Today in Wisconsin’s Lake Country area, boathouses are a treasure, with glimpses of the boating and lifestyle history of yore and opportunities for a new purpose. Depending on the original structure, wet or dry, many lake homeowners have found a way to preserve the original intent of their construction and add personal modern touches that reflect enhancements to the main home and accommodate the entertaining and lifestyle needs of the current owners.

Boathouses today can offer an extension of the luxury lake home’s living space, enhancing the properties’ views and proximity to the water. Whether guest quarters, dining alternatives, a quiet escape or storage for water activities, the right custom homebuilder can transform this coveted structure into the highlight of your property.
