Are you hoping to make the water part of your everyday life?

LIFE ON LAKE SHAFER
Find the Lake Lifestyle You’re Looking For
Part of finding the right waterfront home is finding the right waterway.
Lake Shafer is one of the Twin Lakes near Monticello, known for a lake lifestyle centered around boating, water recreation, and time spent outdoors. Indiana Beach sits along the lake, offering more family fun and nearby activities.
Even on the same lake, one property can feel very different from another.
Some want easy access to boating and water activities, while others want a quieter spot, more outdoor space, a special view, or a peaceful place to relax by the lake.
Before you focus on the house itself, consider the kind of life you want on Lake Shafer.

Buying on Lake Shafer
Look at the Home & the Waterfront That Comes with It
When you find a Lake Shafer home you like, remember to look beyond the views and the inside of the house.
The shoreline and waterfront features are also important parts of the property. Depending on the home, you should get more information about things like:
- Shoreline condition and any seawall or retaining structures
- Existing docks, piers, or boat lifts
- How the property accesses the water
- Documentation for waterfront improvements
- Water depth and characteristics near the property
- Flood insurance options
- Water, sewer, and other utilities
- Shoreline structures or improvement requirements
Not every question will matter for every Lake Shafer property. We’ll help you figure out what needs a closer look and when to check with an inspector, lender, insurance agent, contractor, or other experts.
Lake Shafer Waterfront Features
Know What Comes with the Shoreline
A dock, boat lift, seawall, or other waterfront feature can be part of what draws you to a Lake Shafer home. These features can also raise extra questions.
Before you buy, make sure you know which features come with the property, what shape they’re in, what paperwork is available, and what rules apply to maintaining or changing waterfront structures.
Lake Shafer and neighboring Lake Freeman are associated with the Shafer & Freeman Lakes Environmental Conservation Corporation (SFLECC), which manages shorefronts and construction for the Twin Lakes. Confirm property-specific requirements with SFLECC and other appropriate authorities before relying on assumptions about what you can install or change.
Your real estate agent can help you know what questions to ask and guide you to the right resources if you need expert advice.
Selling on Lake Shafer
Show Buyers What Makes Your Lake Shafer Home Stand Out
When you’re selling a home on Lake Shafer, remember that buyers are looking at more than just the house.
The water view, shoreline, outdoor spaces, dock, and how the home connects to the lake all help buyers see what makes your property special.
Before you list your home, it helps to gather any information you have about the waterfront side, like records for docks, shoreline work, utilities, surveys, or other important features.
Brandi’s background in interior design brings a fresh perspective when getting a waterfront home ready to sell. We’ll help you consider how your home looks inside and out, and how photos and staging can highlight the connection between your living spaces and the lake.
