About This Home
As of April 2025Unparalleled Luxury Awaits: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Estate. This extraordinary Barrington Hills estate is not just a home-it's a masterpiece, once crowned the most beautiful home for sale in Illinois by Architectural Digest. Spanning 8.32 private acres of pristine landscaping, this property offers an unmatched combination of seclusion, sophistication, and scenic beauty, with two stunning lakes (Keane Lake & Heather Lake) as its scenic backdrop. Crafted with only the finest materials, every detail of this estate exudes timeless luxury and exclusivity. From the moment you step through the custom walnut double doors into the grand formal entryway, you'll be transported into a world of architectural wonder. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light, while barreled and coffered ceilings, intricate millwork, and a glass-sided turret showcase craftsmanship rarely seen today. The walk-out lower level is an entertainer's dream, featuring a state-of-the-art home theater, poker and billiards room, 6th bedroom/game room, a catering kitchen, radiant heated floors, and a full bar. With an elevator connecting all three levels, every corner of this estate is designed for effortless luxury. The detached coach house, currently used for storage, offers endless potential-imagine a charming guest house, art studio, or additional garage space. Whether you're enjoying tranquil lake views from every angle or marveling at the architectural grandeur, this estate provides a lifestyle that cannot be replicated. A Remarkable Value. Priced at far less than its replacement cost, for the discerning buyer who appreciates one-of-a-kind homes and uncompromising quality, this is an opportunity to own a piece of architectural history at an exceptional value. Schedule your private tour today and experience the pinnacle of elegance and exclusivity.
