Have been considering getting a lake house where I can stay to fish on the weekends. Just want to get some advice. Which lake would be the centralmost point? I found a nice little place near Sardis, which is close enough to Enid to drive in the mornin. Are the homes cheaper around any one lake than the others?
All depends on what you want. Fixer upper move in ready yard or no yard. I have seen them from 5,000 to 150,000 around sardis and enid. Heck Atm looked over a yr before he bought. He can give more advice then me.

Sardis or Enid would be my choice. We stay at Sardis and drive to Grenada to fish a lot of times
i know of one for sale at enid now.
Get a camper or motor home.
There is a bunch for sale at Enid...That puts you halfway between Sardis and Grenada.....Google Enid Real Estate then narrow it down to Lake houses or cabins. I have been looking at a lot of them on-line they have pictures of them inside and out.
I spent a good deal of time looking at sardis homes, they seem to be a little high, but some were on the water. I don't mind fixing one up, I just don't want to buy a money pit. Want enough yard to build a boat storage, but don't care to spend all weekend mowing grass
Mr. Jim, as high as diesel is, towing a camper and a boat every other weekend would get so dang expensive, I would have to live in the camper permanently
Mo the one at Grenada fits that bill to a T, just gonna be a little far from Sardis. EZ has the info I think if it is still available.
I have some family that lives right on the lake at grenada... Grenada would be closer to home, but just not the other lakes. Not against it, but have some major decisions to make before I do anything.
There was a nice cabin for sale at Enid a couple weeks ago on North Ms craigslist. Was near Long BranchQuote:

Enid is the most centrally located lake. Puts you smack dab between Sardis and Grenada, and only about an hr from Butla
Thanks for all the input... Time to do some hard core googling
Enid and you don't have to fish anywhere else. Maybe Grenada. When you build a shed put in plenty of outside outlets and level lot so we can park our boats side by side and plug up chargers.:biggrin
I can figure out a cheap parking rental... So I need about 5 acres?
Now you aRe talking MO, 5 acres of "GATED, COVERED, AND ELECTICAL HOOK UP"
We have a place at Enid, and I have seen the cabin for sale near Long Branch.
We found a good yard mower and that has helped, I don't like going down and having to mow.
We like Enid and it does allow us to fish the other lakes without a long pull.
We have done a lot of work on our place this past year. Always something you can be doing, but we do take time off from that to fish.
Good luck in your search, if you end up near Long Branch hollar at me.
I sure will. I fished Enid this past weekend and I like the lake, and some of the smaller surrounding neighborhoods. Think we were at plum point. Love the areas around the lakes and hunted some of the Sardis corp ground Sunday. Beautiful area. If you ever have a minute and can ride out to Sardis waterfowl, check it out. Overlooks hurricane creek, awesome view. Saw 35 deer and heard turkey gobbling...
Is that on the east end of the lake? I love watching the deer.
Mo,Don't come close to Longbranch you may get me in trouble. Us being neighbors may get ugly. Ha
Mo do you want me to call or email you my address so you can send me my key?????:biggrin
I have a place near coles point on Sardis. Had it for 10 years. We like it, the grass mowing is an issue. I have family and friends use it sometimes, just helps to open up and air out. There are several on Sardis Lake drive For Sale.
Some where near Sardis would be my choice!
The real question would be which lake do you feel like you are going to fish the most? That is where I would go

You said a mouhful then South, good advise.Quote:

Have been checking into 5th wheels, since I have the hookup on my truck. Cabin sounds great, but I already have a yard I get to cut every two weeks while I stare at the lake and wish I was on the water
Ask Torch. He takes his camper and spends the weekends a few times a month. He can tell ya what ever you need to know about them.Quote:

Campers are handy and fun. They also depreciate. Buy property, if you can afford to. At your age it would be a very smart investment. You can usually always get your money back and usually more, if willing to wait, when you buy a house.
What Feelay said!!
Best advise given so farQuote:

grenada ! forget the rest . jmo .:HandsClapping
I also bought mine for an investment. If I have to I can sale.
Or buy a cheap lot close to whichever lake you decide, pour a pad for camper and then build a cabin a little at a time! Get best of both worlds
