Mettawa, IL
Mettawa, IL, is a hidden sanctuary located approximately 30 miles north of Chicago, offering a unique "country in the city" lifestyle that stands in quiet contrast to its bustling neighbors. Known for its dedication to open lands and low-density living, this affluent village is a haven for those who prioritize privacy, nature, and rural elegance over suburban sprawl.
Winding roads, lush woodlands, and expansive five-acre residential lots characterize the village’s landscape, which is deeply rooted in equestrian heritage. With no traditional downtown or commercial density to disrupt the peace, Mettawa remains a pristine collection of luxury estates and horse farms, where residents enjoy a rare sense of seclusion and tranquility.
Nature is central to the Mettawa experience, with five Lake County Forest Preserves within its borders, including the popular Old School Forest Preserve and the historic Captain Daniel Wright Woods. Outdoor enthusiasts and equestrians flock to the extensive trail systems, including the Des Plaines River Trail, while history buffs appreciate the Adlai E. Stevenson Historic Home, a national landmark nestled in the woods.
Despite its pastoral atmosphere, Mettawa offers convenient access to I-94, O’Hare International Airport, and the upscale dining and shopping of nearby Libertyville and Lake Forest. For those seeking a retreat that balances vast open spaces with modern accessibility, Mettawa offers an exclusive and serene place to call home.
