Wisconsin — South Lake Shore Drive, $13.9 Million
While you may not immediately think of Wisconsin as a place to vacation, Lake Geneva in the state’s southeastern corner is considered something of a resort town, drawing the well-heeled from Chicago and other Midwestern cities to their lake houses every year. And this particular lake house at South Lake Shore Drive goes big. Set on 3.5 acres and with 210 feet of prime lake frontage, it’s an idyllic place to enjoy the picturesque scenery in complete privacy. The 12-bedroom, 10-bathroom home has plenty of rooms for guests you’d like to bring along on your weekend at the lake. There’s a pool out back, a rec room and a bar for entertaining. Light pervades the home, accented with marble finishes in the kitchen and baths. A second staff or catering kitchen is ideal for those bigger gatherings on the manicured lawns.
