Click here to see one of Apple Valley’s most remarkable and iconic homes on the market built on a lakefront lot. Lots with a view of the lake are in demand and are priced higher than lots without a view.


Lakefront lots with direct access to Apple Valley Lake are also known as prime lots and are always in demand.

What is the average price of a lot in Apple Valley Lake?

The average price of a lot that does not have a lake or water view is around $5,000.

Lakefront lots, on the other hand, sell on an average of $350,000. But as of this writing, we have only one lakefront lot now listed at $99,000. A great find in a cove. 

Lastly, lake view lots and lots with a view of the golf course, sell at an average price of $15,000.

What affects the prices of lots at Apple Valley Lake?

Some factors that affect the price of a lot include the location of the lot, the size of the lot and the slope and topography of the lot. 

A bigger lot has a higher price but if a lot has a special view, such as that of the lake or the golf course, it will be priced much higher than regular lots, even if it is smaller in size.

The slope and topography of a lot describe the shape and relief of the lot’s surface. Is it even? Does it slope upward or downward? This has a direct effect on future construction costs. For instance, a home built on an uneven land will cost a lot more to build than one on even ground. However, the slope and topography of a lot can also inspire homeowners to build creative architectural masterpieces.

Depending on your purpose for investing in a lot in Apple Valley Lake, you might prioritize one factor over another. For example, if you want to build a house on a waterfront lot, you will have to prioritize the location rather than the size and topology. 

On the other hand, if you don’t mind driving to the amenities, would rather build on a bigger lot, and have a lot of space for parties, then you’ll be looking at the size rather than the lot’s location more closely.

Why is a lot in Apple Valley Lake a great investment?

A piece of land is a tangible resource that is easy to purchase. This is especially true in the case of lots in Apple Valley Lake. Lots require very low maintenance and are less expensive than other real estate investments, especially to own over a long period of time. Land ownership requires no additional work from you, leaving you with peace of mind. 

The residential lots in Apple Valley OH can be improved with water and sewer, gas, high-speed internet, and cable, since all utilities are easily accessible. Also, believe it or not, the annual dues start at only $221, per year per lot. All the lots near Apple Valley Lake are residentially zoned and are easily accessible.

Owning a lot gives you the benefit of being able to use the Apple Valley Lake Amenities. I always suggest to folks that if they are not going to build, buy a reasonably priced lot to be able to use the amenities. If you want to build, your investment will depend on your budget and desired location.

Just a caveat, not all lots are considered buildable. It is important to check with an agent or title company to know for sure if the lot you are looking to purchase is buildable. We can help you with this.Read more about Apple Valley Lake

How do you find a lot in Apple Valley Lake?

With the use of technology, it's fairly easy to find a lot in Apple Valley Lake. But first, you’ll need an important detail: the lot parcel number. Contact Toth and Team for a detailed list of the lots currently on the market.
