A 60-acre riverfront estate in Hunting Valley, Ohio, is on the market for a record-breaking $19.995 million.
The roughly 20,700-square-foot mansion comes with six bedrooms and stretches along the banks of the Chagrin River.
The property includes a private sandy beach, a plunge pool, a Bocce court, and a greenhouse. An arched breezeway connects the main house to a detached garage, which can accommodate up to 20 cars.
A ‘man cave’ above the garage features a bar, a golf simulator, and a barber’s station. The property also boasts a wine cellar, a steam room, and a heated driveway.
If it sells for close to its asking price, it will become the most expensive home ever sold in Ohio, listing agent Jen Waters told the Wall Street Journal.
Late construction-staffing mogul Joseph Wesley and his wife, Kimberly, paid around $20 million to develop the suburban Cleveland estate.
Joseph, the 63-year-old founder of Ohio-based Tradesmen International, passed away in 2021.
While Kimberly did not respond to a request for comment from the WSJ, Waters said that she is currently building a new home.
As you step through the front door, a dazzling Bentley Home chandelier, crafted by a furniture company linked to the British luxury car manufacturer, commands attention in the entrance.
The interior is elevated by elegant marble flooring, as well as a dramatic dining room adorned with a peacock mosaic mural.
The gourmet chef’s kitchen boasts quartzite and marble countertops, anchored by a custom La Cornue Chateau range.
The first floor also includes a mudroom, laundry room, and a butler’s pantry equipped with a third dishwasher.
A home office and the primary suite complete the level.
The primary suite features an atrium with a custom-painted ceiling. Residents can indulge in dual baths, a cozy fireplace, and a private patio complete with another fireplace.
The lower level is an entertainer’s paradise. A state-of-the-art gym, sauna, and steam room cater to wellness enthusiasts, while a lavish entertainment area with a bar, billiard table, stage, and wine room offer endless possibilities for relaxation and recreation.
Five other bedrooms, along with a screening room, are located on the second floor with their own bathrooms.
And you won’t have to brave the Ohio winters or frozen-over lots as the driveway is heated.
Waters attributes the home’s hefty price tag to its exceptional size, prime location in the exclusive Hunting Valley community, and high-quality construction.
Despite a slowing luxury market in some areas, Hunting Valley remains a desirable location for affluent buyers.
While home sales of $1 million or more have declined slightly this year compared to last, the area continues to attract high-net-worth individuals.
The second most expensive home in the same ZIP code recently hit the market for $4,895,000 and has already attracted an offer.
