Had a beautiful 1800's style Lake house near the water. Because of Shoreline Protection and other issues, if he was to replace the cottage with a new structure he has to build it back at least 60 feet and to the right. Unfortunately the new owner will not have the view as there are tall trees growing between the new structure and the lake. He is not allowed to clear the trees and he cannot add a patio to the front. Seems like you cannot alter the landscape up to 100 or 150' from the lake.
Needless to say he did not do his homework before buying the property and the property is now back up for sale.

Actually I'm glad he did not tear the old lake house down. I like the looks of the old lake homes far better than the new Adirondacks style.
