Location is another subjective measure, downtown holds more value for some while others would prefer the tranquility of Bragg Creek. 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).
