A rare marriage of history, architectural artistry, and modern 2026 luxury, Villa Turicum is more than an estate-it is a legendary landmark that helped define the grandeur & enduring legacy of Chicago's North Shore. Truly an extraordinary state-of-the-art continuation of a Rockefeller legacy set on more than five breathtaking acres with over 570 feet of private Lake Michigan frontage, making this the largest lakefront estate ever to be offered to the public. The experience begins at a newly protected cove beach, complete with two boat launches and a boathouse, where the dramatic approach from Lake Michigan towards the estate unfolds as you ascend up the original Italian-inspired curved terraced stairways to the historic grounds. Admiring the famous iconic shell basin fountain & a whimsical piece of Edith Rockefeller's legacy-her famed alligator sculpture, guarded by two beautifully carved pelicans- you reach the top of the bluff with stunning views of the 7-year-young newly built luxury compound in the distance. With the endless blue waters as the breathtaking backdrop, the manicured grounds lead to a spectacular resort-level pool, outdoor kitchen & separate stone spa elegantly accented by a sculptural lion's head fountain; this is the real front door entry to this 20,000 square feet of finished space masterpiece. With incredible unobstructed panoramic lake views from the entire East side, this open concept floorplan is all about relaxed luxury. The handsome walnut paneled foyer, limestone floors sprinkled with golden-hued stones imported from Jerusalem, accent the custom arched double doors & intricate wrought-iron curved staircase. Your own RL Polo lounge-inspired library feels like your ultimate private club, opening directly to the bluestone loggia with outdoor fireplace & spa area. Sun-drenched living room flows seamlessly into the elegant dining as the wall of French doors keeps Lake Michigan front and center. Tailored white Christopher Peacock kitchen with reclaimed wood ceiling beams and massive island in hue blue/grey quartzite organically blends with the lake and is paired with the bes of the the best: La Cornue, Miele, Waterworks, Sub-Zero. Breakfast room flows right into the cozy step-down family room with a coffered ceiling, FP, and wet bar. Take the elevator to the second floor where the primary suite takes full advantage of its lakefront setting. French doors open to a private bluestone balcony overlooking Lake Michigan, 2 separate custom closets and a luxe spa bath create a true private retreat. Four additional bedroom suites, each with their own personality, are beautifully finished with exquisite marble baths and outdoor access to enjoy lake views all year long. 2nd laundry room with 3 washers & 3 dryers off the 2nd staircase down to auxiliary mudroom area. And then there is the spectacular lower level with a wellness wing equipped gym, custom spa boutique with RIVA jetted tub, overhead rain shower, fireplace, steam shower and sauna. It keeps going with a 16-seat theater, billards room, lounge/club wet bar, joined by an impressive wine room with glass views of the underground 16-car garage with separate drive-up to snowmelt stone motor court framed by two three-car garages. The replication cost of just the home alone today is over $17m, as the civil engineering was that of a commercial-level build. Now add the 570 private ft. of lakefront on 5 acres, the resort outdoor hardscaped grounds, and then the amazing historic remenets. All of this is why Villa Turicum represents the pinnacle of lakefront luxury at an undeniable value, as this will trade generational hands to someone who cherishes and values the new build but embraces the history of owning a legendary piece of the North Shore. Villa Turicum defines the phrase "one of one"!

TAKES OUR BREATH AWAY! For agents representing discerning luxury buyers, Shagbark is the most extraordinary offering to come to the North Shore. Walter Frazier's celebrated 1938 architectural masterpiece, Shagbark, comes to market following a six-year, no-detail-overlooked re-mastery of the entire estate. Shagbark blends grand architecture and bygone craftsmanship with the efficiency and reliability of all new infrastructure and interiors. This isn't another beautiful Lake Forest Grand Dame who's seen better days, this is a breathtaking example of a renovation. Hidden in plain sight on 11 acres (3.5 acres of irrigated grounds buffered by 7.5 acres of tax incentivized native prairie), Shagbark encompasses 11,000 square feet of absolute perfection. The residence offers six bedrooms, eight full baths, and three half baths, including two primary suites, one on the main level. At the heart of the home is a bespoke Clive Christian kitchen featuring a fireplace, Baccarat chandeliers, a custom La Cornue Chateau Grand Palais 180 range, and Miele appliances. Every bed, bath and inch of space has been renovated and beautifully finished. Seven fireplaces (six have been renovated to dual fuel, gas or wood). Additional highlights include a 600-gallon saltwater aquarium, gift-wrap room, whole-property RO water system, resort-style pool, half basketball court, 28 zones of indoor and outdoor audio, and 18 wireless high speed access points. The interiors, designed by Joey Leicht Designs and JTM Creative, are extraordinary. Even more compelling, the estate is offered fully furnished with the curated collection of designer furniture from Ebanista, Holly Hunt, Dorya, Gracie, Baccarat, Ralph Lauren Home, Baker Furniture and other distinguished makers. The estate's major systems have been comprehensively modernized, including plumbing, electrical, and mechanical infrastructure. The renovated Ludowici clay tile roof will require little more than routine maintenance for decades to come. A former kennel has been transformed into a Canyon Ranch-inspired fitness center with spa bath/steam. A restored greenhouse connects to a sophisticated cigar lounge. Renowned landscape architect, John Mariani, reimagined the grounds with magnificent hardscapes, garden rooms, cutting gardens, and the addition of more than 200 mature trees, creating remarkable beauty and privacy. The approach itself is unforgettable. A half-mile driveway winds through mature woodlands before revealing the estate's gates. Forest & Bluff magazine (May 2026) described the arrival as "stepping into a fairytale." A stand of magnificent Century-old oak trees greets your arrival, as if to prepare you for the many jaw dropping moments that unfold at Shagbark. Shagbark's history is as compelling as its architecture. Originally built for James Rankin Getz and Betsy Needham Getz, prominent figures in Lake Forest social and philanthropic circles, the estate remained in the Getz family for more than sixty years. Getz was instrumental in the creation of the Village of Mettawa in 1960. Adjacent to Lake Forest, the Village of Mettawa's financial structure is the most coveted municipal set-up in Illinois, and one of its best-kept secrets. By living in The Village, you're in Illinois' sole tax haven (with access to the best public schools in the state). Mettawa operates like a private holding company on behalf of its 230 residences: collecting sales tax revenue from Lake Forest Oasis, Costco and Grainger, it then pays an annual cash dividend to its residents in the form of a real estate tax rebate-- $12,000 rebated to Shagbark in 2025. Illinois' Conservation Stewardship Program is in place on the prairie area, further reducing real estate taxes. Shagbark embodies extraordinary taste, elegance, and stewardship. A magnificent refuge meticulously reimagined for the next generation.

