Property Description

Opportunity of a lifetime to own this spectacular Lake Forest estate, spanning over 5.27 acres with 570 feet of Lake Michigan frontage! After four years of construction, incorporating everything the most discerning buyer would expect in new construction, this estate was completed in 2019. Featuring a protected cove beach, 2 boat launches, a fabulous pool, spa, boathouse and garage space for 22 cars, this home is the epitome of luxury living! Drive through the gated southern entrance to the boathouse or use the opulent historic monumental staircase, enjoying the details of the grand marble fountain and stairs to the boathouse from the original Harold F. and Edith Rockefeller McCormick estate. This magnificent home boasts 10,000 SF of sophisticated and stately living space above grade, 5,000 SF of exquisitely finished lower-level space and 6,000 SF of beautifully finished garage space for 16 cars, with elevator access to all 4 levels. As you enter the grounds of this breathtaking estate, there is a circular stone drive that leads to the stone forecourt w/ two, 3-car garages and a driveway to the underground 16 car garage, all w/ snow melt systems. This stone and brick home has a slate roof w/ custom copper gutters & downspouts, Marvin windows & doors, high ceilings, deluxe designer lighting, smart house technology, geothermal heating and cooling w/ radiant heat floors on all 4 levels, and a back staircase w/ access to all levels. The outdoor amenities are beyond compare and include a pool with deck jets, diving board and under water speakers, a spa with a fountain and 2 fire bowls, an outdoor kitchen and bluestone terraces w/ 3 loggias, one with a TV and fireplace. The custom 3 1/2 inch thick white oak front door with sidelights and artistic wrought iron detail opens to the foyer with limestone floors and 8 custom, concealed wood paneled closets. The handsome library w/ walnut bookshelves, library ladder, intricate millwork, and fireplace has French doors that open to the back loggia with panoramic views of the lake and access to the northern 3 car garage with separate loggia. The east loggia connects to the living room and overlooks the pool, expansive grounds and Lake Michigan. The living room opens to the elegant dining room, which is adjacent to the breakfast room and exquisite Christopher Peacock kitchen and butler's pantry w/ white high gloss cabinetry w/ walnut interiors, and thick quartzite countertops. The massive island has Bahia granite countertops, refrigerator drawers and seating for 4. La Cornue, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances complete this gourmet kitchen which is open to the stunning family room.
