You are going to have an incredibly hard time on any lake in the US more then likely. Shoreline protection and conservation is a huge consideration if that fact.

There are properties around the lake where you might be able to drive a plan up into the front yard, and I have seen that done. But those properties are few and far between.

I know more then one pilot that flies or flew up to the lake. The consensus always was that it was easier and cheaper to fly into one of the airports.

If I was going to recommend a lake that you might have a real chance to get what you want, it would be lake Champlain..... There are lots of properties that would suite your needs.... now weather you could get a permit to build a hanger that is another issue... Look on Lake Champlain, in the towns of South Hero, North Hero, Grand Isle, and Alburg.... Also look up Northern Lights Airfield, the owner of the Airfield has a wife in Real Estate that might be able to help you out.
