Additional features include a remote-controlled gas fireplace, whole-home surround sound with individual room controls, security system with glass-break sensors and door monitoring, authentic brick-floored mudroom, two HVAC systems (one replaced approximately two years ago). The beautifully landscaped grounds include mature trees and a 20-zone irrigation system to maintain the lush setting year-round.

The detached 3,300+ square-foot garage provides space for four vehicles and includes an unfinished 1,400-square-foot upper level ready to become a guest suite, home office, studio, multigenerational living space, income-producing apartment, or even a boutique event venue (subject to county approval).

For those seeking even more privacy, the seller may consider selling the adjoining five-acre parcel with the home, creating the opportunity for an extraordinary family compound or expanded equestrian estate. The parcel will not be sold separately. A new architectural shingle roof was installed in 2024 over a peel-and-stick waterproof membrane for enhanced protection and potential insurance savings.

Properties of this caliber are rarely available in Lake County. Offering timeless architecture, unmatched craftsmanship, incredible waterfront views, skiable lake access, equestrian and hobby farm potential, and endless possibilities, this is more than a home—it's a legacy estate built to be treasured for generations.
