Waterfront Land
Land bordering a lake, river, or coastline.
Waterfront land commands a premium over comparable inland parcels, but it also comes with the most regulatory oversight: setbacks, environmental permits, and flood insurance requirements are all more involved than on a typical lot.
Good For
- Buyers seeking a lake or coastal build site
- Investors targeting premium recreational property
Things to Consider
- Riparian or littoral rights vary by state
- Flood insurance is often required by lenders
- Environmental permits may be needed for docks or seawalls
