[gallery]Grand Lake in NE Oklahoma is known for many fine waterfront homes. Most are scattered around the lake in different areas but not in a true subdivision. There are a few fine gated communities however including The Coves and The Points on South Grand Lake. In Grove, a new gated development called The Preserve is just getting started. On Monkey Island, The Chateaus, may offer the ultimate Grand Lake home ownership experience. This gated community of about 46 homes are of timeless design, all are real native stone exterior and huge beams. The Chateaus have 24 hour by 7 day week security and a full time manager. This truly makes for a hassle free ownership experience. The grounds are maintained by the full time grounds crew with all homes having many fine old trees with dogwoods scattered underneath. All homes have terrific lakeviews. You do not look out at boat dock roofs as the covants of the association allow only day or flat docks thus the view is not blocked. There is a nearby marina you can golf cart to for your boat.

The homes were built with strength and quality all the way in the early 80’s. Over the past few years many have sold and been extensively remodeled by new owners. Two such homes in the past year sold for well over 1 million dollars and had as much spent redoing the interior of the homes. You can however, buy homes with 2900-5000 sq ft in updated condition and ready for your enjoyment from $550,000. If you work hard and want the ultimate lake ownership experience, think about The Chateaus on Monkey Island at Grand Lake. There are usually 4-5 homes available for sale, but don’t wait too long if you want the best choice.
