If this is an area that you end up targeting let me know. My parents have a property in Hendersonville and love it. Happy to answer any questions.

- Remote start – I live in a place with true 4 seasons a year. Winter and Summer this is a gamechanger.
- Adaptive cruise control – Long road trips with the family, this is amazing.
- Apple Play – I know this is going away in a lot of vehicles, but it’s a great OS, for lack of a better word.
Give me leather seats, 4WD/AWD capability, these things, and a naturally aspirated internal combustion engine and I’m good.
You basically described my car, but I wanna shoot whoever made that auto shut-off engine feature.

Well you have 54 million dollars, so......
First of all, thanks for all of the feedback. A few updates on the property and where we stand with our plans.

I spoke with a few different dock builders this week and had one go out today to look at it. Unfortunately, it sounds like for a boat the size of the one we have, the full lift system will have to be ripped out and replaced. The primary builder I spoke to said at roughly 25-30 years old, given what we want to do to it, he would recommend tearing down the boathouse and starting over.
No clue, I put this on my list to ask the realtor.

There's no bulkhead there at all. Definitely cause for concern as the bulkhead on this property doesn't have a turnback.

There is, Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) restricts the boat houses and has to approve designs. The current boathouse is at the maximum square footage for the lakefront property line so I have to work around what is already there.
Also, depending on what I hear back from the dock builder, this property may be out. One of the guys was shocked that I was looking at a place on this part of the lake with a wakeboard boat. Depth seems good enough and the neighbor has a Supra in the lift but he recommended I head under the bridge to a deeper portion of the lake before wakeboarding/surfing.

I'm not sure what a proper wiring job looks like on a lake house, but anything under the dock will take a beating over time when the water is up. A dock builder would likely know the best way to wire a dock. Might have them check out the wiring.

Is the septic a conventional with lateral lines or is it an aerobic system? Most lakes don't allow conventional anymore but if you have them, they're grandfathered in. So if the system ever fails, just know you may have to foot the bill to convert it to an aerobic system.

See that house to the left on your arieal view, I'd go talk to them if you can, looks like they are having to replace their bulkhead. If the area of the lake gets a lot of action from boats, specifically wake boats, you could have an issue eventually with your bulkhead.

See if there is a local governing body or company that sets rules for or has to approve plans for your bulkhead or boat-house.

UPDATE: We drug our feet for too long (November just got away from us) and we ended up booking 5 nights at the Hilton Tulum All-Inclusive Resort with direct flights on Delta AUS-CUN.
Will report back on the all inclusive experience.

I'm planning to start my own thing at some point. With an 18 month old now isn't the ideal time but, if pushed to, I'd jump in head first.

There is a bulkhead on the lot and its in good shape. The next door neighbors don't have one which concerns me as it could erode away at the property and damage the integrity of the bulkhead over time.
Will have the dock builder look at everything when they come out to consult on the changes, but it looks sturdy. Lake limits dock size to a formula based on your shoreline length so I wouldn't be able to go any larger, just rearrange what is there.

I'm Preparing to Buy a Lake House, What Do I Need to Know?
Posted by H2O Tiger on 12/2/25 at 11:01 pm
After about a year of looking, and the last three months in particular, Mrs. H2O and I have found a property that we like and are preparing to put in an offer on a lake house. While I've grown up on the water and had friends whose parents have had lake property, this will be a first for us.
This will be a second home and we plan to STR it when it isn't in use. We aren't going into this expecting to make any money, but rather not have it sit idle and help offset some of the costs. While we have toured the property twice and spoken to the realtor about our questions, I'm sure there are things that we are forgetting.
A few facts about the property:
- Located on Cedar Creek Reservoir just outside of Dallas
- Lot is just under half an acre. (0.3 acre parcel next door is also for sale)
- 3BR/2BA mobile home built in 1984 that has been fully remodeled (age is a concern for us but it seems extremely sound and we would likely remove and build in 5-10 years).
- Deepwater lot (9' deep at boathouse)
- Dual stall boathouse with dual jet ski and boat lifts (though we know this will have to be reconfigured to fit our boat)
- Landscaping irrigated via lake water
- City Water/Septic Tank
What do I need to be asking about/looking for? Realtor has provided us names of dock builders, inspectors and has recommendations for management companies to facilitate STRs.
Apologies in advance if this thread should have gone on the Outdoor/Money board.

It might just be for a project MMR has in Mississippi, you do know MMR does have work across the United States.
Considering they've only flown there to get people related to the Kiffins in the last 3 months, I don't think that is the case.

I'm sure your players will be very happy here next year. I heard Rouses placed a huge order for Trinidad and Tobago flags and got them at a discount from somewhere up north.

I had no clue who the QB was at Westlake until today and I'm at their sports rehab place twice a week.
Looks like they went 7-4 on the year with close losses and massive, blowout wins. May have inflated his stats a bit. Kiffin clearly liked him enough to recruit him to Ole Miss though.

Looks like OL Coach John Garrison and RB Coach Kevin Smith were on the plane according to some reports.

What should I be listening to? Serious question.
Not in BTR and found The Bengal Tiger and Locked on LSU on Spotify during the coaching search. That led me to AFR. Is there somebody else on Spotify I should be listening to for LSU?
