Welcome to Noble Lake

Noble Lake is a small, quiet lake in Brighton Township, Livingston County, about 1.1 miles from Brighton and about 17.7 miles from downtown Fenton. My site had one Noble Lake listing in October 2026, and the first button above always shows what's available today.

Lake Overview

• Location: Brighton Township, off Ben Hur Drive, about 1.1 miles north-northeast of Brighton (USGS place-name record) and roughly half a mile south of the Woodland Lake DNR launch (Outdoor Michigan).
• Size: EGLE MiEnviro inland lakes mapping shows about 25 acres; I didn't find a DNR acreage figure.
• Motors: the current listing calls it private, wake-free Noble Lake and lists it as a no-motor lake.
• Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming Noble Lake (Michigan DNR Livingston County watercraft controls).
• Public access: I didn't find a published public boat launch for Noble Lake. Ask me, and we'll confirm what applies to a specific home.
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows only about 7 buildings near the shore.

Living on Noble Lake

With so few homes, Noble Lake feels tucked away even though Brighton is minutes off. The Ben Hur Drive listing talks about fishing right from the yard, plenty of birds and frequent deer sightings. For skiing or a bigger boat, the Woodland Lake launch is close by.

Brighton Township & Schools

Noble Lake is in Brighton Township. The current listing is in Brighton Area Schools, with a private well and a septic system replaced in 2021. I confirm the district and utilities for every address.

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'll check Brighton Township zoning, association rules, and any dock or shoreline rules 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 Noble Lake. Brighton Township took petitions in 2020 for a Ben Hur Farms road-maintenance special assessment (June 2020 township minutes), so ask whether a parcel pays one. I'll confirm any dues or assessments in writing.
• Taxable value generally "uncaps" after a sale (MCL 211.27a), so don't budget off the seller's tax bill.
• On a lake this small, comparable sales are scarce, so we'll lean on nearby lake and in-town sales. The current listing shows both direct frontage and lake privileges, so read the deed.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with privacy, wildlife and the quiet, no-motor water.
• Mention nearby Woodland Lake and downtown Brighton in your listing.
• Have septic, well and permit records ready.
