BATAVIA, IL — A breathtaking 2004-built stone mansion sitting on 20 acres of wooded land in Batavia is for sale. With sweeping views of the land, a cabin-like interior and magnificent architectural detail, the five-bedroom house is a feast for the eyes.
The sprawling property, being an actual forest, is comprised of multiple ponds, four fenced pastures and mature trees. It's home to an array of wildlife. While the house doesn't feature a pool outside — though who says one can't be added — it does have a serene indoor pool with multiple jets overlooking the yard. The room, finished in white paint and stone, looks like one out of a California escape.
As with every room in this 8,600-plus-square-foot house, the kitchen is magnificent. With an eating area, breakfast bar, pantry and double fridge situation, cooking will be all the more enjoyable.
If you happen to have 12 cars, you're in luck because that's the number of garage spaces this mansion has. But if you're like most other people with less than a handful of cars, then this extra space leaves room for storage or creativity.
Turkish marble floors, three stone fireplaces, 19 skylights and abundant windows are just a few of the other features. In short, the house looks as if it should appear on the cover of Architectural Digest.
