long as her mother lives here.

2. I don't have the cash to buy land right now, probably won't for a couple years after the wife goes back to work.

3. If 1 and 2 weren't an obstacle there would have been a good chance of me being convinced to be your neighbor within the next 6-12 months.

Just curious but what does land cost on average per acre down your direction?

 

[longbow]

$250,000 for a 800 sq ft barn and a house collapsing from termites. The land is rolling hills and woods.

I bet you could easily get it for $210,000 and ask him to remove the termite infested home.

Can you walk that 150 yard and get in your boat??? If so I think I just found my favorite. I know I said the ponds were my favorite, but man if you can walk 150 yds and jump in a boat and water ski anytime you want.. Been skiing for more than 40 years(I learned really really young).

Sorry Patoka lake is COE lake and doesn't allow docks, they own land all the way around the lake. I have a four wheeler path down to lake and we can walk down to fish or watch the wildlife.
You are allowed to tie up a boat for 24 hours. Some of the other locals leave boat tied up all summer and when and if they get a ticket(very,very, rarely) they go to court and say they had been fishing just a few hours before getting ticket. It usually gets thrown out as no one can prove the boat has not moved in 24 hours.
I don't do this as my boat has a generator on it to run my bowfishing lights and I'm afraid it might walk off. Also two big a hassle taking gas down to boat all the time and bringing bows and fishing rods and stuff back and forth. It's only about 3 miles to boat ramp.
Still it is a beautiful lake and we like it here.

I am humbled by this accolade, there are some great views out there.
But I am also proud to share my view, I've been working on it for the last 5 years. My prairie grasses are developing quite well in the background.
