About this home

Nestled in the heart of Lake Forest's coveted North Shore this exceptional 5-acre wooded parcel presents a rare opportunity. City of Lake Forest will approve 4 individual lots plus water detention pond, min of 40,000SF per lot (buyer will need to go through the process with Lake Forest). Tucked away at the end of the esteemed Conway Farms community, the property offers an unparalleled combination of privacy and prestige. For developers and builders the fundamentals couldn't be stronger: Lake Forest continues to see consistent demand for high-end new construction fueled by its nationally ranked schools, private residents-only beach, and historic downtown anchored by Market Square's dining, boutiques, and year-round events. A thoughtfully designed enclave here would capture discerning buyers seeking privacy, prestige, and modern living in a timeless setting. Ideally located just minutes from I-294/94 Highway 41 and Metra, this property blends natural beauty with seamless access to Chicago and the North Shore. Please view attached survey. Conceptual Site Plan is Available Upon Request.
