Property details
About 236 Steeplechase Rd
Perched atop nearly six lush acres, this architecturally crafted timber-frame estate is a rare sanctuary where refined living meets sustainable design. With expansive grounds ideal for organic gardens, chickens, horses, goats and more, this property offers the freedom to cultivate a self-sufficient lifestyle-without compromising luxury, beauty, or comfort. From garden to table, this estate embraces a true farm-to-fork lifestyle. Harvest sun-ripened vegetables, gather fragrant herbs, and collect eggs from your own henhouse-then prepare an unforgettable meal to share with guests as wine glasses clink beneath the stars. Surrounded by gently rolling lawns, native wildflowers, and mature hardwoods, the setting offers rare privacy and an immersive connection to nature. Whether you're tending to your gardens, riding horseback along the nearby trails, or enjoying a quiet afternoon beneath the shade of a centuries-old oak, each moment feels like a retreat from the ordinary. As the day fades, gather with loved ones on the bluestone patio, grill a seasonal meal, and enjoy the golden hour as laughter and conversation stretch into the night. Intentionally designed for low-maintenance and energy-efficient living, the home invites you to slow down, spread out, and live with purpose. Crafted from reclaimed Douglas Fir and finished with enduring natural materials, it exudes artisanal craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Each timber beam was carefully selected and hand-joined, offering architectural integrity and visual warmth. From the 1.5-inch thick quarter-sawn red oak floors to custom black walnut doors and trim, every finish reflects a level of care, quality, and authenticity that is increasingly rare. The expansive open-concept post-and-beam layout is both dramatic and welcoming, with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and seamless transitions between rooms. The impressive two-story great room features exposed beams and a grand, yet inviting ambiance, flowing effortlessly into the gourmet kitchen with professional-grade appliances, a generous dining area, and a large enclosed porch-ideal for both elegant entertaining and intimate gatherings. A glass-wrapped atrium offers a peaceful haven for morning tea or indoor gardening and is thoughtfully plumbed for a hot tub. The main level also features a private library or media lounge and a guest ensuite-perfect for in-laws or extended stays. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath, two custom closets, and a private balcony overlooking the grounds, while a separate wing offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a cozy reading nook or playroom. The walk-out lower level provides a large family room, game room, fitness room, wine cellar, tasting studio, turreted music or play space, private guest quarters, full bath, and second laundry. Radiant heated floors span the lower level, main floor, and primary bath, supported by a boiler-based hot water system and insulated R-40 concrete walls. A new DaVinci 50-year composite slate roof enhances both efficiency and enduring value. Outdoors, enjoy the abundance of a 7,000-square-foot irrigated and fenced garden planted with vegetables, perennials, herbs, asparagus, and fruit trees. The oversized two-stall barn with attached paddock is ready livestock, and chickens. There's plenty of room for soccer, a pool, or a sport court too. Located just minutes from award-winning schools, boutique shopping, dining, and the Metra in the charming Village of Barrington-this estate is more than a home; it's a legacy of living well.
