42917 N Brighton Farm Rd.

Where peace & quiet... meet privacy. Tired of being confined by tight lot lines and cookie cutter homes? Ready to get away from suburban sprawl and the sound of blasting leaf blowers? Ready to breathe fresh air on 5 open acres of prairie and forest with nature as your backdrop and soundtrack? Exhale. Relax and welcome to an architectural jewel boasting over 8000sqft of quality newer construction less than 1 hour from Chicago. Custom built in 2008 by Owner/Architect, the Estate is the epitome of mountain ranch grandeur meets modern convenience. Upon entry, the 3-story fireplace and reclaimed wooden beam ceilings of the Great Room will take your breath away. Take in the open floorplan with large gourmet Kitchen and generous Dining Room. But the real star of the show is the stunning view of the natural surroundings. Grill & chill on the huge back deck while overlooking the private backyard adjacent to miles of protected forest preserves and riding/hiking trails. The 3,000sqft main level also includes a Primary Suite with steam shower, Family Room, Office with wet bar, and Mudroom/Laundry with access to the 3.5-car attached garage. The 2nd floor includes 4 more bedrooms, full bathroom & cool feature with stairs to a 3rd floor "secret" Playroom. Check out the HUGE sunny lower level with 10ft ceilings and over 3,000sf of space. Enjoy ping pong, video games, circuit training, craft beers or running races. The property is zoned for horses, or you can board at Brighton Farm Stables located at the end of the cul-de-sac. Enjoy miles of hiking/jogging/bridle paths just steps away through the Dutch Gap Forest Preserve. It feels like you're a million miles from everything but you're only minutes from Chain O'Lakes State Park, Antioch Metra train station and a variety of nearby restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. 5 Acres adjacent to Dutch Gap (protected forest preserve) with plenty of room for horse barn, pool or tennis court. Tranquil setting with easy access to expressways leading to Chicago or Milwaukee. Your private sanctuary awaits.
