A New Chapter for a Barrington Hills Icon: Sold on Keene Lake
There is something truly special about life in Barrington Hills. It’s a community defined by its sprawling landscapes, equestrian roots, and architectural masterpieces that offer a sense of privacy and grandeur rarely found elsewhere. However, unique estates of this scale often require a unique approach to find the right buyer.
I am thrilled to announce that the magnificent lakeside estate on Keene Lake has officially sold.
While this home is undeniably breathtaking—boasting a main residence and a full guest house connected by an incredible indoor pool retreat—it had previously spent time on the market with another agent without a successful result. Large-scale properties with specialized amenities, like this home's 20x40 ft indoor pool and private tennis courts, require more than just a listing; they require a strategy that speaks to the specific lifestyle a buyer is looking for in District 220.
By refocusing the narrative on the home’s "resort-style" potential and its rare position on the shores of Keene Lake, we were able to connect with the right audience and navigate this sale to a successful conclusion.
What Makes This Estate So Special?
The home is a masterclass in grand design, featuring:
- A Private Wellness Retreat: An indoor pool house with cedar walls, a hot tub, and a sauna.
- Generous Proportions: A 5-bedroom main house plus a 4-bedroom coach house, perfect for multi-generational living or grand-scale hosting.
- Lakeside Elegance: Panoramic views from the primary suite and a sunroom that brings the outdoors in with Saltillo tile and arched openings.
- Space for Everything: From the 8-car garage to the finished lower level ready for a media room or workshop.
Selling a home in Barrington Hills is about understanding the nuances of the local market and the high expectations of buyers looking in this prestigious area. It was a privilege to take over the reigns on this listing and deliver the results my clients were waiting for.
