Some homes impress in photographs. Others must be experienced to understand what they truly are. Set behind a gated entrance on 17.63 private acres along the Chagrin River, this extraordinary stone and timber estate feels like a private mountain-lodge retreat hidden within its own park. A sweeping paved approach and generous guest parking create a grand sense of arrival, while mature woods, trails, pond and river frontage surround the home in peace and privacy. Inside, massive hand-hewn timber elements sourced from Montana, natural woodwork, stone, soaring ceilings and walls of glass create authentic lodge character. The dramatic great room, multiple fireplaces and expansive entertaining spaces flow to terraces, decks and outdoor gathering areas designed for intimate evenings or major events. The main kitchen offers a custom island, granite surfaces, multiple ovens and generous workspace. The remarkable primary wing lives like a private residence within the home, with its own kitchen and dinette, workout room, laundry, office/library spaces, elevator access, dual cedar walk-in closets, dual spa-inspired baths and meditation room. Every bedroom is a true suite. The walkout lower-level guest accommodations feel like upscale mountain-spa suites, with private living areas, kitchenette capability, ensuite baths and direct outdoor access, plus a curved wet bar, recreation areas and full production studio. Outdoors, trails wind toward the river while a gazebo, amphitheater, pond and fire pit create destination spaces across the grounds. Offering 6 bedrooms, 10 baths, 4 fireplaces, 6 garage spaces and more than 19,000 total square feet, this is far more than a large home. The owner reports approximately $11 million invested in creating and improving the property, underscoring how difficult it would be to reproduce at today's asking price. This is a private destination defined by craftsmanship, land, serenity and an experience that must be walked to be fully appreciated.
