About this home
Public Remarks: SOLD AT SHERIFF SALE. 293 FEET LAKE FRONT! Come see this most AMAZING home that took nearly 2 years to build and will take your breath away over and over and over again. It offers dead-on Capitol views, lake views from virtually every room & unmatched privacy. Recent insurance replacement for home is $3,547,000. Recent teardown sale on Farwell of a 147' lake frontage lot was $2,100,000. This estate offers twice the frontage and one of Madison's truly breathtaking homes for a ridiculous price.
