Overview
Welcome to the Minkler Estate - a property unlike any other in Chicagoland. Surrounded by beautiful wildflowers, dense woods, and secluded prairie, this extraordinary 36-acre countryside haven offers the perfect blend of privacy, sophistication, and natural beauty. At the heart of the estate lies a stately 12,000+ sq ft English manor, meticulously renovated from the ground up to combine modern elegance with rustic charm. From barn wood ceilings to stone fireplaces, every detail exudes warmth and character. The chef's kitchen dazzles with marble countertops and high-end appliances, while the primary suite features a private balcony with sweeping views and a spa-inspired bath.

Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the horse barn with six stables, paired with an attached garage that fits up to 20 vehicles or off-road toys. A separate, charming historic barn offers a unique venue for weddings, graduations, and celebrations. Outdoors, you'll also find a private shooting range, a chipping golf range, and a scenic 3-acre pond, ideal for fishing or cruising with an electric boat. Guest & Staff Accommodations In addition to the main manor, the estate includes a newer 2,000 sq ft detached home, perfect for extended family, guests, or a house manager. The attached main garage comfortably houses at least eight vehicles-with room for lifts and more. The Minkler Estate is more than a home-it's a lifestyle.
