Rare 4.54-Acre Estate Homesite in Countryside Lake! A rare opportunity to create a truly exceptional private estate in one of the area's most desirable lake communities. Set on 4.54 wooded acres in the sought-after Countryside Lake community, this secluded homesite offers the privacy, scale, and natural beauty rarely found in such a well-established neighborhood. Surrounded by mature trees and abundant wildlife, the property provides an extraordinary setting for a custom residence-whether envisioning a sophisticated modern estate, timeless farmhouse, luxury ranch, or private retreat. There is ample room to thoughtfully incorporate a pool, guest or accessory structures, expansive outdoor living spaces, gardens, or other estate amenities. Beyond the privacy of the homesite, Countryside Lake offers a distinctive lifestyle centered around its private lake. Residents enjoy access to the community boat launch and dock, lakefront park, sandy beach, tennis courts, playground, and year-round community events. The neighborhood also connects conveniently to area bike paths, with access to the Millennium Trail from Hawley Road. Countryside Golf Course and Steeple Chase Golf Club are easily accessible from the surrounding trail network. Located in unincorporated Mundelein, this peaceful wooded setting offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience, with shopping, dining, recreation, and highly regarded schools nearby. The property is not located in a flood plain. For a discerning buyer or builder, this is more than an opportunity to purchase acreage-it is an opportunity to create a legacy property within an established private lake community.
