Welcome to 855 S Ridge Road. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Lake Forest history. This gem of a property is a project for someone looking to have a one-of-a-kind home on a great piece of land. Renovate the current floor plan, add on, or turn this into the ultimate car clubhouse. Built-in 1935 by Stanley Anderson as horse stables for the surrounding farmland and estate. Throughout the years the use has changed and the land was subdivided and the stables were converted into a hobby farm, then into a residence, and most recently into collector car storage. Sitting on 1.39 acres with a gated driveway off of Ridge road, and green grass all the way to Hunter lane, with plenty of room to add on. A large heated garage was added in 2013 and was built to house collector cars. Easily room for 6+ cars with a catwalk above makes the perfect hangout to admire a car collection from above. Bring your plans, your ideas, and your wildest imagination to this one-of-a-kind property on Ridge Road. New design renderings have just been completed and are available to turn the barn into a unique new construction residence built around the original stables.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
