For many years Keefe Real Estate has closely tracked the sales price statistics for lakefront property sales on Lake Geneva, Delavan Lake, Lauderdale Lakes, and Lake Beulah. We have just added Whitewater Lake, WI to this list. At 640 acres, Whitewater Lake is a large, recreation-oriented lake in the Kettle Moraine region in northwest Walworth County, approximately 30 minutes from Lake Geneva, WI. Part of the Kettle Moraine state forest fronts on the lake and serves as the southern terminus of the Kettle Moraine leg of the Ice Age Trail.

Over 400 properties share the lake frontage on Whitewater Lake WI, with a mix of seasonal cabins, full-time homes, and vacant lots. The average sale price for Whitewater Lake frontage in 2010 was just over $4,700 per running foot (inclusive of land and buildings). Comparing this to Delavan Lake and Lauderdale Lakes in the $7,000 per foot range or Lake Geneva in the $20,000 per foot range, it’s easy to see the great value represented by Whitewater Lake property. At this writing there are 16 active listings on the lake from $249,000 to $2.3M. Click on our “Lake View in Depth” link to see what’s listed today.
