Wisconsin has over 15,000 lakes besides Lake Michigan, not
mention thousands of miles of river and stream frontage. Water
recreation is part of our heritage and remains vastly popular in
its many forms. From boating, fishing, sailing, swimming,
canoeing, kayaking, water skiing, and jet skiing in summer to
ice fishing, cross country skiing, ice skating, hockey, and
snowmobiling in the winter, waterfront living provides uniquely
unparalleled access to these recreations.
Waterfront properties are also unique in that they are
restricted to protect the water and wildlife. If your dream is
to own and build or improve a waterfront property, trust your
investment with a builder who has the experience and expertise
to make your waterfront property a dream come true. From Vilas
to Dane County, we can make sure you dream never becomes a
nightmare.
James Bourne is the owner of a large building
company, Madison Homes, Inc. Wisconsin Waterfront
Builders is a specialized department in that company.
Everyone knows that waterfront property sells at
a premium. Therefore every inch counts in designing your
waterfront home. We have an in house CAD (computer aided
design) department that will design your dream home in three
dimensions clearly taking into account precisely the topography
of the land, and the lot lines. We pride ourselves in being
highly precise in our measurements, design, and construction
planning. Waterfront properties are often difficult to build
on, with very limited access to get supplies in, or room to
maneuver. We have already built where others have said it could
not be done. Involve us early on in your decision making if you
are considering a challenging project.
“Consider us to build your next Waterfront
Home”
