Welcome to McKane Lake

McKane Lake is an Argentine Township lake about nine miles from downtown Fenton, with Byron as the nearest town. A current listing calls it an all-sports lake, and today's listings include across-the-road water frontage. The buttons above show McKane Lake homes for sale right now.

Lake Overview

Location: Argentine Township, Genesee County, about 9.2 miles from downtown Fenton; Byron is the nearest town.
Size: about 68 acres (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA).
Boating: a current listing calls it "all sports McKane Lake" (Murray Rd listing). I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming McKane Lake.
Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 102 buildings near the shore.
Public access: I didn't find a published public boat launch for McKane Lake. Ask me, and we'll confirm what applies to a specific home.

Living on McKane Lake

McKane Lake fits buyers who want an all-sports lake on the Byron side of Argentine Township. Both current listings are on Murray Road and list across-the-road water frontage (Murray Road listing), so it pays to know exactly what frontage comes with a home. Byron, Linden and downtown Fenton are all a reasonable drive.

Argentine Township & Schools

McKane Lake is in Argentine Township. Argentine Township addresses can carry Linden, Byron, Gaines or Montrose ZIP codes (Wikipedia). Both current McKane Lake listings show Byron Area Schools and public sewer with a private well (Murray Road listing). Districts and utilities vary by address, so I confirm both for every home before you write an offer.

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 township dock rules. Argentine Township limits docks to 200 square feet and 50 feet long per buildable lot with riparian frontage, set at least 5 feet from the property line (Ordinance 46).
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 McKane 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.
Check how the frontage is deeded. One current listing says a second parcel number is included in the sale (Murray Rd listing), so we'll name every parcel in your offer.

Tips for Sellers

Lead with all-sports boating, and be clear about your frontage.
If your waterfront is across the road, have the deed and both parcel numbers ready.
Have sewer and well records ready.
