Property Description
18451 W Route 120, is an extraordinary 21-acre estate surrounded by rolling pastures, forest preserves, and the breathtaking Almond Marsh. Set down a long, picturesque driveway, this one-of-a-kind property feels worlds away from it all, yet you're right in the heart of central Lake County, perfectly positioned between Chicago and Milwaukee. Formerly home to the well-regarded Kennelworth Farms dog boarding business, the facility was thoughtfully designed for top-tier animal care and operated successfully until the pandemic. Today, it stands ready for a visionary buyer to bring it back to life, whether as a high-end boarding business, equestrian center, or multi-use animal rescue campus. Assistance with Financial projections can be prepared for qualified buyers. The state-of-the-art facility includes 72 individual dog runs thoughtfully separated into four boarding pods, each served by its own hospital grade HVAC system providing optimal air quality, disease control, odor management, and stress reduction for the animals. Amenities also include a grooming room, food and medicine storage, a welcoming front office, security camera system, and built-in audio system. Dogs can enjoy both a concrete outdoor run and a grass outdoor play area. With four separate Property Identification Numbers and wide-open land, the potential here is immense. Currently used as a hobby farm, the grounds offer flexibility for equestrian repurposing, animal therapy programs, or transforming into a community hub for animal welfare, rescue, and education. The location and layout are ideal for Humane Society partnerships, youth education programs, or service dog training. A 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,700 square foot home sits perched on a beautiful bluff overlooking Almond Marsh. While in need of full renovation, the structure offers the opportunity to create a residence that matches the beauty and potential of the land. Properties like this, rich with infrastructure, natural beauty, and purpose-driven potential, are incredibly rare. Bring your vision and make 18451 W Route 120 a destination for animal care, healing, and community impact.
