At the end of a long private driveway is where you’ll find this beautifully maintained lake house. Immense privacy (lot size 1.4 acres) combines with a deep water boat slip and a desirable south shore location, just minutes from the Lake Geneva Yacht Club and Big Foot Country Club. Soaring ceilings in the great room are anchored by an impressive stone fireplace, creating a lovely environment for all-season entertaining. Four bedrooms plus sleeping loft along with three and a half baths means you can have the whole family up for weekends at the lake. Enjoy summer at your private Academy Estates lakefront with your transferable, canopied slip, or relax back at the house on the expansive deck or the secluded fire pit. Freshly updated with new cedar roof, this lake house is ready for immediate enjoyment. $2,795,000.

Each and every time I print this magazine I’m reminded of one delivery morning many years ago. I had just dropped a stack of magazines at a local Starbucks, and then stood in line to grab a coffee. I kept an eye on the magazines and watched with interest as some patrons tucked the new issue under their arm and walked to their cars. One such person grabbed a magazine and walked out just ahead of me. I was close enough to watch her thumb through the magazine and tell her husband “oh great, another chance to read Dave Curry talking about himself.” I was slightly upset at this comment, but at least she understood the content of the magazine. The new issue is available today, and I do hope you like it. .lakegeneva .stores .custombuilders .studios

George Williams College has sold. The battle that surrounded this sale to a wonderful buyer whom I was proud to represent, was about battle to avoid the future in favor of keeping it “the way it was”. I never felt the need to keep George Williams College “the way it was” because it’s already not what it was. It was a basic YMCA camp. Then it became something else. Then, something else. Then, you guessed it: something else. The newest something else promises to benefit not just the select few who paid to attend college there, but everyone in the community, both full time and vacation home residents, and the municipality who had the foresight and resolve to welcome this change. Right now, that benefit doesn’t look so obvious to those who were staunchly opposed to the vision of an upscale, low density country inn, and I can respect their position. But for me, I couldn’t be more excited about what’s coming next to this iconic property on the North Shore of Fontana Bay. Just as I was honored to represent the University of Chicago and their Yerkes holdings, I feel uniquely privileged to have represented the world class buyer of the magnificent grounds we know as George Williams College.

Above, the vision for what’s coming next, as shown at the Williams Bay village board meeting in March.
