Wife and I are starting to figure where we will go once daughter is out of grad school. We've considered Sarasota Fla or the West coast of Fla but honestly I am not sure I want to be around all the busy busy....I am thinking of mountain home near a lake where we can still enjoy our boating...I do not want to be boating on a small lake...We boat on the Chesapeake Bay right now so I am not sure how I will like lake boating... Hoping I could get some insight from members....Want to keep our home budget no more than 350K... I do not even know if we are being realistic.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Have you looked at Cumberland in KY? It's a bit further north, but there's a lot of available shoreline. We have a place right at the junction of the Cumberland River (North Fork), South Fork and the Main Lake. We see all four seasons there, but the winters are pretty mild. It's 101 miles from one end to the other, 1200+ miles of shoreline, several large marinas, lots of coves to hide in and several large boating events every year. You're within fairly short driving distance to several other good size lakes, as well.
Thanks. Brad.

Hartwell or Murray in SC, Norman in NC, Lanier in GA. Those 3 are on my list of retirement locations. Out on the coast, Emerald Isle NC is still pretty quiet.

Not sure on SC but GA has state income tax. Screw that I'm getting crushed enough and is why we have looked toward east TN. Make sure you find out if the lake has a speed limit, noise limit and able to boat when you want to due to water depth changes. I've seen northern GA lakes down 50+ feet from where ends of docks!

We looked at relocating my biz down to Gainesville and lake Lanier. Ended up buying a new shop local in Syracuse so we didn’t. But we looked all over. TN , FL , NC etc.
lots of nice areas. We seemed that north GA was best bang for buck for realestate with the best boating compared to other southern lakes. If you’re looking to retire , murray is really low key. And plenty of boating to be done
