Property Description
Welcome to the Minkler Estate - a property unlike any other in Chicagoland. Surrounded by beautiful wildflowers, dense woods, and secluded prairie, this extraordinary 36-acre countryside haven offers the perfect blend of privacy, sophistication, and natural beauty. At the heart of the estate lies a stately 12,000+ sq ft English manor, meticulously renovated from the ground up to combine modern elegance with rustic charm. From barn wood ceilings to stone fireplaces, every detail exudes warmth and character. The chef's kitchen dazzles with marble countertops and high-end appliances, while the primary suite features a private balcony with sweeping views and a spa-inspired bath. Designed for grand living and entertaining, the home also boasts a great room, media room, billiards room, wine cellar, golf simulator, and home theater. With six bedrooms, seven full baths, and two half baths, the residence is as functional as it is breathtaking. Unmatched Outdoor Lifestyle The grounds are a dream come true. A dazzling infinity pool, ornate patio, and pool house create a resort-like retreat, while a sport court accommodates both pickleball and basketball. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the horse barn with six stables, paired with an attached garage that fits up to 20 vehicles or off-road toys. A separate, charming historic barn offers a unique venue for weddings, graduations, and celebrations. Outdoors, you'll also find a private shooting range, a chipping golf range, and a scenic 3-acre pond, ideal for fishing or cruising with an electric boat. Guest & Staff Accommodations In addition to the main manor, the estate includes a newer 2,000 sq ft detached home, perfect for extended family, guests, or a house manager. The attached main garage comfortably houses at least eight vehicles-with room for lifts and more. The Minkler Estate is more than a home-it's a lifestyle. From private retreats and equestrian living to lavish entertaining and unforgettable events, this rare offering provides opportunities that simply cannot be found elsewhere in Chicagoland. Welcome to the Minkler Estate, there is nothing like it in Illinois.
