A rare opportunity to experience one of Lake Forest's most treasured settings. Set on more than two private acres and bordering the Derwen Mawr Nature Preserve, this exceptional estate offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find-where nature, recreation, privacy, and community come together in perfect balance. Imagine mornings with coffee overlooking the preserve as deer quietly wander through the backyard, peaceful walks along miles of scenic trails, and the convenience of being just a short walk from schools, downtown Lake Forest, and the beach. For years, this property has been a gathering place for family and friends-summer afternoons around the pool, friendly tennis matches that stretch into the evening, children creating adventures in the charming playhouse, and gardens that bring color and beauty throughout the seasons. The expansive grounds offer a sense of peace and privacy rarely found so close to town. The timeless brick residence offers more than 8,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, featuring seven bedrooms, gracious gathering areas, and seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining that opens to the terrace and pool. A four-car garage with a three-room apartment above provides exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private retreat. More than a home, this is a place where lasting memories are made-a private sanctuary that combines the beauty of nature with the best of Lake Forest living.
