Nestled in complete privacy on over 5 secluded acres, this newly completed (2026) architectural masterpiece seamlessly merges the serene luxury of a world-class wellness resort with the intimacy of a private chalet. Rebuilt down-to-the-studs by master tradesmen, every detail was meticulously planned and engineered alongside architects, structural engineers, arborists, and forestry experts. Arrival begins past a picturesque front pond with a focal fountain, following a re-engineered driveway repositioned to avoid hill-bottom blind spots. The estate’s grounded, organic beauty features custom masonry, wide-plank oak flooring, and a private elevator connecting the main living level directly to the garden level. Constructed for absolute peace and quiet, organic wool batt insulation packs the exterior walls while interior walls feature sound batt, delivering superior thermal comfort and whisper-quiet soundproofing. High-performance Pella fiberglass-framed windows, ProVia solid-core fiberglass exterior doors, a new roof with hand-crafted copper ridge flashing and copper chimney, and all-new copper plumbing and electrical wiring ensure turnkey reliability. New utility lines run directly from public hookups. The garden level serves as a dedicated sanctuary, featuring an exclusive suite alongside a complete spa wing: a dedicated yoga studio and fitness space, deep-tissue infrared sauna, and an all-season swim spa. Outdoors, an expansive wrap-around deck with a low-maintenance Azek railing system overlooks the tranquil acreage and a second, strategically relocated pond engineered for optimal site drainage and natural views. A true labor of love, no detail was spared and no shortcuts were taken in bringing the vision to life. Uniting resort-style wellness, legacy-grade engineering, and uncompromised privacy, this estate offers an extraordinary living experience.
Set high above the Chagrin River Valley in the heart of Waite Hill, South Farm is one of Northeast Ohio’s most storied estates, offering a rare opportunity to own a property where history, architecture, and nature exist in remarkable harmony. Originally envisioned by financier John Sherwin Sr. and reimagined by renowned architect Bryant Fleming, this landmark estate reflects a level of craftsmanship and provenance seldom available today. Inspired by the great English country houses of the 18th century, the approximately 11,000-square-foot residence features nine bedrooms, six fireplaces, and gracious living spaces designed for both intimate family life and grand-scale entertaining. Inside, richly detailed interiors, soaring ceilings, and walls of windows create an atmosphere of timeless elegance while framing picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. Original architectural elements and preserved craftsmanship provide a warmth and authenticity rarely found today. Spanning more than 11 acres, the grounds are equally impressive. Formal gardens, stone terraces, and a beautifully landscaped pool create exceptional settings for entertaining and relaxation. An orchard, greenhouse, garden plots, and sweeping lawns evoke the charm of a classic country estate, while mature woodlands and walking trails offer peaceful connections to nature. Additional amenities include a guest house, working woodshop, historic teahouse with a fireplace, and restored stone pathways that reveal layers of thoughtful design more than a century after their creation. Located within the Village of Waite Hill, one of Ohio’s most private residential communities, South Farm offers tranquility and architectural significance less than a half hour from downtown Cleveland. More than a residence, South Farm is a legacy estate—an opportunity to become the next steward of one of the Chagrin Valley’s most extraordinary properties.
