This week for our pick 3, we will be featuring the three most expensive properties in Dane County. To kick things off, we have a classic red brick Georgian Colonial home located right on Lake Mendota, followed by a Prairie Craftsman home nestled away in the rolling hills of Black Earth. To wrap things up, we will be looking at a stunning custom 7800+ sq. ft. home in the Blackhawk area of Madison.

First up, lets take a look at this two story, red brick Georgian Colonial mansion. Located in one of Madison's most prestigious neighborhoods, Maple Bluff is full of large, beautiful homes. Sitting on almost half of an acre, the Lake Mendota views are amazing to say the least. The property itself is a massive 6431 sq. ft. It has a total of 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and boasts very large, comfortable living areas. This rare home is a truly historic looking mansion with all the hallmarks of a modern luxury home. Built in 2003 by Michael F Simon Builders, the home is one of the builder's most beautiful and livable custom homes in Madison. Nestled right along the edge of Lake Mendota, its only four houses from the Governor's Executive Residence.

Next up, is a very unique Prairie Craftsman home tucked away in the Town of Vermont. This custom 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom home was built in 1971 and has a feel like no other home you've ever seen. Once you enter the driveway, it’s your world inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Tradition by Wesley Peters. Built into the brow of the hill on 80 acres, the house is a work of art designed to be integral to the site and a space for gracious living. Windows across all of the curved walls create a unique spaciousness by bringing in the expansive views over the treetops. Fully renovated over the past 14 years with over $1 million in updates !! Extraordinary retreat, only 20 mins from Madison. A one of a kind home in the heart of the rolling hills.

Wrapping things up this week, we will be checking out another custom home located on the West side of Madison. Coming in at 7851 sq. feet, this stunning 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom Blackhawk beauty offers a rare combination of traditional & modern, sumptuous finishes and woodwork, gorgeous custom cabinets, arched doorways throughout, and coffered ceilings. With a light-filled, airy and open floor plan, the soaring ceiling heights allow for floor to ceiling windows that offer views to the inviting gardens and expansive back yard. Features a large theater room, full wet bar, and a custom built wine cellar. No expense has been spared on the details. If it’s here, it’s top of the line.
