But the Sabine River Authority controls the lake and the dock is really their property even though it was built by occupants of the lot. So anyone can fish near the docks and bank. I just always wave and ask if they've caught anything. Most are just looking at your property and thinking how lucky you are to be there!<br />Your lake home sounds wonderful and peaceful!Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633731859029549757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-85511933963897208872010-04-03T22:24:26.387-05:002010-04-03T22:24:26.387-05:00I would not like it much.

Our house is far enough back from the water though that you can't see in. We're also on a hill so if someone from the bank looks up to the house at night, all they can see is the ceiling. <br /><br />Our lake is public & the bank is not private property so we aren't allowed to build docks. Still, there is only one public access so no one can go through private land to get to it. I can't tell people not to get on the bank but I've never seen anyone on our banks from the water in the 20 yrs we've lived here. They just troll their boats along the edge. <br /><br />My solution has been to grow things for privacy without blocking my views. The position of the house helps me more than yours though. <br /><br />Another note, we have had quite a few people drive up & ask if they could fish off our bank or put a boat in. We don't have a boat ramp. Technically, they don't have to ask to fish but they have to ask to cross our property. If they ask, in general we let them. Maybe two times in 20 yrs we've come home to cars parked in our drive where teens have walked through the yard to fish or swim. We let them know they're trespassing without permission.<br /><br />I think it's a negative that you have to live with if you want to live around the public.

We have lake front property also - but only at certain times of the year (chuckle) and then it only DEvalues our property. So keep on enjoying what you've got.<br /><br />Happy Easter and God Bless. <br /><br />Love LenaLena . . .https://www.blogger.com/profile/12668036821461012213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-73314562535644175392010-04-03T08:53:09.242-05:002010-04-03T08:53:09.242-05:00It is the same at the beach.

Can you post a sign on your dock that lets them know that YOU and watching THEM? Or, to politely ask them to respect your home and privacy? Probably not, but I'd be tempted!<br /><br />Happy Easter, my friend,<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-90109619305994332272010-04-03T06:27:23.253-05:002010-04-03T06:27:23.253-05:00I can see where that is a problem, but with all th...I can see where that is a problem, but with all the wonderful things you have mentioned, I think I could learn to live with it too. I have often thought the same sort of thing about beach houses. So often I find myself walking along the beach, and admiring the houses as much as the beach - but I know there are people on the other side of those windows that wish I wouldn't.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077658139465236292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-24900096585358823362010-04-02T22:54:24.862-05:002010-04-02T22:54:24.862-05:00I would not like that at all!

He has said that is their property and has often mentioned about hooks and children swimming. So I do understand what you are saying. I have to tell you that we envy you living on the lake. That is a dream of ours. Enjoy. Happy Easter!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594313154015365616noreply@blogger.com
