In Harmony with Nature; Why not let Tom Braatz show you Dousman Wisconsin?

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker

If you are in the Lake Country why not let Tom Braatz  show you the Village of Dousman? It does not take long when you come into the Village of Dousman to realize that everyone is very friendly, and welcomes you. This is a community where people participate, and it also is a community that has the luxury of being surrounded by majestic fields of Sand Hill cranes, birds, wild life, and more.

It is truly amazing to watch such a beautiful bird gather with others, nest, and enjoy the fields, waterways, and conservancy they way they do. I hope that picture never leaves my head in my lifetime. You can walk down the Drumlin trail which reaches from Milwaukee to Spring Green, Wisconsin. Spring Green was home to renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. There are boat houses and other examples of his architecure in this area. If fact, When I was married, I had a very large home that was built by one of his students that sat on a hilltop in the country. All the glass used to make me worry about heat bills. It was a nice home.

The trail allows people to walk, bike, and just enjoy unspoiled nature. Large expanses of land offer home to deer, a large variaty of birds, butterflies, and flowers and flora everywhere. Absolutely breath taking. One can sit for hours on benches and be fasinated by all the interaction, and solitude you view.

 The Village of Dousman has a unique small "Main Street" that is in lots of little Villages and Towns in Wisconsin. A fire department, taverns, restaurants, general store, a Masonic lodge, and a retirement home for retirees, and much more charming buildings. I have sold everything from Residential to Commercial in this fine community, and I like the outgoing friendliness that exists in Dousman. I see it everywhere in Waukesha County.

History is prevelant everywhere in Dousman. Hercules  Dousman was a fur trader. A lot of his influences can be seen in this town, and other historical sites in Waukesha County. Earlier it was a combination of fur traders, farmers, and other individuals that would make up the start of this Village. Today, a lot of the old buildings still exist, and are complimented by new ones as well, and surrounding homes.

 

 

See you at closing!

What kind of bird is that, Tom? It's similar to a bobolink but it doesn't have the yellow patch on the back of its head. It looks so familiar to me, and now my brain hurts because I can't figure it out.

Frank Lloyd Wright still has a Taliesin school there. The builder of my home that went to his school in Arizona I believe was named Russell Bar Williamson. 5600 sq. ft and huge pieces of glass. I tired of it when I was having these 800 a month and more gas bills. Then I figure out that my son had turned the in ground pool heater up to about 90 degrees. It looked pretty wierd will all this fog on a hill top. Frank did a lot of projects here. Did you know that he was married to Joseph Stalin's daughter?
