Plainfield, IL

This spectacular lakefront residence in the highly sought-after Lakelands Subdivision offers true resort-style living on a rare 1.14-acre cul-de-sac corner lot. Perfectly positioned on the quieter, more private side of the lake, this exceptional property enjoys breathtaking views of the natural shoreline and sparkling water from nearly every room. One of only a handful of homes with water views from both the front and rear of the property, this home provides an unmatched setting for boating, fishing, swimming, paddleboarding, sunset cruises, and year-round enjoyment right from your own backyard. A truly unique feature of this property is the expansive 1.14-acre homesite, offering ample space to create the ultimate outdoor retreat. There is plenty of room to add a luxury inground pool, outdoor kitchen, firepit, or resort-style entertaining area while still maintaining generous green space and unobstructed lake views. Opportunities to own a lakefront property with this much usable land are exceptionally rare.
