A rare marriage of history, architectural artistry, and modern 2026
luxury, Villa Turicum is more than an estate-it is a legendary
landmark that helped define the grandeur & enduring legacy of
Chicago's North Shore. Truly an extraordinary state-of-the-art
continuation of a Rockefeller legacy set on more than five
breathtaking acres with over 570 feet of private Lake Michigan
frontage, making this the largest lakefront estate ever to be
offered to the public. The experience begins at a newly protected
cove beach, complete with two boat launches and a boathouse, where
the dramatic approach from Lake Michigan towards the estate unfolds
as you ascend up the original Italian-inspired curved terraced
stairways to the historic grounds. Admiring the famous iconic shell
basin fountain & a whimsical piece of Edith Rockefeller's
legacy-her famed alligator sculpture, guarded by two beautifully
carved pelicans- you reach the top of the bluff with stunning views
of the 7-year-young newly built luxury compound in the distance.
With the endless blue waters as the breathtaking backdrop, the
manicured grounds lead to a spectacular resort-level pool, outdoor
kitchen & separate stone spa elegantly accented by a sculptural
lion's head fountain; this is the real front door entry to this
20,000 square feet of finished space masterpiece. With incredible
unobstructed panoramic lake views from the entire East side, this
open concept floorplan is all about relaxed luxury. The handsome
walnut paneled foyer, limestone floors sprinkled with golden-hued
stones imported from Jerusalem, accent the custom arched double
doors & intricate wrought-iron curved staircase. Your own RL Polo
lounge-inspired library feels like your ultimate private club,
opening directly to the bluestone loggia with outdoor fireplace &
spa area. Sun-drenched living room flows seamlessly into the
elegant dining as the wall of French doors keeps Lake Michigan
front and center. Tailored white Christopher Peacock kitchen with
reclaimed wood ceiling beams and massive island in hue blue/grey
quartzite organically blends with the lake and is paired with the
bes of the the best: La Cornue, Miele, Waterworks, Sub-Zero.
Breakfast room flows right into the cozy step-down family room with
a coffered ceiling, FP, and wet bar. Take the elevator to the
second floor where the primary suite takes full advantage of its
lakefront setting. French doors open to a private bluestone balcony
overlooking Lake Michigan, 2 separate custom closets and a luxe spa
bath create a true private retreat. Four additional bedroom suites,
each with their own personality, are beautifully finished with
exquisite marble baths and outdoor access to enjoy lake views all
year long. 2nd laundry room with 3 washers & 3 dryers off the 2nd
staircase down to auxiliary mudroom area. And then there is the
spectacular lower level with a wellness wing equipped gym, custom
spa boutique with RIVA jetted tub, overhead rain shower, fireplace,
steam shower and sauna. It keeps going with a 16-seat theater,
billards room, lounge/club wet bar, joined by an impressive wine
room with glass views of the underground 16-car garage with
separate drive-up to snowmelt stone motor court framed by two
three-car garages. The replication cost of just the home alone
today is over $17m, as the civil engineering was that of a
commercial-level build. Now add the 570 private ft. of lakefront on
5 acres, the resort outdoor hardscaped grounds, and then the
amazing historic remenets. All of this is why Villa Turicum
represents the pinnacle of lakefront luxury at an undeniable value,
as this will trade generational hands to someone who cherishes and
values the new build but embraces the history of owning a legendary
piece of the North Shore. Villa Turicum defines the phrase "one of
one"!
