Build the boater-friendly lakefront oasis of your dreams by planning the house with your favorite hobby in mind near Lake Murray.
Boaters building on the water need easy, safe access to that water. Define your plans for docks and piers early on, as it will be cheaper and easier to address water access while building the house itself.
Outdoor kitchens on lakefront properties give boaters a place to clean and cook their catches of the day. A sleek, organized outdoor kitchen to store bait, catches, or refreshing drinks after a long day on the lake may be just the amenity your custom house needs.
Outdoor living spaces let boaters with lakefront properties enjoy the lake even though they’re not out on it. Comfortable seating areas, covered dining areas, and even screened-in porches can get a ton of use.
Boaters coming home after a long day out on Lake Murray, who don’t want to bring the lake into their beautiful custom home, could do with a mudroom with its own designated entrance. Let this transitional room be the place where you drop all gear, shoes, and clothing from fishing, swimming, and other lake adventures, and protect the rest of your house from the mess.
Plan a designated boat storage solution with Blythe Custom Homes to make your new build on Lake Murray more boater-friendly. Elevated homes may have boat storage underneath pilings. In contrast, other homes may have detached boating garages for all equipment and gear. Storage should be secure and intentional, not an afterthought.
Boaters who build custom homes on Lake Murray deserve to get the most out of their view. Large windows are a common feature of lakefront properties, making them feel larger and washing them in natural light.
Enjoy your house more, get a good return on investment, and maybe even spend less on boater-friendly features by adding them during construction on your custom home.
Customizing your house so that it’s a boater’s paradise is worth it to ensure you get as much enjoyment as possible from your lakefront property in South Carolina. Add features that can improve your experience each time you go out on the lake.
There are long-term benefits of building a boater-friendly home on Lake Murray. Private water access and piers, secure boating storage solutions, elevated homes, outdoor kitchens and living areas, and other boater-friendly features may yield a strong return on investment as the next homeowner will most likely be another avid boater moving into the area.
When you integrate boater-friendly features into the original plans for your custom home, it may cost less than adding them after construction. Installation during construction is typically always easier than installation after construction.
In general, waterfront properties need to be at least 50 feet away from the shoreline of Lake Murray, sometimes 75 feet. There are also setback rules for the space between the road and the house, so you may need a larger lot than you anticipated to build the custom house you want.
In addition to construction and building permits, you will need special permits and approval to build a dock from your lakefront property to the water in South Carolina.
While adding features to make your custom home on Lake Murray more boater-friendly might increase your total budget, it may cost less to include these features during construction than to make renovations or additions later.
