Why you’ll love it
A singular opportunity to create a legacy estate in exclusive Whitehall Meadows. The approach off Ridge Road is a winding streetscape lined with distinguished custom residences. Turning onto Whitehall Lane feels like entering a private enclave and will serve just three other homes. This 1.82-acre homesite enjoys a coveted south-facing rear yard with a mature wooded area anchoring the southeast corner of the property. Nearby protected open space provides a remarkably peaceful setting. Lake Forest Open Land's West Skokie Nature Preserve is just beyond the Broadsmoore Drive cul-de-sac. Scenic walking trails through prairie and savanna and abundant wildlife can be enjoyed year-round. Significant due diligence has already been completed for the benefit of the next owner, including soil testing, site and topographical surveys, tree mapping and preliminary work addressing key wetlands considerations with the City. This valuable groundwork reduces uncertainty, helps preserve the property's important natural features, and allows a purchaser to move more efficiently into the design, approval and permitting process. Compromised of seven homesites, this community offers a combination of privacy, natural beauty and convenience in one of Lake Forest's most desirable settings. Estate-sized homesites of this caliber have become increasingly rare in Lake Forest. Bring your architect and builder to create a custom residence in this exceptional location.
