Welcome to this enchanting luxury retreat nestled in the heart of Barrington Hills! Set on five point seventy-five 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 eighteen hundreds 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.

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.
