It isn’t often that you find a real estate bargain on a body of water. However, certain times of year are better than others. If you purchase a property in September, don’t expect to be using it until next year. In NY State, a closing will take from 45-60 days. Even with a cash deal, the time that it takes to complete the search, survey, and title work is significant. If you add to that the time that it takes for the lawyers to work you into their schedule, you will understand why it can take so long.
In any event, if you are seeking a lake bargain, this might be the time of year. Many who have decided to sell will plan to list and sell at the end of the useful summer season.
The following is located 7 doors in from the lake on a canal. The township is North Harmony. According to the real estate listing, the cottage “needs work”. Many would call this a handyman special. I am always a bit concerned when there are no interior photos of the property. When purchasing something like this, you might want to expect it to require a cash deal.
To my eye, the exterior looks nice. The location on the water is a huge plus and at $79,999 (as of 08/30/2011) you won’t find many properties at a lower price with water frontage. The benefit of the canal front properties is the ability to tie your boat up in your back yard.

Lake Chautauqua fixer cottage - Handyman Special
You won’t often hear me talking about a “bargain” at $287,000, but the square footage and location of this home justify that label.
This house is located in a cul-de-sac in the Windsor Ridge subdivision, was built in 1995, and has more than 3,000 square feet. To build a comparable home in Windsor Ridge would likely cost you more than $370,000. There are many negatives to buying a home that is 15 years old, but the positives probably outweight those factors. The primary thing that I would tell anyone purchasing this home is to set aside 10k for repairs in the next 2-3 years. You never know when the furnace, A/C, or hot water tank will decide to fail.
One MAJOR big ticket item that was already completed is the roof. After 15 years a roof is nearing the end of its useful life. This item is already taken care of.
- Concrete driveway
- Attached deck
- Rear awning
- Cul-de-sac location
- Glamour bath

UPDATE: As of July 27, 2011, This cottage appears to be under contract. Based on the listing date and the date that the listing dropped from the MLS, there was very likely an offer and contract in the first day or two.
Feels like I have been spending far too much time focusing on real estate, cottages in particular, and not much on the DIY aspect of the Handyman. However, there are a few things you can do when you don’t have a location to apply your handyman muscle.
Lake Cottage in Irving
As I mentioned earlier, we are under contract for a lakefront cottage. Because of that, I spend a few minutes each morning browsing the new listings with Lake Rights / Lake Access in the Chautauqua region. I have been surprised at the number of listings that pop up at this time of the year. My expectation was that the bulk of new listings would show up at the end of the season, however, it appears that those ready to sell are probably selling to get the most access our of this season on the lake. By selling now, they won’t close until September / October. Ideal for many.
Here is another lake bargain. This cottage is very attractive and has the style that most would want in a cottage. Small, but big enough to accommodate vacationers. The cottage is located in a very nice Lake Erie community called Hanford Bay.
As of this writing (7/18/2011), this cottage is listed at $99,000.
