Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 Anyone want to buy a nice house with a private ski lake? This one is above my budget, but a guy can dream: Ski lake for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 Think you can add a few houses? That might make it more affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Stevie Boy Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 Looks real Kewl, but my wife, does not drive the boat, spend my days looking at glass, so will have to give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller keithh2oskier Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 I skied there a number of years back. There wasn't much room besides what you see. I think it would be near impossible to host a tournament to even have enough parking for that many people. That being said, its a pretty sweet property and I wouldn't mind owning it since its a short 15-20 min commute from my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 I've always wanted to live around there. Near the mountains, nice lakes, the river, Bay area and not to far for a day trip too the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rodltg2 Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 Not a bad price considering what you get. In 1.5 mil Bay Area that would get you a shack. I've flown over and driven past it but never been there. If one could sell memberships or run a ski school that would defiantly help offset the cost. Of course you need the cheddar to get in there first ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jimbrake Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 I used to ski there quite a bit and was friends through friends with the family. Nice setup, nice dock. Lake skis well, but needs some weed maintenance. Very good wind protection. Don't think they ever used any dye or other water treatment. Good bass fishing. Grounds and the house are as they appear - updated home and nicely maintained. Lots of amenities as shown in the video. VB sand court is legit. Pool is big. Lots of lawn to maintain. Plenty of working space/storage in a shop/barn, too. Great family home with lots of space and stuff for the kids. It's out in the rice fields, but only a short 5 - 10 min drive to town (Lincoln, which is nice small town) and maybe 15 - 20 minutes to more shopping and big box stores than you can shake a stick at in Rocklin/Roseville. 1.5+ hours to Truckee/Tahoe. 2+ hours back to the bay depending. 3 hrs to the coast depending. Local wine country is good and 10 minutes away. Napa/Sonoma wine country is 1.5 hours. Good pheasant hunting on the road out front, too. For what you get and considering it's Northern California (I know a lot of you don't care about that, don't get it, don't want to, that's OK), I think 1.5 mil is a surprisingly good deal.

Baller oldjeep Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 Seems cheap. 1.5 million will just barely get you a nice house that size on a small lot on one of the bigger public lakes around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted October 17, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 How much annual cost would there be to maintain a place like this? I assume the like level is maintained by pumping from a well, so electricity cost along with water and shoreline maintenance. Then overall grounds maintenance. Any educated guesses?

Baller ski6jones Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 Property taxes would be ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted October 17, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 Well, apparently somebody thought this was a good deal and had the necessary funding, because the sale is now "pending" -- an offer has been accepted. Will be interesting to see if it is kept private or if they make a new ski club. Or maybe a ski school like someone suggested earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeprunc Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Skied there a few times too...The course isn't always set up, and there are no magnets. You can rent it on VRBO for a lot less that $1.5mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jimbrake Posted October 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 @TallSkinnyGuy - maintenance cost - high to quite high unless you are retired and that's how you have fun. Also, unless the arrangement has changed, they have an allotment from the local irrigation district - canal water, which is good stuff. I don't know if they ever had difficulty making it through the year on their allotment. I haven't skied there since the early 2000s. Also, to your point about whether it is kept private or if they make a new ski club - how much you want to bet a non-skier buys it and uses the lake for either fishing, looking at, or nothing? I wouldn't be surprised in the least. @MS - dude. Whatthe____ever. I'm sure your wonderful, flat, cold, wet state has it all completely dialed. Amiright?

Baller jimbrake Posted October 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2016 @Texas6 - ? Not sure if you are referring specifically to equity or something else. Equity might be decent as they bought/built in the early '90s. They did put a lot into it, though, for sure. "He" might not even be involved anymore after the split which was several years ago. I hope the buyer is a skier, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted October 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2016 I am referring purely to the cost to build excavate, plant trees, etc etc. versus the asking price. I think many would be shocked by how much just excavation costs, before you do anything else. That's a good deal is what I'm saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paco Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Anyone check out the estimated monthly payment on a 30yr loan?!?! $7500 bucks a month!

Baller LakeOneSkier Posted October 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2016 Just for reference... and not that there is any correlation or logic in Northern CA real estate... but in 2002 excavation costs for a ski lake within 10 miles of this one was $125k, and cost of the 40 acres of land was $230k.

Baller Texas6 Posted October 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2016 That's a heck of a deal on digging a lake. I've heard numbers commonly in he 500k range of excavating, grading, etc. Perhaps moving clay in Texas is far more expensive than digging whatever you Californians have in the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimbrake Posted October 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2016 We gots: clay, silt, sand, gravel, cobbles, boulders, diatomaceous earth, mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, boulder conglomerate, glacial till, metasedimentary including limestone and marble, metavolcanics, volcanic tuff, basalt (massive and columnar), chert, granite, diorite, rhyolite, andesite, dacite, and naturally occurring asbestos and arsenic. We got riots, and fires, and mudslides. We got sushi in the mall. Bonus points if you know where the last two lines come from. All you got is clay?

Baller Hallpass Posted October 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 20, 2016 If you are not from California, or New York City, it is probably a challenge to appreciate what a good deal this is. I grew up in a 1700 square foot home in Norcal. It is waterfront, and certainly not a private lake. It is salt water. Probably, 8000 square feet of property. Current value probably $1.3M. Some said the property taxes will kill you on this site. The actual property tax on that property is not the issue = $15.2K per year. It is the bullsh-- bonds, special assessments, etc. which get you. That's not to mention close to 10% state income tax on pretty much anyone that can afford this property, and 8 to 9% sales tax in our state.

Baller MrJones Posted October 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 20, 2016 I agree on the thought that this is a good deal for someone. Buying land and digging a hole is just the start. That place has a lot of money and time poured into it. I can't imagine that 1.5 mil is really making the seller a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
