600 Battles Rd Gates Mills, OH 44040

Cleveland as many of us know, is steeped in a rich history of lavish beginnings & wealthy tycoons. Gates Mills, of course was the setting where some of the most prolific families dwelled, & this special home has seen more stories than we will ever know. By 1920s, wealthy Clevelanders attracted to the Valley by its natural beauty and spectacular views, began assembling property for their estates. In 60's the van Heeckerens renamed the estate Barlham Farms. The estate became a well-regarded breeding farm of dressage horses, which were of Olympic class. Recently, Barlham Farms was again sold to Roman Coppola, son of Francis Ford Coppola, father & son, vintners & movie producers. To bring his project full circle, he wanted to fully renovate this special property, & create a home for today’s family. This would include modern amenities, without losing the original Pre-War design & character. Your senses will awake not from one specific detail, but from something you really never see: a home that has every modern comfort you need, but also feeds your soul with soft whispers of the past. You feel that your head and heart have both been satisfied, & are in perfect harmony. You feel at home. Property includes carriage house w/2 bed 1.5bath apartment, 4 stall barn, 120K SF barn w/indoor arena, 12 stalls & view rm. The barns are all timber, which is extremely rare. Additional 6.1 acres available which include pond. House faces east and enjoys the sunset over the valley every night.
