The five highest-priced home sales reported in Hayward & Northwest Lakes, Wisconsin for the week ending October 25, 2026, came to $3.04 million combined. Three of the homes are in Rice Lake, one is in Chetek and one is in Radisson, and four of the five sales were in Barron County, with the fifth in Sawyer County.
The group spans eight decades of building, from a home completed in 2020 to one dating to 1940, and its settings range from less than half an acre on a lake to more than 21 forested acres along a river.
No. 1 — $1,055,000 · 952A 24 7/8 Street, Chetek, Wisconsin
The week’s top sale is a one-story lakefront home on Pokegama Lake and the Chetek Chain that sold for $1,055,000. Built in 2020, it is the newest home of the five, and with 3,424 square feet of living space it is also the largest. It has five bedrooms, the most in the group, and three bathrooms, all on a 0.40-acre lot, the smallest of the five.
The main level is open, and its living areas face the lake. A fireplace and pine detailing on the ceiling set the tone, and the finishes include custom alder cabinetry, Cambria countertops and commercial-grade appliances. The home also has a spacious owner’s suite.
Below, the finished walkout level is built for gathering, with in-floor heating, a full kitchenette, a second living area, a full bath and rooms that work as bedrooms or flex space. It opens straight onto a lakeside patio shaded by an awning. The oversized attached three-car garage has in-floor heat of its own and nine-foot overhead doors, and a whole-house backup generator and LP SmartSide siding round out the construction.
Outside, a covered lakeside deck has shades for the afternoon sun, and the lawn is watered by an in-ground sprinkler system. Mature trees frame the yard, and there is a dock with a boat lift and a storage shed, with views out across the water. The property last sold for $210,000 in 2017, before the current home was built.
