Welcome to Ironwood, a historic lakefront estate on 3.44 acres with 127 of private beach on Lake Michigan. This 9300 sf home is set in a park-like setting with mature trees, perennial gardens, and open green space. The expansiveness and variety of the land combined with views of the lake make this gated estate an oasis of breathtaking natural beauty and peacefulness. The custom built home was designed by noted architect, John Hancock, and has an appealing contemporary/traditional style with four distinct connecting structures accommodating all combinations of activities and lifestyle choices. Architectural details include elegant millwork and trim, walls and ceilings done in painted wood throughout and 5 stone fireplaces creating a wonderful sense of warmth and tranquility. The luxury of space is evident in all the generous sized rooms, and the abundance of windows allows for the feel of living very privately in the heart of a park-like preserve. Visit, breathe, relax and experience the sense of security and timelessness that is Ironwood. First time on the market. Only 75 miles from downtown Chicago.
