Discover the Lakeside Lifestyle with Engerman Contracting
Fontana-on-Geneva Lake, located on the tranquil western shore of Geneva Lake, is one of the most desirable communities in southeastern Wisconsin. As one of the oldest inhabited areas on the lake, Fontana blends historic charm with modern amenities, offering residents an unmatched quality of life. Whether you’re building your dream lakefront home or renovating a cozy cottage, Engerman Contracting is your trusted local expert in bringing lakeside living to life.
Lakeside Living at Its Best
Fontana’s prime location on Geneva Lake provides direct access to the area’s best boating, fishing, kayaking, and swimming. The village’s public beach is a favorite summer destination, offering soft sand, clear water, and beautiful lake views. Nearby, Fontana Marina and pier access make it easy to launch your boat or enjoy a peaceful sunset cruise.
Locals and visitors alike enjoy a unique Fontana tradition—boating up to Chuck’s Lakeshore Inn, a beloved lakeside eatery where you can dock your boat, grab food, and soak in the views. It’s casual, classic Wisconsin fun, just steps from the lake.
A Thriving, Close-Knit Community
Fontana maintains a year-round population of approximately 1,900, but that number rises significantly in the summer as vacationers and second-home owners flock to the area. Despite its seasonal influx, Fontana holds onto its small-town character, with community events, farmers’ markets, and local festivals like Lobster Fest and Fourth of July fireworks drawing neighbors together.
Natural Beauty & Outdoor Recreation
Nature lovers will feel right at home in Fontana. The village is a gateway to the iconic Geneva Lake Shore Path, a 21-mile walking trail offering unmatched views of the lake and surrounding estates. The peaceful Duck Pond Recreation Area features trails, ball fields, picnic spots, and open spaces for families to enjoy year-round. The rolling hills that overlook Geneva Lake provide incredible backdrops and make Fontana one of the most scenic places to live in Wisconsin.
Education & Family-Friendly Amenities
Fontana is served by the Fontana Joint 8 School District, known for its strong academics and active community involvement. The village is a safe, welcoming environment that appeals to families looking for a place where children can grow and thrive. Engerman Contracting can help families expand or update their homes to match their evolving needs—whether it’s creating more space or updating outdated rooms.
Dining, Arts & Entertainment
From lakeside fine dining to casual cafés and ice cream shops, Fontana’s dining scene caters to every palate.
