A Magnificent Wooded Refuge with Endless Amenities in Waite Hill

Nestled among more than 14 secluded acres in Ohio's Waite Hill, an architectural tour-de-force awaits at 7265 Markell Road. This exceptional chalet-inspired estate seamlessly blends residential grandeur with an array of unique amenities and breathtaking natural surroundings for the ultimate lakefront living experience.

Originally conceived by renowned architect Tony Paskevich, the 12,000 square-foot main residence instantly captivates with its romantic aesthetic, evoking an air of European fairy tale splendor. A meandering dual-gated drive winds through mature forests before depositing guests at the magnificent porte-cochere entrance. Here, the residences' stateliness is on full display with intricate stone and woodwork beneath a charming gabled roofline.

Inside, stunning architectural details like soaring wood beams, floor-to-ceiling windows, and no less than 8 stone fireplaces create a profound sense of warmth and European country house character. The heart of the home is the sprawling chef's kitchen outfitted with premium appliances that would satisfy any culinarian - from the wood-fired La Cornue range to the custom butlers' pantry.
An open hearth room and sun-drenched breakfast area adjoin the kitchen, both enjoying views out to the lush wooded scenery beyond the walls of glass. Additional living areas provide an abundance of flexible formal/informal spaces for everything from cozy fireside evenings to grand soirées flowing onto the multiple outdoor stone terraces.

When it comes to entertaining and recreation, this property raises the bar even further with dedicated wings devoted solely to leisure and fun. A spectacular billiards space with vaulted ceilings seamlessly transitions to a private two-lane bowling alley and upscale lounge complete with its own secondary kitchen and bath. Step outside and you're greeted with multiple outdoor living and dining "rooms" oriented around cozy fireplaces and patios immersed in the estate's park-like wooded surroundings.

For overnight guests, the 6 bedroom suites offer sumptuous accommodations including a luxe owner's retreat with its own sitting room and lavish en-suite bath. A detached carriage house contains a full guest apartment with separate entry, while the over 5-car heated garage gives automobile aficionados ample secure storage.

Situated along the 11th hole of the renowned Kirtland Country Club golf course, the estate's setting affords all the amenities of a private residential resort while maintaining an air of secluded tranquility. Nature trails meander through old-growth forests surrounding multiple ponds and even a private ski run serviced by its own personal chairlift.

For those craving an architectural legacy property balanced with world-class amenities and a once-in-a-lifetime naturalistic setting, 7265 Markell Road represents a true culmination of inspired residential living. An oasis of curated European sophistication tailor-made for those who want it all.
