Property Description

Experience the distinctive charm of this English Manor-an extraordinary architectural gem that flawlessly unites classic sophistication with exquisite attention to detail. Set on 52 breathtaking acres, this one-of-a-kind estate offers a harmonious balance of sophistication and serenity in a setting that simply cannot be replicated at this price. Nestled in a secluded, park-like environment just an hour and a half north of Chicago, the property feels like a European escape without ever leaving the Midwest. From the moment you enter, the attention to detail is apparent. The interior boasts eight exquisite French limestone fireplaces, each a replica of those found in historic French chateaux and installed by master stone carvers from France and England. Beamed ceilings imported from England and hand-laid limestone and wood floors from France infuse the home with warmth and Old World charm. A team of dedicated European artisans ensured that every finish reflects a commitment to quality and authenticity. The home's structural integrity matches its aesthetic beauty. Built with 12-inch reinforced concrete blocks and 6-inch insulated interior walls, the estate offers exceptional durability and energy efficiency. Radiant heated floors span the entire home, laid over both poured and precast concrete for long-lasting comfort. The exterior and select interiors feature stunning Indiana limestone, while a roof of imported French clay tiles adds to the manor's timeless character. A partially finished walkout basement spans over 7,800 square feet and includes three potential bedrooms, multiple bathrooms (including one finished half-bath), a kitchen, living room, garage, laundry room, and a wine cellar-offering incredible potential for customization. On the garden level, a striking 60-foot domed space awaits, fully furnished and ideal for elegant private gatherings or memorable events. Beyond the manor itself, the estate is a natural paradise. Meandering streams connect multiple pristine ponds teeming with fish, and a terraced hill awaits transformation into a vineyard or orchard. With acres of space for picturesque horseback riding trails, this is a dream setting for equestrian enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Whether you envision a private family retreat, an exclusive corporate getaway, an event venue of unparalleled distinction, or a unique business opportunity such as a private timeshare or second home, this property offers endless possibilities. More than a residence, this is a legacy-an invitation to build something enduring in a setting of rare beauty and tranquility. Embrace the opportunity to own a sanctuary where elegance, nature, and adventure converge-a true piece of paradise to be treasured for generations. Additional home can be built on the 52 acres. Home sold as-is.
