The Bowens sought to re-create the feeling of European hotels they've visited. A lmost 70 years have passed since one of Mequon's most elegant estates was constructed in a woodsy glen near Zedler Lane. It was far away from the urban bustle yet near enough for a day's fox hunt. Even today, time seems to slip away when driving down these same paths. Although they're now covered with asphalt, the narrow roads take the same winding route through the forest.
Branches form a picturesque canopy over the paths, effectively hiding homes from view.
Eventually, there's a break in the trees, revealing the sprawling expanse of the original estate. There are 36 homes on the property that once belonged solely to Juniper Hollow. The current estate consists of about three acres. In June 1998, Jim and Lori Bowen took their first look at Juniper Hollow. They were originally from Green Bay, where Jim worked for the Fort Howard Paper Company and Lori was the primary caregiver for their two children.
