A selection of recent residential property transfers around Three Lakes shows just how broad the area’s housing market can be. Seventeen improved residential properties in the Northern Prospects sample changed hands between August 14 and September 28, 2026, with reported prices ranging from $160,000 to $1,995,000. Together the transfers accounted for $10,984,900 in reported consideration; the median price within this selected group was $450,000.
These figures describe this prospecting selection, not every home sold in the Three Lakes market. Four additional transfers in the original 21-record Sample Bag were explicitly classified in the state transfer records as land only and have been excluded here.
Three sales topped $1 million
The highest reported price was $1,995,000 at 7670 Wheeler Road on September 25. Real estate listings identify the same property as 7670 Wheeler Island Road, a contemporary five-bedroom home built in 2024, with approximately 4,350 square feet on 1.25 acres. The listing history shows the asking price had been reduced from $2,147,500 in April before the September sale. The different road names in the source transfer and listing should be reconciled before treating the addresses as interchangeable in other databases. Property listing and sale history.
At 8005 Four Mile Lake Road, a furnished three-bedroom chalet sold for $1,150,000 on August 21. The real estate listing describes a 1.36-acre peninsula property with more than 280 feet of frontage on Four Mile Lake. Its public sale history also records a $625,000 transaction in May 2024, or $525,000 less than this summer’s price. The listing describes an updated home, but those two prices alone do not establish renovation costs or an investment return. Listing and sale history.

Its listing describes a three-bedroom chalet on approximately 2.65 acres with 100 feet of sandy frontage on Long Lake, plus a bunkhouse near the water. The $1.025 million sale was above its $995,000 listing price. Listing details.

Shoreland rules were also under discussion
As these properties changed hands, Oneida County was working through revisions to its shoreland protection ordinance. The County Board approved an update in October 2026 following years of committee work and public debate. An issue in that discussion was vegetation clearing within shoreline access and viewing corridors. The rule changes are countywide context for lake-area property ownership, not evidence that any of the houses in this selection received a zoning variance or development permit.

The source transfer records are inconsistent about waterfront characteristics: some show zero feet of frontage even where a detailed property listing identifies shoreline. For that reason, this roundup describes waterfront features only when supported by a separate property-specific source. A more comprehensive GIS-based waterfront classification remains a separate step.
Source note: Wisconsin Department of Revenue real estate transfer returns, matched by Northern Prospects to Wisconsin statewide parcel data. The sample contains 21 selected transfers dated August–September 2026; four marked “Land only” were excluded, leaving 17 improved residential transactions. Reported prices are conveyance figures, and the selection is not a complete market inventory or a market-wide statistical survey. No property-specific planning approval was verified during this review.
