Thoughtfully designed by Wheeler-Kearns Architects and positioned within the natural topography of the Valparaiso Moraine, this architect-designed 10-acre estate offers a rare opportunity to experience exceptional architecture, craftsmanship, and the quiet beauty of its natural surroundings. As the approach winds beneath a canopy of mature trees, the residence gradually comes into view, creating a memorable sense of arrival. The 3,974-square-foot residence offers 3- ensuite bedrooms, 42 baths, a year-round studio with finished heated garage, a heated 3-car garage, and an exceptional climate-controlled Post & Beam Barn Suite. Every structure was carefully integrated into the landscape, creating privacy, flexibility, and a lifestyle rarely found in Northwest Indiana. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows frame long views across prairie, woodland, and the changing seasons while filling the home with natural light. A secluded courtyard connects the residence, studio, and landscape, creating inviting spaces for quiet reflection or entertaining. Inside, soaring ceilings, ash hardwood floors, a Rumford fireplace, handcrafted walnut cabinetry, marble countertops, and premium Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, and Fisher & Paykel appliances reflect thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship. The primary suite enjoys elevated landscape views, a spa-inspired bath, and an extraordinary custom wardrobe suite with dual walk-in closets. The Barn Suite and courtyard studio provide exceptional space for collecting, creating, restoring, wellness, recreation, or simply enjoying beautifully finished surroundings. Surrounded by native prairie, mature woodlands, abundant wildlife, and the changing beauty of every season, the property offers peaceful seclusion just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, the South Shore Line, I-90/I-94, and within the Duneland School District.
