Atlantis Island Condominiums, Lake Of The Ozarks, Overview

The Lake of The Ozarks, in central Missouri is easily within driving distance of Chicago, Dallas, Des Moines, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Little Rock, Louisville, Memphis, Omaha, Oklahoma City, and St Louis. The main channel of the Osage Arm stretches 92 miles from end to end and creates over 1,100 miles of shoreline. This gives the area more shoreline than California’s Pacific Coast. The region draws more than 3 million visitors annually and is the most affordable luxury playground in the country.

The Lake of The Ozarks was formed in 1931 after the completion of the historic Bagnell Dam. Though built to provide hydroelectric power, the resulting lake quickly became a significant tourist destination and resort area. Most of the shoreline on the Lake of the Ozarks is privately owned, and the relatively stable surface elevation has created ideal conditions for private development within a few feet of the shoreline.

The most unique real estate property at The Lake Of The Ozarks, is Atlantis Island. Located at the 3.5 mile marker, the island will have 230 units in 8 buildings that encircle the island. The centerpiece of the island is the wonderful zero entry pool which is adorned with columns and Romanesque hand painted murals. Around the perimeter of the island and above the seawall is a promenade. Measuring half a mile, it will be a great place to go for a jog or take in the vistas of one of the biggest channels on the lake. With 330 docks, including deep water docks, there will be plenty of dock space around the Island for you to dock your favorite vessel. Atlantis Island Condos are already more than “another condo complex”, it is a community of wonderful people from all walks of life, who gather around the fire pit on the Piazza to socialize and enjoy the views.
