The Dream Realized in a Competitive Market on Lake Michigan Waterfront Kewaunee

For many buyers in Northeast Wisconsin, the dream is simple: a home on the water with views that stop you in your tracks. For my recent clients—who were relocating from a busy city and yearning for space and solitude—that dream also required a rare level of privacy and perfection.  We found the Lake Michigan Waterfront Kewaunee for them.

We toured one property after another, each offering an incredible waterfront setting, but ultimately requiring too much renovation or lacking the necessary distance from neighbors. The search was a true test of patience, proving that the move-in-ready, private waterfront property is the unicorn of this region.

Then, we found it.

Perched on a serene, private 3+ acre lot along a stunning stretch of State Road 42—the scenic corridor connecting the Kewaunee area to the famed Door County peninsula—sat a modern sanctuary custom-built to maximize the view. This wasn’t just a house; it was a rare find that offered 150 feet of pristine Lake Michigan frontage with an unrivaled sense of seclusion.

The Perfect Fit: Privacy, Views, and Entertainment

As soon as we stepped inside, the deal was sealed. While the stunning vaulted ceilings, rich walnut hardwood floors, and luxury primary suite were breathtaking, the immediate, unobstructed views of Lake Michigan were the ultimate closing factor.

Built in 2018, the home was instantly perfect. It had the airy, open-concept layout my clients needed for entertaining friends and family, featuring a massive 10-foot quartz island and a sunroom enveloped in glass to host any gathering, no matter the season. The primary appeal, however, was the 3-acre private setting—a true retreat from city life.

The combination of features proved irresistible to the market, leading to a competitive multiple offer situation. We are thrilled to announce that we successfully secured the property for our clients, closing over the asking price! It’s a testament to the strength of the market and the enduring value of a flawless, private waterfront home.

The Waterfront Lifestyle: Hiking and Relaxation

The location is a perfect match for my clients’ active and social lifestyle. Beyond the private decks ideal for post-hike sunset cocktails, the surrounding area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts:

• Hiking & Nature: The spectacular Ahnapee State Trail—a flat, crushed-stone path perfect for long hikes, walks, or cycling—is just minutes away. Additionally, the iconic state parks of Southern Door County (like Whitefish Dunes and Cave Point County Park) offer more challenging terrain and dramatic limestone bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan, making them easy day trips.
• Local Dining: The quintessential Wisconsin experience awaits right next door at Gibs on the Lake, a local supper club renowned for its high-quality dining, making an impromptu dinner just a short stroll away.

We extend our deepest congratulations to our clients. After a dedicated search, they have secured not just a house, but a true Lake Michigan legacy where they can finally relax, entertain, and wake up to the most spectacular sunrises Wisconsin has to offer.
