Nestled among Lake Forest’s scenic landscape, this opulent French country estate—listed by Carrie McCormick of @Properties Christie’s International Real Estate—is a beacon of timeless grace with sophisticated design elements and resort-style amenities. Dubbed “The Adler,” the residence’s namesake dates back to its 1914 construction by legendary architect David Adler.

Ideal for entertaining and hosting guests, the 11,000-square-foot home encompasses eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms and three half bathrooms. It boasts a magnificent grand foyer, a parlor, a library, a media room and a stunning kitchen with an additional service kitchen.

The abode is adorned with grand chandeliers, ornate moldings, sprawling 11-foot ceilings and herringbone parquet floors. It also features 24-karat gold Sherle Wagner bathroom fixtures and custom marble throughout.

Luxury amenities include a swimming pool, a spa, a three-car garage, a tennis court and picturesque formal gardens. Views of the lush gardens can be seen from the living and dining rooms.

The library serves as a tranquil sanctuary, complete with elegant paneled walls and ample privacy. The second floor houses all eight bedrooms, while the third floor boasts a speakeasy-inspired bar, a dance room, a sauna and a full bathroom.

Surrounded by mature trees and pristine landscaping, the château is situated in close proximity to boutique shopping and dining destinations, along with beaches, golf courses, biking trails and more. $5,400,000, Carrie McCormick, @Properties Christie's International Real Estate, 773.472.0200, atproperties.com
