Set apart from any other Chicagoland estate, Hidden Ponds encompasses 70+ private acres in the Village of Barrington Hills. This breathtaking setting of rolling countryside, mature forests, two ponds and magnificent gardens provides the perfect backdrop for this classic English Country Manor home. A great deal of thought, love and planning was put into developing the property and building this majestic 30,000 sq. ft., 8-bedroom residence. Attention to detail and architectural hallmarks include Brazilian walnut floors, limestone, cathedral, and vaulted ceilings, 5 fireplaces, multiple staircases, an elevator, and slate roof. The gated entry, a long winding driveway and heavily landscaped motor court provides a breathtaking approach to the home. While grand in many ways, the home boasts a warm welcoming feel combined with the amenities to entertain on a grand scale. Living spaces were designed to flow and invite family and guests to gather and enjoy this exceptional setting. There are a bevy of refined details including the greatest of Great Rooms with a 30-ft ceiling highlighting massive architectural trusses, walnut paneling, a limestone fireplace and a wall of windows and French doors that draw you to the terrace overlooking the main pond. A Dining Room of grandiose proportions is warmed by a two-sided fireplace shared with the Foyer plus three butler's pantries to assist in all of your entertaining needs. The Kitchen was designed with Old English charm and features chef grade appliances, timeless furniture-style cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a raised hearth stone fireplace. The adjacent Family Room merges well with the solarium-style windows while reclaimed beams top off both rooms. A private hall leads to the expansive first floor Primary Suite with its own terrace overlooking the grounds. Upstairs, the second floor offers a Library overlooking the Great Room, five-ensuite bedrooms with fabulous vistas of the ponds, an in-law/nanny suite with a separate entrance and extensive storage spaces. With approximately 9,000 sq. ft., the lower level boasts an English Pub with a handcrafted bar, a walk-in wine cellar, Billiards/Recreation room, an arcade room, movie theater, a generously sized two-bedroom guest suite, a massage room plus a fully equipped exercise room and a full-sized gymnasium. The gym is outfitted with scoreboards for basketball, room for multiple pickleball nets or volleyball and has also hosted large parties and charitable events. There is also a large pool & spa plus a cabana, a 6-car attached garage plus an expansive 4,400+ sq. ft. showroom building ready for your hobbies or collections. Bordered by horse farms and the Hill 'N Dale 250-acre preserve, the property exudes tranquility and solitude. Surrounded by a rural community with a mission for conservation and wide-open spaces, yet only 40 miles northwest of the city, minutes to the expressway and easy access to O'Hare, this location delivers a combination of accessibility & privacy and an unmatched natural setting with a home of epic quality and artistry.
