Once in a great while, a property is presented to the market that is so known, so revered, so celebrated, that no superlative description is required. These are the legacy properties that occupy not only the finest lots on the best streets and feature the highest grade architecture and finishes, these are the iconic properties that are so respected because of both what they are and what they represent. Today, for what is believed to be only the third time in its 115 year history, Glanworth Gardens, the preeminent 40 acre estate on the premier lake in the Midwest, is being offered for sale.
In the early 1900s, famed Boston architect Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, was charged with designing a new lakeside retreat for the Harris Family, the founding family of Harris Bank and Trust. The site chosen for this new vacation home was a bucolic, undulating lakefront parcel on the north shore, where Snake Road dipped and weaved across the hilly countryside just beyond The Newport Of The West, the city of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The Olmsted Brothers provided the landscaping design, replete with ponds and gardens, meandering pathways and resting perches, all leading visitors through the dense native woods to the level shoreline.
Ascending the grand stairway you’ll appreciate the closer look at the thirty-foot great room ceiling with its intricate plaster and piping. The primary bedroom hallway heads to the west, with several guest sweets and the ultimate primary suite with fireplace, dressing room and updated full bath. The guest wing contains more lakeside bedrooms, most with en suite baths, bringing the total bedroom count in this home to thirteen. Additional property structures include a four bedroom guest house, carriage house, staff offices, boathouse, the children’s village and more.

I was invited to this beautiful house few times, Mr. Driehaus use to celebrate every summer, he was a big supporter of fashion design students. Thank you Mr. Richard Driehaus for all the support you provided me and many more students. You will for ever be remembered. 🙏
I’ve walked past this house numerous times while hiking the trail around this lake. This estate is like no other on Lake Geneva and that is saying a lot considering all the mansions there. The grounds here are incredible
what a gem
THAT IS A PRESIDENTIAL MANSION AWESOME MIND BLOWING.
That kitchen! I could cook for days! Plenty of room for everyone, cousins, aunts, kids, grands, lol!
Perfection to the nines.
This mansion is really beautiful and attractive around lake Geneva
Beautiful landscape
Beautiful estate. 😍
Spectacular ❣️
Looks like something out of a fantasy 😍
Lovely!
Such amazing house should be sold! It's too good to last on market and definitely worth the investment. Good presentation 😎👍
Living in this town for 2 years before moving, this was my absolute favorite house on the lake. Wish i could buy it 😪

Nice
Looks fitting for a governor or congressman.
This is what we used to call a "look at me house." Basically intended for someone in the ranks of the ultra wealthy (billionaire or close to it) and wants everyone to know it. It resembles the famous country houses of the British landed aristocracy, probably intentionally.

money really is something. many houses presented here. this one just says, look at me. hands down
That wing looks like it was added later, and is really unfortunate.
As this house is still available or sold ??? Can you tell me please
We lived there for 2 years. My husband was the caretaker.
I'm pretty sure it sold for 34 Million last year.
So Bruce Wayne finally sold his house huh?

Beautiful but expensive, just the $166,510/Year property tax :-(

I guess you don't know much about Lake Geneva. It's called New Port of The West. One of the most beautiful lakes in the world. My family has lived there since the 1840's. .
