Lake Geneva and Delavan, WI – November 11, 2024– Southwest Wisconsin, just 65 miles from Chicago, with its picture-perfect lakes, beaches and endless water sports, has long been a summertime destination for Illinois vacationers and lake house homeowners. However, in recent years, the area has become the choice for homebuyers who enjoy all that the area has to offer year-round.
“There’s so much to enjoy and explore in Lake Geneva and Delavan, not just in the summer but year-round. It’s no surprise that growing families and empty nesters alike are making the move to southwest Wisconsin,” said Jaynelle Then, Sales Director for Shodeen Homes. “Cross-country skiing, sledding, ice skating, ice fishing, snowboarding, winter zip lining tours, fall color and Santa cruises on the lake, winery and brewery tastings and more attract home buyers as do events such as the annual Winterfest and U.S. Snow Sculpting competition.”
Shodeen Homes, a family-owned and operated builder for more than 60 years, offers homes for quick move-in or to be built at communities in Lake Geneva and the Town of Delavan.
“Sales at Stone Ridge outpaced our expectations as we are nearing closeout,” Then said. “Our model in the Woods of Stone Ridge is for sale with limited opportunities to build new still available.”
Stone Ridge is within walking distance to downtown Lake Geneva and the 21-mile shore path surrounding the lake.
