Property Description

A Truly One-of-a-Kind, Irreplaceable Lakefront Estate in Barrington Hills. Opportunities like this simply do not come along twice. Set along an extraordinary 450 feet of pristine shoreline on exclusive, private Hawley Lake, this remarkable estate offers a level of waterfront, privacy, and natural beauty that is virtually impossible to replicate anywhere in the Barrington area. This is more than a home; it is a rare legacy property, offering a private lakeside lifestyle that cannot be duplicated. Custom built for its original owner and offered for the first time, this architecturally distinctive residence presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Barrington Hills' most significant private lakefront estates. Privately situated at the end of a long, tree-lined drive, the estate unfolds across beautifully maintained grounds with mature landscaping, sweeping lawns, and commanding views of the lake. Dramatic rooflines, rhythmic dormers, and natural stone and wood detailing create a timeless, resort-inspired aesthetic. Despite its remarkable seclusion, the property is conveniently located just minutes from the Village of Barrington, Metra access, and major roadways. Inside, expansive, light-filled interiors, beamed ceilings, soaring living spaces, and walls of windows establish a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Nearly every principal room captures beautiful, unobstructed water views, bringing the lake into everyday life and creating a peaceful atmosphere in every season. Designed for both comfortable living and grand-scale entertaining, the residence offers five bedrooms and 6.1 baths, including a spacious kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, an impressive family room with wet bar, formal living and dining rooms, a sunroom, and a richly appointed wood-paneled library. A spectacular indoor pool and hot tub, complete with dedicated lounge areas, create a private year-round retreat. The walk-out lower level adds another dimension to the home's recreational appeal, with a spacious recreation and game room, dual dressing rooms, and direct access to the grounds and lakefront. The main-level primary suite offers a private sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, sweeping lake views, a spa-inspired bath with steam shower and whirlpool, and generous dual dressing areas. The second floor en-suite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for family and guests, while a loft and lounge overlook the dramatic family room below. Outside, an expansive deck opens to the sweeping lawn and the remarkable lakefront beyond. With approximately 450 feet of shoreline on private Hawley Lake, the opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing, paddleboarding, and simply enjoying the tranquility of the water are exceptional. There is no substitute for this property. The extraordinary shoreline, exclusive private-lake setting, architectural scale, and unparalleled sense of privacy make this a truly irreplaceable offering in Barrington Hills. A rare opportunity to acquire a legacy estate, enjoy an extraordinary waterfront lifestyle, and create something uniquely your own in a setting that cannot be recreated.
