Splurge vs. Steal: Lake of the Ozarks Homes Under $1 Million

Share News:

Missouri’s claim to fame is Lake of the Ozarks and we are seeing what we can get for under $1 million, right on the water. Our latest Splurge vs. Steal looks at two waterfront homes, each with a great location and space to dock your boat, but with price points that are miles apart. Which would you choose, the sprawling two-story splurge or the family-friendly waterfront steal?

Splurge: Sprawling Two-Story With Impressive Lake Views For $829.9K 

This lake home is teeming with possibility! It sits right on the water and affords two levels of indoor-outdoor entertaining. The five-bedroom, three-full-and-two-half-bathroom home offers 3,670 square feet, with light and airy interiors that are move-in ready. However, those grand double decks are what caught our eye. Soak up the sun and catch those water views from a number of spaces throughout. According to the listing, “Both upper and lower east-facing decks are screened, adding shaded space for a prime view of the lake without the heat and glare of the afternoon sun.” Other highlights include an effortless floorplan, main level master, and an updated gourmet kitchen.

Steal: Family-Friendly Waterfront Gem With Community Amenities For $570K

 

For much less than our splurge you could own this pristine lake home in a community with loads of amenities. It’s right on the water and has access to a number of swimming pools, a clubhouse, playgrounds, and tennis. There’s a total of four bedrooms, plus three-full-and-one-half-bathrooms to host a crowd. In addition, the description says it’s “Conveniently located on the 12MM so you are close to countless restaurants and attractions by water and road. The three-well concrete dock is approximately 2,000 square feet offering the perfect spot to house your boat.

Premier Lake Properties with RE/MAX Lake of the Ozarks has listed 552 Eagle Drive, Four Seasons, Missouri for $570,000.
