Crivitz and Surrounding Areas Real Estate
Lake homes, cabins and acreage in Crivitz and the Marinette County towns around it.
Living in Crivitz and Surrounding Areas
If you are looking at Crivitz and Surrounding Areas neighborhoods, you are looking at a part of Wisconsin where the lakes, the river and the woods set the pace. Crivitz is a village in Marinette County on the Peshtigo River, and it calls itself the Gateway to the North. The towns around it, from Stephenson and Silver Cliff to Athelstane, Pound and Wausaukee, are where most of the cabins, lake homes and acreage in this part of the Northwoods are.
People come here for a lifestyle more than a house. Morning coffee over the water. Acreage out the back door. Trails for the afternoon. A cabin the whole family can gather at. Some buy a weekend place. Others are relocating, moving closer to family, or looking for a quieter life with more room to breathe.
That mix is why no two properties here are alike, and why a template does not work. A lake home, a hunting camp and a wooded lot are three different purchases and three different sales. If you are thinking about selling waterfront or a cabin or buying a lake home, this page will help you find your bearings.

How Venture North serves Crivitz and Surrounding Areas
I am Kathryn Conard, broker and owner of Venture North Real Estate Co, and my office is right here in Crivitz at 700 Henriette Ave. I have closed more than 240 transactions and over $60 million in sales since 2018, most of them in the Northwoods, so the questions that come with this kind of property are ones I answer every week.
Every property gets its own marketing plan. Before I talk price, I ask why you are selling, or what you want a place to be if you are buying. Then I look at who the real buyer is for your property and build the plan around that person. When septic, the well, title, a survey or an easement comes up, I have local professionals I trust for each one, and I tell you when to bring one in instead of guessing.
I watch what showings, feedback and online views are telling us and adjust. I do not list a property and wait. And when something is complicated, I pick up the phone.
Crivitz and Surrounding Areas: the towns I work in
The towns below are where most of my clients are buying and selling. Each has its own feel, and I am glad to walk you through the ones you are considering.
- Crivitz. The village at the center of it all, on the Peshtigo River and about four miles from Lake Noquebay, the largest lake in Marinette County. Main Avenue is the downtown, and Twin Bridge Park sits on High Falls Flowage.
- Town of Stephenson. Home to Big Newton Lake and Little Newton Lake.
- Pound and Wausaukee. Two villages in Marinette County. White Potato Lake, which is in Oconto County, is close to Pound, and Sandstone Flowage is near both Pound and Crivitz.
- Silver Cliff, Athelstane, Town of Lake, Pembine and Amberg. Towns across Marinette County, and all part of my everyday work.
- Marinette. The city of Marinette, in Marinette County.
- Mountain and Lakewood. Towns in Oconto County that I also work in.

Homes, cabins and land in Crivitz and Surrounding Areas
The property here runs wide. Waterfront homes and cottages, from year-round homes to weekend places for boating, fishing and swimming. Cabins in the woods. Hunting land and recreational acreage. Vacant land to build on. Homes with room for UTVs, boats and trailers. Some of these are also small commercial properties and businesses, which I handle too.
I do not quote a single average price for the area, because an average hides the difference between a bay on a busy lake and forty quiet acres. What a property is worth depends on frontage, access, condition, and the buyers who want that kind of place. For a real number, ask me about your property on my what is my home worth page.
If you are buying, the questions to ask are different from the ones a suburban buyer asks: septic, the well, title, the survey, easements, and who maintains the road. My Northwoods Buyer's Guide lists them. If you are selling, my Northwoods Seller's Guide starts with the question that matters most: why are you selling?
The water, the woods and the trails
The places people ask me about most are the ones that make this area what it is. Lake Noquebay and its trails for hiking and biking. The Peshtigo River, High Falls Flowage and Caldron Falls Flowage. Johnson Falls Flowage and Sandstone Flowage. Big Newton Lake and Thunder Lake. Governor Earl Peshtigo River State Forest and Governor Thompson State Park to the northwest. Thunder Mountain Overlook Park, with its hiking and mountain bike trails.
A place that is perfect in July can be a different place in January, so I encourage buyers to ask about winter early: who plows the road, how the place is heated, and how the plumbing is protected when nobody is there. If you are still learning the area, tell me what you want a weekend to look like, and I will tell you where to start looking.
