The lower level underwent an extensive 2024 renovation, featuring new flooring, lighting and a bright, open space for another office. The spacious rec room features rustic, reclaimed wood paneled walls and multiple areas to relax or entertain and a large original floor-to-ceiling window with views of the surrounding woods and ravines.

Across from the barn, is The Hawthorn Shoppe which is just one of several independently owned businesses run by Trout Valley residents. They feature an intentionally curated selection of high-end furniture, lighting, textiles and home accessories from talented artisans and top brands and specialize in interior design. New to Trout Valley is the meticulously and exquisitely renovated Mansion and Le Belle Vie. Originally built by John D. Hertz as a gift for his daughter Leona, The Mansion offers residents small-group gatherings such as Bread Day, Flower Arranging and Tea and tours of the completed renovations and future plans. Thanks to the dedicated HOA, volunteers and Mansion project, Trout Valley is a community poised for a new era of desirability and boost to long-term home values. All of this, just a quick ride or short walk to the Metra, dining on Main street in Cary, and is within easy reach of Crystal Lake, Barrington O'Hare and downtown Chicago.
