This is priced above most Aquarius/Deer Lake sold signals, but it is also the larger, more finished option with 5 bedrooms and amenity-community demand. Comparable lakefront WLE homes cluster roughly from the low $600Ks to mid $700Ks unless size/condition is meaningfully better.

Offer strategy
- Fair: $840K–$855K with inspection and proof of chimney repair, dock/swim rights, septic capacity for 5 bedrooms, and WLE fee/rental rules.
- Stretch: $890K–$905K only if highest/best pressure is confirmed and this is the family's clear WLE favorite.
- Avoid getting pulled much over $900K unless the garage/generator/new roof/turn-key condition clearly beat 1096 and 1108 in person.
Red flags / questions for Makayla or listing agent
- Request chimney repair documentation and any prior inspection findings.
- Confirm dock ownership/use, Deer Lake swimming rules, and actual bottom/weed conditions.
- Verify roof age despite listing 'new roof' language in scraped listing detail.
- Ask whether any offers waive inspections or appraisal; do not match those terms casually.
