The lakefront tax trap. Waterfront sellers have often owned for decades, so their capped taxable value sits far below half of today's price — which means the year-two uncapped bill jumps further than buyers expect anywhere else. The seller's tax line on the listing is their history, not your future.

The median waterfront sale on Private was $472,500 across 6 closed sales, 2025-08 to 2026-08, with half of sales between $165,000 and $550,000.

Is Private an all-sports lake?

No sale records in this window carried the all-sports flag — confirm the lake's designation with the township.

What happens to property taxes when I buy on Private?

Michigan taxable value uncaps the year after you buy and resets to roughly half the price — and waterfront premiums make the gap between the seller's capped bill and yours larger than on an ordinary street. Run the uncapping calculator before you offer.

Water-body names come from listing records; a lake spanning counties may appear once per county. Medians publish only at 6+ sales.
