A David Adler 'La Lanterne' Estate in Lake Bluff, Illinois

This property is listed for $4,250,000 with Jack Comerford of Griffith, Grant & Lackie.

This chateau-style estate looks like it belongs in France, with its port cochere and manicured trees.

Modelled after La Lanterne (the hunting lodge in Versailles), the property was built in 1922 by Chicago-based architect David Adler, the man behind the legendary Crane Estate in Massachusetts, also known as the Great House.

The 5-bedroom, 6+3 bathroom home has been completely updated to modern standards, while preserving the glamour of its bygone era.

Set on a lush and secluded 6 acre lot with gardens, ravines, and lawns, just steps from Lake Michigan, and 45 minutes to Chicago.
