THINGS TO KNOW IF VIEWING PROPERTY
We are a gated community and everyone entering must have a proper gate code and/or vehicle identification tag. If you are wanting to view either homes or property for sale, you must enter with a real estate agent, or property owner. Agents can obtain the gate code from either the listing agent, or owner of the property they are wanting to view.
"Drive-thrus" are not permitted.
BUYING HOMES OR LAND IN HIDDEN LAKE
If you are interested in buying a home or land inside Hidden Lake, please note our yearly POA assessment for 2024 is $675.00 per each lot in the development. Even if you purchase multiple lots that adjoin each other, you will still need to pay an assessment for each lot. If lots were combined into one larger lot, you will still need to pay the assessment based on the original recorded plat for each lot, regardless of how many were combined.
