Lake Forest, Illinois, has long been a discreet and convenient haven for Chicago's wealthy elite. One elegant home is rumored to have inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, and just off of Lake Michigan, another of the charming town's plummiest properties is now for sale for $15 million, a lot of money to be sure, but arguably a fraction of what it might cost in Miami, Los Angeles, or the Hamptons. In addition to a grand, carefully updated 120-year-old main house that's covered in vines, there's a one-of-a-kind red-brick pool house and a spacious guest house across nine painstakingly planned and impeccably maintained acres that comprise 21 outdoor "rooms." Meanwhile, in Vancouver, Washington, a car collector custom-built a sleek and eye-catching yet modestly sized residence overlooking the Columbia River that includes a nearly 4,000-square-foot auto gallery. |
