I was checking out real estate at Lake Lanier and was traveling up to Wilmington, NC to see a friend. Noticed LAke Murray on the atlas and decided to check it out Tuesday afternoon. Visited a realtor and started checking some homes on the lake..WOW, I like! The only thing I've noticed the water is down quite a bit. Is this normal?
I saw a new home in Batesville-Saluda county that really caught my attention. I have alot of questions and dont know where to begin. If I gave the location of the cove can anyone tell me how deep it is? How big (acres) is the lake? Can someone refer me to a dock builder for an estimate and will hydro-hoist's work? Just a few questions I can think of but any info would really help.

2.) The lake is coming back up after some major repairs to the dam.
3.) Jack Wessinger is the man to call about a dock. I can find his number if you would like. Hydro-hoists are allowed and work well.
4.) The lake is 50,000 acres
5.) Many many many beers are consumed on the lake every year, and the DNR patrols are pretty reasonable in my opinion.
Let me know if I can help. I have access to the multiple listing service and can help with your search if you would like.

Another thing you need to think about is schools if you have kids because there is a difference. If you don't have kids then it's not a big deal.
Like Phantom said the lake is down but coming back up. When you were here the lake was probably at or a tad above where it normally is in the winter. It is generally dropped some in the winter but then back up to full.
As for docks the first thing to do is find out exactly what it is permitted for first. If it is not permitted for a hydro hoist make sure you make that a stipulation in any contract, "Seller must have approval from SCE&G for (specify what you want in a dock)". Then the seller will go through all of the trouble to get you what you want and it will save you some headaches down the road. Once you have the approval you are good to go.
The one great thing about Lake Murray as opposed to a lot of the other lakes I have been on is the marinas with restaurants and bars. There are places to hang out during the day no matter what mood you are in.
If you have any questions I would be more than happy to help. As far as knowing how deep the cove is that would be a tough one without actually seeing it. If it has good water now...it will only get better.

Re: lAKE MURRAY CHECK IN CALL
Look at the picture below and it will help you realize how far the lake is down.
This is a picture of my dock that was taken just now. The water, when the lake is full, comes all the way up the boat ramp to within 10' of the end of the walkway. The sitting area you see will have water all the way up under it (covering the poles). It will be between 12-14 ft deep off of my floater and about 6' deep under the sitting area.
