Ep 13. Getting Away on Lake Greenwood

In Lakefront Bargain Hunt Season 8 Episode 13, viewers follow two couples as they search for their dream lake house on Lake Greenwood in South Carolina. The first couple, Stephanie and Alan, are looking for a retirement home where they can relax and enjoy the lake scenery. They have a budget of $350,000 and want to find a house that has a large, open living area for entertaining and a boat dock for their pontoon. They also want to have enough space for their children and grandchildren to visit.

The second couple, Josh and Amber, have a budget of $200,000 and are looking for a weekend getaway to escape their busy lives in Atlanta. They want a cozy cabin that is close to the water and has a nice view of the lake. Josh is an avid fisherman, so having a fishing dock or easy access to good fishing spots is important to him.

The episode begins with Stephanie and Alan meeting their real estate agent, Tammy, at a stunning lakefront property. The house has a large deck that overlooks the water and a boat dock for their pontoon. The inside of the house is spacious and has a modern, open floor plan. While they love the house, Stephanie and Alan are hesitant about the price tag, which is slightly over their budget.

Next, the couple looks at a fixer-upper property with their agent. While the house needs a lot of work, Stephanie and Alan love the idea of being able to personalize the home to their liking. They also like the idea of saving money by doing some of the renovations themselves. However, they ultimately decide that the property requires too much work and might not be worth the effort.

Meanwhile, Josh and Amber meet their agent, Debbie, and head out to view a rustic cabin on the lake. The cabin has a screened-in porch with a beautiful view of the water and a private dock for fishing. Josh is ecstatic about the fishing potential and can picture himself spending long, lazy afternoons on the dock. However, Amber is not as impressed with the cabin's outdated decor and small living space.

Next, the couple looks at a newly renovated house that has a modern, open living area and stunning views of the lake. While this house is over their budget, Josh and Amber are willing to consider it because of its great location and updated design. They also appreciate that the house is move-in ready, which would save them time and money on renovations.

Stephanie and Alan's last stop is a property that checks off all of their must-haves. The house has a large, open living area and a dock big enough to accommodate their pontoon. Plus, it's in their price range. Stephanie and Alan both agree that this property is the best option for them and decide to put in an offer.

Josh and Amber's final viewing is a quaint cottage that is right on the water. The cottage has a cozy, cabin-like feel and a private dock for fishing. While it is small and requires some updating, Josh and Amber can envision themselves spending weekends relaxing by the lake. They put in an offer on the cottage and hope that it will be accepted.

Overall, both couples face challenges in finding their perfect lakefront homes, but with the help of their agents, they are able to find properties that meet their needs and budgets. The episode showcases the beauty of Lake Greenwood and the variety of lakefront properties available in the area.
