About This Home

This lakeshore legacy property is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish your multi-generational family compound in the idyllic town of Lake Bluff, Illinois. This 27-acre property with its polo fields and equestrian stables with 13 stalls rivaling Wellington, and 700 feet of private Lake Michigan beach access for boating, is reserved for the discerning buyer who wants the best of both worlds: a luxurious country estate and the convenience of access to metropolitan living. Just 35 miles north of Chicago's 22 Michelin Star restaurants, world-class museums including art by Suerat, O'Keeffe and Van Gogh, and the largest heliport in North America, Lakeshore Legacy boasts of the seclusion and security of a private oasis. The sprawling estate has the ambiance of Europe with a tree-lined gravel drive, in-ground pool, tennis court, and nearby access to the prestigious Shore Acres Country Club. The marquee home features a stunningly renovated primary suite and handcrafted millwork making this six bedroom, six full and two half bath home the perfect retreat to enjoy unobstructed Lake Michigan sunrises. Both formal and informal gardens accentuate the beauty of the land. Impressive architectural details abound including a captivating two-story entryway with iron railings, custom chef's kitchen with commercial grade appliances and sunny eat-in area, all in a meticulously maintained one-owner home that strikes the perfect balance between opulence and comfort. Establish your lakeshore legacy: World class and a world away. *PLEASE DO NOT ENTER CRAB TREE FARM LANE WITHOUT PERMISSION, AS IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.*
