Pine Lake without the crowd. This is the rare bluff property with lake views and beach access -- where you hear birds instead of boats. An expansive single-family home on 0.72 acres of elevated land, framed by 100-year-old oaks, with a permanent nature preserve as your neighbor on one side. The lake is visible. The beach is steps away. The neighbors are not. The story is one of a kind: originally the historic Pine Lake Hotel, moved to this site, expanded with a 1990s addition, and fully reimagined with many recent renovations. 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, two full kitchens, two laundry sets, and two HVAC systems -- all under one roof as a single flexible residence. Inside, the lower level houses a built-in cedar sauna, a dedicated audio recording studio with full acoustic treatment, and a video/YouTube studio with acoustic ceiling and lighting infrastructure. The upstairs bathroom features a Japanese soaking tub. The main level living room is anchored by a Scandinavian wood-burning stove with chimney. An outdoor Hot Springs spa sits off the deck, and a hidden 200 sqft loft tucks above the addition. A large marble bathroom serves the lower level. Outside: brand new continuous-flow well, brand new furnace, fully heated detached garage as a separate building with workshop capacity, multi-level deck overlooking the framed lake view, and 100-year-old oak canopy that can't be replicated. A buyer steps into a finished home with rare permanent features, not a project. Built for the buyer who values privacy over density, character over cookie-cutter, and turnkey craftsmanship over years of renovation. 90 minutes from Chicago. Lake views, beach access, permanent preserve. One expansive home. Many possibilities.
