Market Comparison
12388 Brookwood Circle vs. the Luxury Chain
How this lakefront home compares with today's luxury lake listings on the Whitefish Chain priced above $1,400,000.
The Bottom Line
The same chain, the same beach lifestyle, at a fraction of the luxury tier's price.
12388 Brookwood Circle is a rare entry point into the Whitefish Chain's luxury waterfront market. The premium tier above $1,400,000 currently runs from just past that threshold up to the chain's top asking price of $6,500,000, and this lakefront home asks $1,499,999, offering a private sandy beach, two wood-burning fireplaces, a redwood deck, and a once-in-a-generation renovation canvas while keeping the shoreline that makes the property irreplaceable.
The chain's most expensive listings command a heavy premium for turnkey finish and generous square footage. 12388 Brookwood lets you buy into that same prized lake system for a far lower entry, then invest in the renovation you choose, building both your dream home and your equity on land that already comes with the beach.
