On Broadway Street in Baraboo, a local legend awaits in the Al Ringling Mansion & Brewery—an estate that pairs historic presence with working, modern-ready hospitality spaces. The offering includes a historic mansion alongside a gorgeous brewery and beer garden, plus a turn-key restaurant and banquet hall, and a thriving Airbnb bed & breakfast. Inside, timeless craftsmanship sets the tone: white oak floors, ornate woodwork, a gold-leaf dining room ceiling, Tiffany-stained glass, and antique gilded chandeliers. Museum-quality updates bring quiet confidence, with new HVAC, upgraded electrical, and a spray-rubber roof on the brewery. The remodeled third floor adds a 3,000+ square-foot, 4BR/2BA apartment complete with a full kitchen and laundry—ready to support private living, hosting, or both.

Along the water’s edge on historic Fowler Lake, this newly constructed custom home brings lake living into the heart of downtown Oconomowoc.

Indoors, a chef’s kitchen anchors the main level for quiet meals or larger gatherings, while the dining and great rooms connect in an easy flow, framed by expansive windows that pull the lakefront view inside. A flexible living space, full bath, and laundry round out the first floor. Upstairs, a ship-inspired custom staircase rises to gracious bedrooms with upscale baths. The lower level adds a spacious rec room, full bath, fifth bedroom with egress, and an auxiliary kitchenette—ready for weekends that linger.

Along the water’s edge on a tranquil 0.67-acre lot, this open-concept retreat is designed to capture endless sunsets, just a short drive from the Fox Cities. Vaulted ceilings and skylights wash the main level in natural light, drawing attention to solid-surface kitchen counters and an easy, flowing layout. The primary suite adds a quiet luxury, with private access to a serene screened-in deck for slow mornings and breezy evenings. Downstairs, a walk-out lower level with soaring 10-foot ceilings introduces a cozier mood, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a dedicated hot tub room, and a full second kitchen—ideal for hosting summer lake guests. Outside, a newer Bulman dock with built-in benches waits for days on the water and unhurried returns home.

The primary suite includes an updated private bath, with two additional generously sized bedrooms completing the main floor. Downstairs, the lower level offers tons of storage and potential for future living space.
