About This Property
Welcome to this enchanting luxury retreat nestled in the heart of
Barrington Hills! Set on 5.75 breathtaking acres, with a barn,
fenced pasture, paddocks, and access to Barrington Hills riding
trails, this one-of-a-kind estate is a dream for nature lovers and
equestrian enthusiasts alike. Crafted with intention and rich in
history, this custom timber frame constructed home is truly one of
a kind. The entire structure showcases reclaimed Douglas Fir beams
that were milled in the late 1800s from wood sourced from original
growth trees dating from the early days of America. Each timber
tells a story, blending heritage with craftsmanship. The frame
itself was meticulously built by the homeowner, adding a rare level
of authenticity and personal artistry to this remarkable residence.
This elegant rustic residence evokes Northwoods charm with soaring
vaulted, wood-paneled and beamed ceilings, a striking turret, and a
thoughtfully designed floor plan that beautifully blends indoor and
outdoor living, perfect for gathering and entertaining. Step
through an arched entry into the dramatic two-story Great Room
where a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the
space. Double doors flank the fireplace, opening to a vaulted
screened porch with panoramic views of the serene landscape. The
seamless flow continues into the dining room, where double glass
doors lead to the bluestone terrace, creating effortless
indoor-outdoor living. The chef's kitchen is designed to impress,
featuring two islands, granite counters, high-end appliances, and
generous prep space. An adjacent office nook, powder room, and
mudroom add convenience, while the main-floor family/media room
offers the perfect setting for cozy movie nights. A true showpiece,
the heated conservatory, with its vaulted glass ceiling and walls
of windows, is ideal for year-round gardening or simply soaking in
postcard-worthy views in every season. A main-floor bedroom with
ensuite bath provides a private retreat for guests. Upstairs, a
stunning staircase with custom wrought iron railing leads to a
balcony overlook and inviting loft sitting area, perfect for
curling up with a favorite book. The luxurious primary suite is
privately situated and features a vaulted wood-beamed ceiling,
private balcony for morning coffee, and a spa-inspired turreted
bath complete with whirlpool tub, dual vanities, and walk-in
shower. Two additional bedrooms with volume, beamed ceilings, a
hall bath, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the
second level. The walk-out lower level expands your living and
entertaining space with a spacious recreation room anchored by a
cozy fireplace and doors to the covered bluestone patio. Multiple
gathering areas include a billiards/game room, playroom, exercise
room, and a charming sitting area just outside the wine room. A

guests. Outdoors, the extraordinary grounds continue to impress

attached garage and new DaVinci composite slate roof (2023) add to
the home's exceptional appeal. Lovingly and meticulously
maintained, this remarkable property offers peaceful privacy with
