Bishops Bay
Middleton, WI
Set on 780 acres overlooking Lake Mendota, The Community of Bishops Bay, developed by T. Wall Enterprises, is a master-planned neighborhood that blends natural beauty, diverse architecture, and outdoor living. The 780-acre community includes seven distinct neighborhoods (five currently open: The Back Nine, The Farm, The Prairie, The Woods, and Prairie Estates), secure gated areas, and a future Town Center designed for walkability and convenience.
One of Bishops Bay’s standout features is flexibility. Unlike many new developments, residents can choose their own architect and builder, allowing for one-of-a-kind homes that reflect their personal style. While community standards ensure quality and cohesion, the design diversity creates an eclectic and vibrant streetscape. More than 35 experienced builders have already contributed to the unique architectural landscape.
This community supports a golf-centric and outdoors lifestyle, with nearby access to more than 2,000 acres of open space and parks. Amenities include a private clubhouse with a pool and hot tub, extensive pedestrian and bike trails, a children’s playground, sledding hill, ice skating rink, picnic areas, and breathtaking views of Lake Mendota and the State Capitol.
Now in its 7th phase of development, the current sales focus is their Prairie Estates Neighborhood, where spacious lots back up to the Bishops Bay Country Club Golf Course, Holy Wisdom Monastery, or the North Mendota Wildlife Area. A limited number of lots remain in the available neighborhoods, but Bishops Bay continues to expand, with Phase 8 in the planning stage.
With its mix of natural surroundings, thoughtful planning, and architectural freedom, The Community of Bishops Bay offers a truly special living experience. Whether you're looking to build your dream home or find a move-in-ready space, this neighborhood invites you to explore, connect, and live your own way.
Evans Crossing,
Middleton, WI
Evans Crossing, a niche neighborhood developed by Jason Thomas Homes LLC, was designed with intention from the ground up. Located in Middleton, this serene community is defined by its mature trees, cohesive home styles, and an emphasis on preserving the existing natural beauty.
From the start, developer Jason T. Kratochwill prioritized the landscape. Rather than expand yard sizes, he focused on saving the neighborhood’s most striking features, including a massive ancient oak tree, maples and pines, and key tree lines that now give Evans Crossing its peaceful, established look. Even the Town trail was thoughtfully relocated to protect mature trees.
The homes follow an aesthetic that sets the neighborhood apart. Exterior colors are drawn from indigenous tones like tans, bronzes, blacks, and natural masonry hues, while traditional white trim and bright accents are intentionally absent. This consistent palette allows the surrounding landscape and homes to blend together seamlessly.. A meadow of native wildflowers is required in every front lawn, an element that ensures the natural habitat and visual character of the neighborhood flows smoothly from one property to the next.
In addition to its visual appeal, Evans Crossing offers convenience for homeowners who prefer low-maintenance living. The HOA provides full lawn care and snow removal, proven to be one of the community’s most popular features.
Kratochwill credits Aaron Olson of Olson-Toon Landscaping as an essential collaborator in bringing the neighborhood’s vision to life. From early planning to ongoing site work and maintenance, Olson’s partnership has helped shape the entire development.
Only a few lots remain, with more than half of the homes already built. A speculative home is planned for completion in early 2026, and Evans Crossing will be featured in the Madison Area Parade of Homes later that summer.
Glacier’s Trail
Middleton, WI

The community blends natural beauty, walkability, and a strong connection to the outdoors, making it ideal for families and those with active lifestyles.
What sets Glacier’s Trail apart is its scenic topography, including wooded lots, open vistas, and the Ice Age Trail that runs directly through the development. Whether walking the neighborhood trails or exploring the larger trail system, you’re surrounded by stunning natural views and quiet, winding streets that make daily life feel like a private escape. In addition to immediate trail access, Glacier’s Trail is situated near miles of pedestrian and bike paths, connecting residents to nearby parks, recreation spaces, and beyond.
Glacier’s Trail is just minutes from Madison’s west side, close to top-rated golf courses, popular restaurants, and local shopping. Families especially appreciate the proximity to the highly regarded Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District, ensuring a quality education and an easy commute.
The development includes a range of homesites with varying lot sizes and views, offering flexibility for buyers who want a home that reflects their personal taste. For those interested in exploring the neighborhood further, the Highland model by Victory Homes of Wisconsin is available to tour. This 4,300+ sq. ft. home features a first-floor primary suite, office, four-season room, and an expansive lower level complete with a wet bar, wine room, media space, and fifth bedroom.
With just a few homesites remaining, Glacier’s Trail continues to be one of Middleton’s most sought-after neighborhoods. It offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful rural surroundings with easy access to city conveniences.