On the market for the first time in nearly 50 years, the historic Phelps Kelley House is one of Lake Bluff's most significant estate properties. Designed in 1927 by noted Chicago architect Ambrose Cramer, a protege of David Adler, this Tudor Revival masterpiece was originally part of the historic "Stonebridge" estate. The 9.35-acre property is elegantly situated at the end of a long, private, tree-lined drive, and features a pond, rolling lawn, mature trees, gardens, a 7,383-square-foot main residence with meticulously preserved interiors, and a detached 5-car garage with a full coach house apartment above. Across five decades, one family has carefully stewarded the character of this home, preserving its original grandeur through its stone floors, carved millwork, wood paneling, intricate moldings, tall casement windows, and generous ceiling heights. Cramer carefully planned the floorplan for gracious living and entertaining. A grand entry leads to expansive formal living and dining rooms-each with fireplaces and French doors opening to an expansive terrace overlooking verdant gardens and the pool beyond. A paneled sunroom offers a quiet retreat with views of the grounds and lends itself perfectly to a sun-filled private office. Service areas are thoughtfully configured for ease: a large butler's pantry with extensive vintage cabinetry connects the dining room to the kitchen, which adjoins a sunlit breakfast room oriented toward the pool. A spacious family room provides yet another vantage point to appreciate the property's natural beauty. Additional first-floor conveniences include a large laundry room, back staircase, and discreet storage integrated throughout. Five bedrooms and six full baths complete the second floor, including a primary suite that functions as its own private wing with dual baths, multiple closets, and a dressing room rich with period character. Two additional bedrooms and 1.1 baths on the first floor offer ideal space for guests or multi-generational living. The lower level includes a powder bath and abundant storage space, but could also be converted into a future recreation room. The property's park-like grounds elevate the estate into a true retreat that feels worlds away. Outdoor amenities include a swimming pool, greenhouse, and a prior tennis court site that provides exceptional potential for a new court or custom outdoor recreation. Meandering paths encourage exploration, while open lawns and a broad terrace facilitate gatherings of any scale. Adding to the estate's pastoral charm, the current owners maintain beehives on the property for small-batch honey production. The greenhouse, beehives, and expanses of lawn and garden reinforce the feeling of escape that a private country estate provides while being only minutes from Lake Bluff's beloved community fabric: downtown's charming shops and dining, the Metra station, Sunrise Beach, highly rated schools, outstanding parks, and the town's renowned Fourth of July celebration. A once-in-a-generation offering, the Phelps Kelley House represents the finest expression of North Shore heritage. It is an estate in the truest sense, meticulously preserved and ready to begin its next chapter.

The pool, spa, tennis court, and sauna all are just the side features that bring this magnificent lifestyle home to life, as David Adler designed is country luxury estate with one thing in mind...a destination for all to enjoy. His one primary focus with his interiors was "proportions"- always wanting his rooms to have volume with soaring ceilings but still feel intimate. He finished these spaces with endless sets of French doors bringing the gardens inside, and exquisite original details from intricate millwork to Versailles and herringbone parquet floors. The oversized reception hall immediately sets the tone, opening through 10-foot doorways to the spectacular great room where walls of French doors, handcrafted millwork & grand chandeliers frame the endless terraces & gardens beyond. Sun-drenched entertaining spaces flow effortlessly from the living to the dining room, richly paneled library and sunroom, while the Chef's kitchen, oversized butler's pantry and sunny breakfast room make the house equally suited for everyday living.
