About this home
One of Lake Greenfield's most extraordinary waterfront estates, offering the largest shoreline frontage in the community and a lifestyle few properties can rival. Nestled on approximately 11.5 private acres, this exceptional lakefront retreat combines luxury, recreation, privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty just one hour south of Chicago. Designed for both grand-scale entertaining and everyday enjoyment, the property offers an unmatched connection to the outdoors. Spend your days boating, waterskiing, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the private waters of Lake Greenfield, then unwind along your expansive shoreline while taking in spectacular sunset views. Beautifully landscaped grounds, winding trails, private koi pond, and thoughtfully designed outdoor gathering spaces create a setting that feels worlds away from the ordinary. The custom brick and stone ranch showcases quality craftsmanship and upscale finishes throughout. An open-concept layout is complemented by spacious living areas, soaring views of the lake, and a beautifully appointed kitchen designed to accommodate everything from intimate family dinners to large gatherings. Luxury details, custom finishes, and timeless design elements are found throughout the home, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. The primary suite serves as a peaceful private retreat, while a dedicated home office provides the ideal workspace and optional bedroom if needed. A stunning three-season room offers panoramic views and a comfortable place to relax throughout much of the year. The finished walkout lower level extends the home's living space with a large family and recreation area, two additional bedrooms with private ensuite bathrooms, and direct access to a covered outdoor entertaining space complete with a hot tub overlooking the grounds. Beyond the residence, an impressive outbuilding offers exceptional flexibility for hobbyists, collectors, business operations, workshop space, or additional storage. Combined with ample parking and expansive grounds, the property is uniquely equipped to accommodate everything from family gatherings and holiday celebrations to large-scale events. Located within the exclusive private Lake Greenfield community with no public lake access, this remarkable estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most significant waterfront properties. With unmatched shoreline frontage, luxury living spaces, incredible recreational amenities, and endless opportunities to create lasting memories, this is far more than a home, it's a legacy property built for generations to enjoy....
