Flatwater Community News
We have heard many good ideas and
concerns about Boat Rules and Restrictive
Covenants for the Flatwater community. We
are in the process of having both documents
updated soon. One example is allowing
longer docks on lots with the exception of the
two narrow areas. The bridge will open in
late 2022 or early 2023.
Outboard engines max 250 HP. Maximum boat
and jet ski speed 40 MPH.
The bridge connection on West Valley Street
to connect both Flatwater Lake and Flatwater
Lake Estates will be across from Lots 29
through 31—giving the lake neighborhood an
additional 140 acres of lake.
We may bring a brand new dredge back to
deepen a few high spots. Potentially deepen
FWL in areas that are only 20’ deep. This
brand new dredge can dredge 30’ deep.
FWL lots are beginning to look like a bargain
in today’s market. Prices will be adjusted up.
Many folks are figuring out that a brand new
home in FWL is a bargain compared to
buying a 30- to 50-year-old home on many of
the older lakes and then investing as much
as $200,000 or more to remodel or add an
addition.

Infrastructure Progress
We are in the planning stages for a
restaurant with conceptual renderings
hopefully available in the spring of 2022.
We are working with different designers to
create family fun spaces throughout the
community and we are excited to share
those details when we have more
information.

Lake Living is like being on vacation
all year round. There is a theory
called "Blue Mind" which is the
relationship our body and mind has
with water. It is a state when our
body and soul feel more relaxed near
water which reduces stress.

Congratulations to Flatwater
Lake owners on making a
great investment for you and
your family. You had the
foresight to get involved early
with Flatwater Lake which
continues to increase in value
with this historic real estate
market. Approximately half
of the lots are sold and
several houses are being built
including 7 Street of Dreams
homes for 2021 this fall.
Flatwater Lake Estates is
under way and will include
amenities such as Food, Gas
and Recreation which should
increase the value of your
property even more.
According to Rocket
Mortgage: Lakefront
Property Is Generally A
Good Investment. There
are only so many lake homes
available, and this level of
scarcity combined with high
demand can make lake
property or lakefront real
estate a wise investment.
Many people choose beach or
lakefront homes as second
homes and are therefore
thinking of it as both an
investment and a getaway.
If you have not invested inFlatwater Lake, please comeout and see the progress andselect your lot before they aregone. I would be happy togive you a boat ride so youget the lakeside perspective.
