Lake Geneva Home Builders — Custom Lake & Luxury Homes

Building a custom home in Lake Geneva calls for a team that knows lake lots, HOAs, and shoreline rules. Jorndt Fahey builds luxury and lakefront homes with a clean process, tight scheduling, and craftsmanship that lasts. We can design-build or collaborate with your architect; either way, we manage permits, inspections, and a clear schedule from start to finish.

Lakefront Expertise: Lots, Setbacks & Shoreline

Homes near Geneva Lake often involve shoreland considerations (setbacks, impervious surface limits, vegetation protection). We coordinate early with the City of Lake Geneva Building & Zoning and follow the WI DNR shoreland standards so your design aligns with what’s buildable before you fall in love with a floor plan.

Design-Build or Architect Collaboration

Work with our in-house team or bring your architect — we’ll align details, scheduling, and budgets either way. Expect proactive updates, defined milestones, and a tidy jobsite.

FAQs: Building in Lake Geneva

Do I need special permits to build in Lake Geneva?

Yes. New homes and most major work require permits via Building & Zoning. We prepare applications, coordinate inspections, and keep you informed.

What are “shoreland” rules?

In Wisconsin, shoreland standards apply in designated areas near navigable water (commonly within 1,000 ft of a lake). We plan site design with these rules in mind from day one.

How long does a custom build take?

Scope-dependent. Typical phases run design (varies) + ~6–10 months construction. We’ll map a schedule to your plan and selections.

Will you work with my HOA/ARB?

Yes. We package submissions and coordinate approvals to keep the schedule moving.

Can you match modern farmhouse, contemporary, or timber-stone lake styles?

Absolutely — we tailor structure, windows, and finishes to your vision and the site.
