Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: Lakes of Fairhaven is about space, and in Cypress that is hard to find. Before you fall for a lakefront lot, I would confirm the water and sewer setup, pull the FEMA zone and elevation certificate, and read the deed restrictions on docks, bulkheads and fences.
