Custom lake homes
Homes designed around the water, the view and how you use the shoreline.
A lake home is built around the view, the shoreline and the way your family uses the water. Scott builds modern lake homes with simple shapes, gradual roof pitches and lots of glass, and classic Northwoods lake homes with stone and timber.
Building near water has its own rules and its own site work. Counties and towns regulate how close you can build to the shore, and the lot often decides where the house can go. Scott looks at the lot first, then the plan.
What this covers
- Floor plans and window placement for water and sky views
- Lot evaluation first: shoreline rules, soil, slope, septic and utilities
- Modern or classic Northwoods exteriors, your choice
- Realistic allowances up front so the budget holds
How it works with Scott
The order matters on a lake lot. Scott walks the lot and checks what the shoreline and the land allow, then the design is drawn to fit, and only then does the budget and schedule get set. That order keeps surprises out of the middle of the build.
Talk to ScottQuestions about custom lake homes
How long does it take to build a custom home on a lake lot in northern Wisconsin?
There is no honest single number. A lake lot adds steps before construction: checking shoreline zoning, planning the septic system and driveway, and getting permits. After that the build follows the size of the home and the weather. Plan on many months from first call to move-in. Scott gives you a schedule once he has seen your lot and your plan.
Do you build on the water?
Yes. Lake homes are a core part of what Roshak Builders builds. Call or text Scott about your lot.
Can you build on a lake in the Eagle River chain?
Scott builds across the Northwoods, including the Eagle River area, and will look at any lot for the right project.
What should I check before buying a lake lot?
Ask about shoreline zoning and setbacks, whether the lot can take a septic system, how the road and driveway reach the site, and whether the buildable area fits the home you want. Scott does this lot evaluation, ideally before you close on the land.
