OP, be sure you do your due diligence for any lot on a body of water that is NOT a golf course. In general you do not own or control the land up to the water. In general you are not allowed to do any maintenance, trimming, etc., in the area near the water. What this means is that if an invasive plant takes up residence or weeds or trees, your view may be history. There have been a few stories on this site where just this happened. Also, the refuge or preserve areas have even more restrictions as these are under the control of the water district. Good luck with your search.
