Blind Lake Homes Dexter MI MI

Pinckney State recreation area surrounds the lake, but there are about 25 lake houses on Blind Lake in Dexter.  There have only been 5 lakefront homes that have sold in the last 14 years.  So there is not much data on the waterfront homes on the lake. The lake lots are not huge.  There are no homes on the lake that sit on property that is over an acre in size. 

There are ranch, contemporary, colonial homes on the lake.  The lakefront homes that sold in the last 14 years range from 1000 square feet to 2500 square feet.  They have three to five bedrooms and one to two and a half bathrooms.  Blind Lake homes were built from the 1930's to present day.  Some of the homes have no garages and others have one and two car garages.  Some built on crawl spaces some have basements.

The lakefront homes are all on wells.  Some have hooked up to sewers but there are a few that are still on septic systems.   

Blind Lake Dexter MI information 

Blind Lake lies in Dexter Michigan in Washtenaw County.  Blind Lake in Washtenaw County is a private all sports lake that is about 63 acres in size.  It's not a huge lake and may not be for people who are active water skiers, wakeboarders, and surfers.  The lake is part of the Half Moon Chain of Lakes but it has a small culvert so pontoons and speed boats cannot get through.  It is more for canoes and kayaks.  Some of the roads around the lake are paved and some streets are gravel.

The deepest part of the lake is 80 feet deep. There is no waterski course on the lake, no condominiums, no public beach on the lake, no marina on the lake.  Nor is there public access unless you are a kayaker or canoer.  There are no wake restrictions and you won't find the sheriff on the lake.  The school districts for the lake is either Chelsea schools or Stockbridge schools depending on where you live on the lake. 

Blind Lake in Dexter MI is at the end of the Halfmoon Chain of lakes.  Some people call it the Patterson Chain of lakes or the Pinckney chain of lakes.  The other lakes on the chain are Watson, Patterson, Hi-land, Half Moon, and Bruin.

 It does connect to the chain of lakes but only through a low cluvert.  So only kayakes, rowboats, and canoes can get to the other lakes.  There are no canals on the lake.  The lake is fed by Portage Creek. 

Most of the land close to the lake (the lakefront land) is private owned though the whole lake is surrounded by Pinckney State Recreation area.  The south end of the lake lakefront is Pinckney State Recreation area so there are no private homes there and it is undeveloped.  Many of the lakes on the chain are the same way.  There are some private homes and there is lakefrontage that is undeveloped because it is state land.  It is almost like up north living with more trees and fewer homes on a lake!

The children either go to Chelsea School system or Stockbridge school system depending on which area of the lake that they live on.

If you have any information about the lake such as the depth, all sports or not, source of the water (is it spring fed?), fishing, or the homes on the lake shoot me an email.  I would greatly appreciate any information you can share.  Or if you have some great photos of the lake or a sunset I would love to put them on the website.  Thanks in advance.  My email is yesmyrealtor@gmail.com

Blind Lake Dexter MI

Do you want a public Michigan lake or a private lake?  A private lake is a lake where the general public cannot put a boat on the lake.  A public lake may have a DNR access point where there are a certain number of parking spots to put boats in.  A public lake may be on a chain of lakes where there may be no public DNR access but the public still has access to the lake because they can get from one lake to the other.  For example that would be the Portage chain of Lakes near Hamburg in Livingston County.

Some lakes have marinas on them like Cass Lake, or Elizabeth Lake.  Elizabeth Lake is considered a private lake but there sure are quite a few boats on it.  The bigger the lake, the more likely that there are going to be a lot of boats on it.  Sometimes home owners will allow their friends to dock their boat at their house.  I have seen homes on lake in Oakland and Livingston County where there are two and three different boats tied up at one dock.  You know that they are not driving two pontoon boats around.

As I tell most lake home buyers....if the lake is a good sized all sports lake it is going to be busy on the weekend.  It is just that way.  Some of the smaller all sports lakes are quieter.  So private or public is a choice you have to make.  Remember if you are just looking at private lakes and cannot find the home you want then you may want to expand your search to public lakes in Southeastern Michigan
