Property Description

Located at the corner of Old Mill Road and Telegraph Road, this exceptional homesite offers a beautiful natural setting, generous frontage, and ample space to create a private residence tailored to your lifestyle. The property encompasses approximately 69,260 square feet and can accommodate a substantial custom home while preserving the character and privacy afforded by its mature trees and natural surroundings. Preliminary due diligence indicates the property is not located within a floodplain. There does not appear to be any known ADID jurisdictional wetlands based upon Lake County data, however interested parties should do their own due diligence. Conveniently located near Everett Elementary School, parks, shopping, dining, and transportation, the property offers a rare combination of space, natural beauty, and accessibility. Large buildable parcels of this size are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Lake Forest, making this an exceptional opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind home in one of the North Shore's most desirable communities.
