Set on 4.54 wooded acres in the sought-after Countryside Lake community, this secluded homesite offers the privacy, scale, and natural beauty rarely found in such a well-established neighborhood. Surrounded by mature trees and abundant wildlife, the property provides an extraordinary setting for a custom residence-whether envisioning a sophisticated modern estate, timeless farmhouse, luxury ranch, or private retreat. There is ample room to thoughtfully incorporate a pool, guest or accessory structures, expansive outdoor living spaces, gardens, or other estate amenities. Beyond the privacy of the homesite, Countryside Lake offers a distinctive lifestyle centered around its private lake. Residents enjoy access to the community boat launch and dock, lakefront park, sandy beach, tennis courts, playground, and year-round community events. The neighborhood also connects conveniently to area bike paths, with access to the Millennium Trail from Hawley Road. Countryside Golf Course and Steeple Chase Golf Club are easily accessible from the surrounding trail network. Located in unincorporated Mundelein, this peaceful wooded setting offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience, with shopping, dining, recreation, and highly regarded schools nearby. The property is not located in a flood plain.

The E, Estate and R-1 Districts are intended to accommodate low-density, large-lot residential development and to ensure the protection of areas that develop in such a manner. These districts are a higher density version of the very-low density RE District. Like the RE District, the E and R-1 Districts are expected to accommodate only a very small amount of the county’s overall housing needs. These districts primarily serve those households who desire to live in low-density estate areas and are willing to assume the costs of doing so. Because of the relatively sparse population in E-zoned and R-1-zoned areas, the county will not give high priority to the provision of public services in the areas. Instead, public service provision by the county will be concentrated in areas where more intense future development is called for by the Regional Framework Plan. The low densities permitted in the E and R-1 Districts generally permit in accordance with applicable Lake County Health Department rules; see Chapter 171 on-site, individual sewage disposal systems and wells, thereby reducing the need for inefficient public expenditures. The E and R-1 Districts are intended to implement and correspond to the Regional Framework Plan’s Residential-Medium Lot future land use designation.
