Quiet Luxury, Comfort & Timeless Elegance

Nestled on 13 private acres bordering Lapham Peak State Park, this retreat offers peace, privacy, and timeless beauty just one mile from I-94 and only 25 miles from downtown Milwaukee. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Wisconsin’s Lake Country, the property balances natural serenity with everyday convenience. Exceptional in location and design, it offers sweeping private views of nature and the vast expanse of the State Park making this home a rare find.

As you approach the front entry, a canopy of mature trees sets the tone of quiet seclusion, opening to a residence rich in charm. Inside, a welcoming foyer reveals Brazilian cherry wood floors, crisp white trim, and finely crafted cherry woodwork that creates a timeless warmth.

Designed by architect Peter Schuyler with a keen eye for light and flow, the four-bedroom stone and stucco home features generous windows that bathe the interiors in natural light while framing gardens, woodlands, and the surrounding landscape. The spacious living room opens to a patio overlooking a tranquil pond, marshland, and oak savannah. The dining room, which seats twelve, shares this serene view. A family room with a raised beamed ceiling is centered around a fireplace with Delft-blue tiles, hand-selected in the Netherlands.

The heart of the home is the kitchen and dining area, featuring granite counters, an English slate-topped island, and premium appliances by Wolf, Bosch, and Sub-Zero. 
The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with an adjacent private office crowned by a coffered ceiling. Its soaring bedroom ceilings are anchored by a 130-year-old marble fireplace with a sculpted bronze cover plate a historic piece once housed in 
the Chicago Embroidery Company, adding legacy and character.

The exposed walkout lower level offers flexibility with a spacious bedroom, a bunk room perfect for children, a full bath, and a large gathering room warmed by a stone fireplace. Expansive windows here continue to frame the surrounding natural beauty, making this space ideal for family living or entertaining.

History graces the land as well. Low stone fences, remnants of the original 40-acre farmstead, still trace the property’s borders. The cream city brick farmhouse built in 1884 still remains. There are three outbuildings constructed from reclaimed Wisconsin farm beams and logs now serving as sheep barns and an equipment shed.

Here, early morning fog drifts across the pond, the harvest moon lights the pastures, and woodland trails invite exploration by foot or ATV.

This peaceful sanctuary is a nature lover’s dream and a private haven a rare opportunity where elegance, comfort, and natural beauty come perfectly together.
