The highest-priced home sales reported in the Watertown & Dodge-Jefferson Area, Wisconsin for the week ending November 8, 2026 spanned well over a century of building, from a Victorian finished in 1860 to a home completed in 1991. The five sales totaled $3.03 million.
Lake Mills accounted for three of them, including two older homes on the water near its downtown, while Beaver Dam and Fox Lake each had one. Three of the homes are in Jefferson County and two are in Dodge County, and the list runs from rural acreage to in-town lots.
No. 1 — $800,000 · N8081 Springer Rd, Lake Mills, Wisconsin
The top sale of the week was a contemporary home in the Prairie and Craftsman tradition, set on 3.71 acres of open country outside any subdivision, with views over the surrounding prairies. At 3,813 square feet on the largest lot of the group, it is also the biggest and newest of the five, built in 1991.
The main living space is a sunken great room, where a stone fireplace burns wood and spans the full width of the wall. The kitchen opens to it and has a quartz-topped island, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry fitted with a beverage cooler. Past the dining area, a four-season sun room leads to a deck, and a stone patio with a firepit sits in the backyard. Vaulted ceilings rise over parts of the home, and a loft upstairs works as an office and sitting area.
The home has three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a bath with a jetted tub and a separate shower. Below, the full basement walks out, with large windows, a family room, a bath and a good amount of storage.
