7265 Markell Road

Situated on over 14 acres overlooking the Chagrin River Valley, this exceptional chalet provides the epitome of distinguished living in an unmatched natural setting.

Originally designed by Tony Paskevich, this magnificent manse is truly an architectural triumph. Astonishing details are found throughout, and only the finest materials were used to create the 12,000 square feet of expansive living space. The property is complete with every possible amenity catering to every possible desire, from a two-lane automated professional bowling alley to a chair lift that ascends your own private ski slope. The rear of the property is nestled against the 11th hole at Kirtland Country Club, yet feels beautifully secluded in your own personal wooded paradise surrounded by old growth trees and multiple ponds.

Beautifully set back from the road by a meandering dual gated drive, the magnificent front entrance is evocative of a romantic fairy tale. A cobblestone paved port a cochere and motor court wrap the entire property and provide multiple points of entry into the main residence.

Though one could certainly enter through the massive, heated, five car garage or from the covered drive into the mud room boasting its own stone fireplace, the front door beckons with stained glass accent windows and opens to the dramatic great room and kitchen. Two stone fireplaces and large floor to ceiling windows frame both spaces. The chef’s kitchen features wormy chestnut cabinets, a La Cornue French oven, custom butlers pantry, subzero refrigerators, and a gorgeous hearth room and window lined dining area. In total, eight stone-granite fireplaces grace the interior.

The recreation and entertaining wing includes a spectacular vaulted space, ideal for billiards or poker, which opens to the Brunswick, two-lane bowling alley and soaring lounge boasting a second full kitchen and bath. Step out to the incredible multi-level stone terrace to take your guests outside and enjoy multiple outdoor fireplaces and the exceptional serenity of the beautifully wooded setting.

Six bedroom suites can be found on the second floor, including an exceptional dual level owner’s suite with a private dressing room, morning bar and spectacular en-suite bath. The 5+ car tiled garage is heated with custom 10’ solid chestnut doors, has its own powder room and upstairs offers a complete guest apartment with a full kitchen, bath and private entry. A whole home generator housed in its own enclosure provides seamless power should the occasion arise. This estate is truly a trophy property for the most discerning buyer.
