Garner Lake (the big lake in Lakeland)
The wife and I are starting to look for our forever home. I had sworn off living in Shelby County. Want about 10-15 acres in Fayette. However, we drove thru there and looked at a few for sale this past weekend and now I am starting to like the idea of buying a house on the water, getting a pontoon boat, and enjoying the fishing, calm quiet nights, etc. Many of the houses are amazing. Sitting in a cozy finished out basement with all glass windows overlooking a 250 acre lake seems very relaxing.
Anyone here live over there? If so, any words of wisdom to share?

We have family that live on the lake out there, & they love it. I have no idea about association rates, etc., but I know there is a "Garner Lake Association."

I really like the idea of living on the lake. My wife wants to move further out and build a house on about 5-10 acres. So after talking some more, it looks as though we've compromised and decided to pursue building a house on some land in Fayette County.

There's a bunch of people from the board who live out here, let us know when you move and we will let you cook us dinner. What part of the county are you considering?
