Welcome to Case Lake

Case Lake is a small, quiet lake in Mundy Township, about seven miles north of downtown Fenton on the way toward Flint and Grand Blanc. The buttons above show Case Lake homes for sale right now.

Lake Overview

• Location: Mundy Township, Genesee County, about 7.1 miles from downtown Fenton.
• Size: about 26 acres (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA).
• Dam: the lake is held by a 14-foot dam listed as Burroughs Reservoir Dam, also called Case Lake Dam, with a private owner (National Inventory of Dams).
• Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming Case Lake (Michigan DNR Genesee County watercraft controls).
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 19 buildings near the shore.
• Public access: I didn't find a published public boat launch for Case Lake. Ask me, and we'll confirm what applies to a specific home.

Living on Case Lake

Case Lake suits buyers who want quiet water and elbow room without giving up an easy drive to Flint, Grand Blanc or Fenton. The current listing on Creekwood Lake Trail sits on about 13.31 acres with Case Lake frontage (Creekwood Lake Trail listing).

Mundy Township & Schools

Case Lake is in Mundy Township. The township is split among the Carman-Ainsworth, Swartz Creek, Lake Fenton and Grand Blanc school districts (Wikipedia). The current Case Lake listing has a Grand Blanc mailing address and shows Lake Fenton Community Schools, a septic system and a private well (Creekwood Lake Trail listing). I confirm the district and utilities for every home. See my Grand Blanc community page for more.

Tips for Buyers

• Understand riparian rights. Michigan waterfront ("riparian") owners generally have rights to dock and reach the water (EGLE inland lakes guide). "Lake privileges" or a shared lot is different, so read the deed and any easement.
• Know the local rules. I didn't find a Mundy Township dock or lake-access ordinance, so I'll check township zoning for the specific parcel.
• Seawalls and permanent docks generally need an EGLE permit, while seasonal docks usually don't (EGLE dock handout). Ask for permit records.
• Confirm sewer or septic and well, and schedule inspections for any private system.
• Check the address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and get a flood insurance quote early.
• I didn't find a published lake association or lake special assessment for Case Lake. I'll confirm any dues or assessments on the parcel in writing.
• Taxable value generally "uncaps" after a sale (MCL 211.27a), so don't budget off the seller's tax bill.
• Because the lake is held by a privately owned dam, ask who maintains it and whether any shared cost comes with the home. I'll get that answer in writing.
• With a septic system, plan a septic inspection and ask for pumping records.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with privacy, acreage and quiet water.
• Document your frontage, dock and water depth at the shore.
• Have septic, well and any dam-maintenance records ready.
