Looking at a new house which has 400' of lake front property, the listing states someone else owns the majority of the lake and does not allow people on their side. From what I have been told by my realtor is that if you have access to the water on your property then you are able to use the water regardless of where the property lines fall within the water. ( it shows the property line falls roughly 20' into the water)

The first determination is whether it is a private lake or a public freshwater lake.
Private lake in most instances the property lines are enforced as if there was no water.
Public fresh water lakes it is more that once you have access then you do not have to worry about property lines in most instances.
There are also situations where it is regulated by a conservancy or housing association. If you could provide a name or location, I could check with an officer in that are for specifics. Thanks.
