Fish Creek is the heart of Door County’s boating culture, offering prime access to the calm waters of Green Bay and the anchorages of Peninsula State Park. But finding a deeded boat slip is one of the toughest challenges in the luxury real estate market. This guide explains why this amenity commands such a high premium and highlights the select developments where the “boat-in, boat-out” lifestyle is possible.
If Door County has a “Gold Coast,” it is Cottage Row. Tucked beneath the limestone bluffs of Fish Creek, this narrow, winding road is home to the peninsula’s most storied estates. Locals call it “Millionaire’s Row,” but the true value here isn’t just money—it is history. Learn all about Fish Creek Cottage Row property history.
For many luxury buyers, the ultimate amenity is not a pool or a clubhouse—it is silence. Owning a home bordering Peninsula State Park gives you a 3,700-acre backyard that will never be developed. This is the gold standard for privacy in Door County. You get the convenience of living in Fish Creek or Ephraim, but your property feels miles away from the crowds. This guide shows you the specific streets and neighborhoods where you can find these rare “park-side” estates.
