Description

Imagine waking up every morning knowing your backyard isn't just a backyard, it's your own private waterfront resort where every day feels like a vacation and every weekend becomes the event everyone hopes to be invited to. Welcome to an extraordinary 11.5 acre luxury estate on the shores of private Lake Greenfield, just one hour South of Chicago, where entertaining isn't something you do occasionally, it's simply a way of life. No public access here. Your boat is in your front yard, fueled and ready. Guests arrive early and stay late because there's always something happening. Some head straight for the water to ski the professional slalom course, while others launch the boats from your private two boat dock, cast a fishing line, paddleboard across the calm morning water, or spend the afternoon kayaking around the lake. Kids race through the ATV trails, challenge each other on the all sports court, or putt around the private mini par 3 golf course before grabbing fresh fruit from your own trees. As the afternoon rolls in, the raised deck stretching across the back of the home becomes the gathering place. Music plays, the smokers are filled with barbecue, conversations flow from the screened porch to the beautifully designed patios, and the sound of laughter mixes with the peaceful waterfront setting. Guests wander the professionally landscaped grounds, admire the elegant hardscape and two sided water fountains, or relax along the 75 feet of sandy beach before jumping back into the lake for another ride. When the sun begins to set, the estate transforms once again. The oversized fire pit becomes the center of attention as family and friends gather beneath the stars sharing stories long into the evening while the lake reflects the glow of the moon. With abundant on site parking and expansive event space, hosting everything from summer celebrations and graduation parties to corporate gatherings of 100 plus and holiday weekends becomes effortless. Inside, the beautiful custom brick and stone ranch offers an open floor plan that naturally brings everyone together. The luxurious primary suite provides a peaceful escape with a jacuzzi tub after a day on the water, while the private office makes working from home as enjoyable as the weekends. The full walkout lower level features a spacious recreation room and kitchenette, making entertaining seamless on every level. The oversized three car garage with an EV charging outlet offers ample room for boats, ATVs, golf carts, and every toy needed to enjoy this incredible lifestyle. Properties like this are almost impossible to duplicate. Offering 100 feet of private waterfront on an all sports lake, unmatched acreage, luxury finishes, endless recreation, and the ability to host unforgettable gatherings, this is far more than a home. Cancel stuffy corporate retreats. You're the event planner now! And your companies gatherings just got amped!!! This is a destination where every holiday is celebrated, every summer is unforgettable, and every day feels like the best day of the year.
