Memorial Day Weekend on Table Rock Lake

Table Rock Lake in the Branson MO area

Memorial Day 2014 Table Rock Lake in the Branson, MO area.

Just recently Table Rock Lake was ranked one of the Top Ten Lakes for families in the United States. As a real estate agent who lives here, I am fortunate enough to experience it every day. When looking for real estate clients are always talking about “getting the best view” and that is really important. (I know because after a long hard day at work, I wonder on to the back deck and watch the sunset, while other people are glued to a TV.) Equally important for clients who are considering this as their home, is all the lake opportunities.

Another spectacular weekend on the lake, we had wonderful weather 80 degrees, with some quick rain showers that brought beautiful scenery. Table Rock Lake being a CORE lake keeps it’s natural beauty. The Ozark Mountains are all around you with native wildlife and don’t be surprised to see blue heron’s flying over head, foxes playing on the shore line or deer peaking out of the woods.

We have some of the greatest fishing around with large mouth, small mouth and Kentucky bass, catfish, crappie, walleye, perch and kids favorite blue gill. There is definitely something for everyone and they were out in force this weekend. You can find fishing tournaments almost every weekend for those who like to compete.

Things to think about when purchasing a home with septic system & water wells

Purchasing a home in the Branson area on Table Rock Lake offers you a great lifestyle. Depending on the home you purchase it could involve your first experience with septic systems and water wells. So being prepared and educated and using your real estate professional to help you navigate the purchase will help things go smoothly.

Wells are utilized usually utilized outside the city limits. A well could be community (subdivision), shared (multiple persons) or private (individually owned). The well is cared for by those who are involved. It is important that wells are inspected and maintained on a regular basis to insure for healthy drinking water. Well agreements cover costs, maintenance, etc. For more information on well maintenance and inspection go to Private Ground Water Wells

Just like water wells septic systems are typically used when city services are not available. In Stone County a seller of a home is responsible for obtaining a septic certification. The seller has a qualified septic inspector evaluate the system and ensure the system is in good working condition. If it is not the seller is responsible for making repairs to the system. Not all counties require certification, so I strongly encourage a septic inspection in these counties. Septic systems can be very costly, so it’s very important that it’s in good condition.

Septic System

A septic system can run from $1,000 – 6,000+ or more depending on the type and size of the system. Following are some simple steps to maximize the life span of your system.  To learn more about septic systems go to EPA’s website 

If you would like more information on cost of installation of a septics go to Zillow’s Blog

Learn to compost- It makes sense both for the environment and for your septic to put less waste in it. Only use your garbage disposal when necessary, almost all things put in a disposal can be composted. (And composting is also great for your flower beds) Finally don’t flush non biodegradable materials down your toilets.
2. Newer systems tend to be leach fields. These systems consist of lines that run through your yard. (these systems actually can help water your yard) but it’s important that you don’t plant or dig in that area. A tree root could actually break a line or you could cut it by using a shovel. These are not inexpensive fixes, so just make wise choices on where to plant and garden.

3. Depending on how much you live in your home (full time vs 2nd home), the number of people living in the home and size the system you will need to have it pumped. (Typically every 2-6 years depending on usage) You can hire a professional service to come out once a year to make sure it’s in good working condition and alert you to when it may need to be pumped. If you’d like more information on septics  go to  Stone County Website

Septic systems work well and when maintained can have a long life.
