In its entirety this estate is likely the largest, most lavish and was, at one time, possibly the most expensive single-family estate in the Midwest. Its address in Door County, Wisconsin, the "Cape Cod" of the Midwest, is known worldwide to be one of the most sought after locations in the country for its more than 250 miles of shoreline on Lake Michigan, jutting out into a 70-mile long peninsula with five state parks and ten lighthouses. The county is also known for its performing arts, galleries and shops and has been named by Money magazine as one of the top ten vacation destinations in North America.
Built by reclusive heiress and philanthropist, Judith Blazer, the home took three years to construct. Judith is heir to the Appleton, Wisconsin based Miller Electric founded by her grandfather, now a part of Illinois Tool Works. She moved to Chicago in 1999 and put the estate on market. She sold it to the current owners who bought it sight unseen in 2005 and, in fact, the home has never been occupied by them.
The exquisitely furnished 35,000 square foot main house consists of four ensuite bedrooms, two-story grand parlor, formal dining room, 14-seat Art Deco theatre with charming ticket booth lobby offering two concession stands, indoor pool and spa, 8 fireplaces and elevator. The seven room master suite alone is 5,000 square feet including parlor. The three guest suites are joined by a parlor and kitchenette. There are six additional bathrooms throughout the home. The kitchen is clearly sized for entertaining on a grand scale. The pièce de résistance is the fully stocked, walnut panelled two-story library.
The main house is situated on a 100’ cliff overlooking the Green Bay side of Lake Michigan and beautifully landscaped grounds. The offering consists of the mansion on 22 acres, beach house and guest chalet as well as an 80+ acre parcel in close proximity to the main house.
Akin to striking the motherlode, this grand waterfront estate was listed at $19.5 million - now priced at $8.75 million.
