113 Winnebago Loop

Sold May 5, 2025
Sold for $94k less8 sq ft larger$241 lower per sq ftWell-maintained but lacks waterfront location

This sold listing on Winnebago Loop offers a very similar footprint to 126 Big Horn Drive but at a much lower price point. While 126 Big Horn Drive commands a premium for its direct waterfront access and private dock, this property shows that off-water park models in the same community sell for significantly less. You are essentially paying a $94,000 premium for the water views and lake access provided by the home for sale.

Bottom line
If the waterfront lifestyle is your priority, the price jump for 126 Big Horn Drive reflects that unique location, but for pure square footage, this sold listing was a much more affordable entry into the community.

138 Running Deer Drive

Sold Jun 9, 2025
Sold for $130k less16 sq ft larger$334 lower per sq ftVisibly dated interior and off-water location

Comparing the home for sale to this property on Running Deer Drive highlights the difference between a standard interior and a premium waterfront setup. This sold listing features older finishes like honey oak cabinetry and dated flooring, whereas 126 Big Horn Drive is sold fully furnished with a more modern, move-in-ready feel. The massive price gap is a combination of the interior condition and the lack of lakefrontage on this sold home.

Bottom line
126 Big Horn Drive is a clear step up in quality and location compared to this property, though you are paying more than double for those upgrades.

117 Pinto Drive

Sold Jan 23, 2025
Sold for $2k less127 sq ft larger$136 lower per sq ftSuperior stick-built construction and modern finishes

This is a very telling comparison because the home on Pinto Drive is a brand-new, stick-built cottage with high-end finishes like butcher block counters and shiplap walls. Even though it is a superior stick-built asset class and larger than 126 Big Horn Drive, it sold for slightly less. This emphasizes just how much value is being placed on the waterfront lot at 126 Big Horn Drive, as the home for sale costs more per square foot than a new custom cottage.

Bottom line
126 Big Horn Drive is positioned as a luxury waterfront option, but you are paying a significant premium over a newer, higher-quality build located off the water.
