Set on 1.1 stunning acres with pond frontage in Lake Forest's coveted Meadowood Park subdivision, this new construction residence offers over 5,100 square feet of thoughtfully composed living space. Three gabled volumes, cladded in vertical wood siding beneath dark standing -seam metal roofing, reinterpret the classic barn form for modern living--anchored by a full-height stone chimney and wrapped in walls of glass that draw the pond and mature landscape into every principal room. This is architecture with presence - a home built for living well. Inside, the highest-end finishes set the tone throughout: wide-plank white oak flooring and extensive natural stone create a warm, elevated palette from room to room. Two luxury primary bedroom suites - one on the main level, one upstairs - offer rare flexibility, while three additional upper-level bedrooms each feature a private bath and walk-in closet, for a total of five bedroom suites and six full baths. The open first floor is designed for both everyday living and entertaining: a gourmet kitchen with duel islands and walk-in pantry, a generous dining area, a private office, and dedicated mud and laundry rooms. An attached 3-car heated garage adds year-round convenience. At the heart of the home, a soaring two-story living room opens to a partially covered patio, blurring the line between indoors and out. The finished lower level adds flexible space for work, play,,or study, plus a sixth full bath. Built for the future, the home includes 400-amp electrical service, solar- and EV-ready infrastructure, and a whole-house fire-sprinkler system. Set against Lake Forest's exceptional schools and a tranquil, amenity-rich location, this is new construction defined by architectural intention and everyday flexibility..
