COMP•A 9.2-acre Lake Geneva estate with 160 feet of shoreline and a five-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom main house has launched at a nearly $11 million asking price. The listing—held since the 1980s and assessed at $5.43 million—is poised to be the largest Geneva Lake sale since a $14.3 million closing in March.
1. Listing Details
Tricia Forbeck of Compass has listed a 9.2-acre estate on Walcowis Drive featuring five parcels, 160 feet of Geneva Lake frontage and a main residence with five bedrooms (including three lofts), four full bathrooms, one half-bath, an open great room, wet bar, screened porch and expansive deck.
2. Ownership and Valuation
Held by Janice Van Dyke Zeilstra since the 1980s under VanDyke Lake Geneva LP, the primary 1.53-acre parcel carries a 2025 assessed valuation of $5.43 million and a net property tax bill of $51,180.
3. Market Comparison
Priced at nearly $11 million, the Walcowis Drive listing would surpass all Geneva Lake residential sales since a $14.3 million mansion sale in March, positioning it as the region’s priciest active offer.
4. Luxury Market Trends
Two new-construction lakefront homes priced between $15 million and $25 million have lingered for months and undergone price cuts, while the area’s second-priciest listing—an eight-bedroom home at $8.5 million—has been on the market 256 days and recently dropped its price by $500,000.
