Ep 11. Paddling Toward A Forever Home

Paddling Toward A Forever Home is the eleventh episode of the tenth season of the popular real estate show, Lakefront Bargain Hunt. In this episode, viewers meet a couple who are eager to buy their very first lakefront home in upstate New York.

The couple, who are avid kayakers and water sports enthusiasts, are looking for a property that will not only provide a beautiful view of the lake, but also easy access to the water. They have a budget of around $350,000, and are hopeful that they can find the perfect home without breaking the bank.

The episode begins with the couple meeting their real estate agent, who takes them on a tour of several different properties in the area. The first property they visit is a charming cottage with a stunning view of the water. While the inside of the home is relatively small, the couple is pleased to find that there is a large deck overlooking the lake where they could spend most of their time. They are also excited to see that there is a dock with direct access to the water, which is exactly what they were looking for in a lakefront property. However, despite loving the location and the view, they quickly realize that the house needs significant upgrades and repairs, which would eat up a significant portion of their budget.

Next, the couple visits a larger home that is slightly over their budget at $375,000. The house has a modern, open floor plan with large windows that let in plenty of light and provide another gorgeous view of the lake. The property also features a large outdoor patio with a fire pit and enough space for the couple's kayaks and other water sports equipment. While they love the house and the location, the higher price tag would require them to make sacrifices in other areas of their lives, and they are not sure if they are willing to do that.

Finally, the couple visits a charming, rustic cabin that is priced within their budget at $325,000. The cabin has a cozy, secluded feel, and is located on a quiet cove with calm waters that are perfect for kayaking. The property includes a dock, as well as a small beach area where they could relax and enjoy the sun. The inside of the cabin is relatively small, but the couple loves the idea of a cozy retreat where they can get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a sense of the couple's personalities and lifestyle. They are clearly passionate about kayaking and other water sports, and they are looking for a property that will allow them to pursue those hobbies. They also mention their desire to have a property that can serve as a gathering place for friends and family, where they can enjoy barbecues and other outdoor activities.

In the end, the couple must weigh their options and decide which property is the best fit for their needs and budget. While each property has its pros and cons, there is one that stands out as the clear winner for the couple. Viewers will have to tune in to find out which one they choose!
