Historic 9 bedroom estate on world's largest chain of lakes

Indian Point Manor was named after the Indian statue at the SW corner of the property overlooking Catfish Lake. The property was originally built by former Chicago Mayor Edward Kelly in 1929. The mayor and his wife carefully and meticulously planned the property to include such items as a projection room for the theater, a two boat wet boathouse, a great room with 31’ cathedral ceilings and a carriage house above the garage for his security detail.

Indian Point Manor is a massive 9 bedroom house with modern updates and a rich history. Rental of the Manor includes the use of the boathouse with an upper-level game room, a private lookout over the lake and a full sized tennis court and the grounds surrounding. An outdoor fire pit and grilling area are also located next to the main house among the meticulously groomed yard.

The main house is comprised of two levels of stunning architecture and luxurious comforts, bathed in warm light from wall to ceiling windows throughout the main level. The great room is the central hub of the home with 31’ cathedral ceiling, huge stone fireplace, piano, adjustable seating arrangements with large LOVESAC couch and state of the art 85” TV with theater sound. Relax and play board games, enjoy a fire in the wood fireplace or have a movie night. Does your group have talent? Use the 1920’s finely tuned grand piano to belt out some songs or have a dance party with the tremendous surround sound system. At the end of the night relax on the couch and marvel at the petroglyphs carved into the Great Room walls.

The kitchen is the perfect amalgamate of old world charm and modern convenience! The kitchen has been meticulously rehabbed to provide a gourmet cooking experience with a Wolf double stove, new counter tops for plenty of prep space and wall to ceiling cabinetry appointed with everything you’ll need to impress your guests with your culinary skills. The space features a custom walnut island and the original 1930’s GE refrigerator that’s been updated with the latest refrigeration components. There is one dishwasher in the kitchen, and a second dishwasher conveniently located in the attached coffee bar area. There is also a more informal dining area with seating for 8 guests, full tableware and serving settings are provided for up to 48 people.

The property has two master bedrooms, one on each level. Each of the master bedrooms is western facing, measuring 20x19’ and provides a King bed, desk and seating area. Both bedrooms have large walk-in closets with floor to ceiling shelving and a private, attached bath. There are two additional bedrooms on the main level and another five upstairs.
