Homes with a Boat Dock or Boat Lift

If the boat is the whole point, start here. This page lists homes for sale where the listing agent marked a private dock, boat lift, boathouse or boat ramp, across Lake Guntersville, Wheeler Lake, the Tennessee River near Huntsville, Weiss Lake and the Shoals lakes.

A dock adds real value, and it also adds homework. On the TVA lakes (Guntersville, Wheeler, Wilson and Pickwick), every dock and boathouse needs a TVA Section 26a permit, and the permit does not move to you automatically when you buy. On Weiss Lake, Alabama Power issues the shoreline permits. We pull the permit history before you make an offer.

What we check on a dock home

  • Permit history, and whether the dock was built the way it was approved.
  • Water depth at the dock, including the winter drawdown, which is larger on Wheeler than on Guntersville.
  • Condition of the decking, pilings, lift motor and electrical service.
  • Who owns the strip of shoreline between the lot and the water.
