About This Home
As of February 2026Set on an exceptional .443-acre parcel in the very heart of downtown Lake Forest, this rare offering presents an extraordinary opportunity to build new amid some of the area's most distinguished multi-million-dollar residences. Mere steps from acclaimed restaurants, charming boutiques, parks, and everyday conveniences-and just moments to Lake Forest High School and the lakefront-this location delivers the ultimate blend of lifestyle, walkability, and long-term value. The existing residence requires substantial renovation and is best suited for redevelopment, allowing a discerning buyer or builder to fully reimagine the site and create a custom home that reflects today's luxury standards while harmonizing with the surrounding estate-caliber properties. With nearly half an acre of prime, level land in one of Lake Forest's most coveted neighborhoods, this is a truly rare chance to secure an irreplaceable homesite where the value is unequivocally in the land and the possibilities are as compelling as the address itself.
