The same goes for size of house, size of yard etc. I'd rather have a small yard than a big yard, and a compact home than a sprawling one. Each of these things requires personal desires to be called upon in determining it's value, which makes it quite obviously a subjective measure.

A lake would be one of many attributes in which value could/or couldn't be derived from. To say that lakes don't add objective value, would not be true. The fact that at least two people(in this thread) have moved to a community because of the existence of a lake, and a few people wouldn't move to a community because of the lake, would be proof of objective or intrinsic value (how ever you want to describe it).
