Some have an easement, some have community dock with a slip you purchase or lease, some have no water access, it just depends on the development. LOTO, is still small town Missouri. Not a lot here as far as professional sport, big college, or other large city venues. But, you are only 2 1/5 hours max from the Blues, Chiefs, Cardinals, Royals, Mizzou, MO State. A little further to Razorbacks, Hawkeyes, Cyclones Huskers. Kansas City, St Louis, Columbia, Springfield MO, Branson and Joplin are all just a day trip away.

Here is a picture of my home @ LOTO . My taxes for 2020 are $2200. We are 2nd tier, and my house is worth about 600K (3200 sq ft w/ 32 x 40 attached garage)
Our old house was on the water in Porto Cima https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7...18021221_zpid/ The taxes when we sold it 4 years ago were $4000
Here is the kicker about LOTO. Our market is flat out on fire. Current listing time to sale is 72 hours w/multiple offers. Who knows what the election is going to change things but for right now, it is a sellers market. That being said, you still get WAY more house for the money than most places in the states. And... well, our lake certainly is a Mecca for Performance boating! I may be prejudiced, but in my opinion, it doesn't get any better.

Think about it’s sad day when you’re happy with paying $6500.00 a year in taxes.Then you see what Bajaholic is paying a year in taxes for that beautiful home,only a few more years for me and NJ then I’m out of here.

Ahhh, My house isn't for sale, but I would be happy to build one for you! We are building/promoting contemporary homes in the area. At first we were pretty outside the box, but in the last couple of years people have started to appreciate the contemporary style and it is growing. 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.

I'm a couple years away from retirement but thinking more and more each day.
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?

LOTO is the cash cow for the state. It is governed by Ameren as stated and they know how to keep and make money. Thus we are spoiled at LOTO, they take very good care of us.
Quality, it is a river backed up by numerous dams throughout the region/state. Generally it is good. But if you are expecting crystal clear water, we are not that. Especially in party cove!
