Brick path and three-tier fountain leading to a gated opening onto Lake Kampeska

Lake Kampeska  ·  Watertown, South Dakota

A quiet place
on the water.

A gracious lakefront home with a private dock, fountain garden and room for the whole family — in every season.

The House

Open the back door, and the lake is right there.

Step from the tiled entry onto a wide patio, past the wicker lounge and outdoor bar, down a brick path to the fountain and through the iron gate to the shoreline. Kayaks wait on the beach and the dock reaches out over Lake Kampeska.

Inside, a two-story great room is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and a brick fireplace. A sunny kitchen with a long breakfast bar opens to a dining table for eight, and a quieter front living room with a piano and arched windows makes room for reading, games and long conversations.

Upstairs, a balcony loft with built-in bunks, a TV and a stack of board games is where the kids will want to be. Four bedrooms, including a lake-facing primary suite with a jetted tub, give everyone else a place to land.
