Set on approximately 7.5 private acres in McHenry, Illinois, 2816 Maryville Drive is a truly unique property. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, approximately 5,259 square feet, an indoor pool, indoor waterfall, multiple detached garages, a car lift, greenhouse, expansive grounds, and thousands of square feet of additional garage and outbuilding space, this is far more than an ordinary suburban home.
It is a property built around possibilities.
One of the greatest luxuries of this property is the acreage itself. There is room for vehicles, hobbies, projects, entertaining, gardening, and simply enjoying the outdoors.
The approximately 7.5 acres provide privacy while still offering convenient access to everything McHenry has to offer. Mature trees, open views, a patio and gazebo create peaceful outdoor spaces, while the multiple structures add an incredible amount of flexibility.
Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning outside, hosting friends and family, or spending the weekend working on a project, there is room to make the property your own.
Inside, the approximately 5,259-square-foot home offers four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, along with generously sized living spaces.
A dramatic two-story entry leads into the home, while oversized windows and soaring ceilings bring natural light into the living room. The family room provides a comfortable gathering space centered around a wood-burning fireplace.
The kitchen has been completely reimagined with custom cabinetry, built-ins, stainless steel appliances and a large center island, creating a natural place for cooking, entertaining and gathering.
One of the home's most unforgettable features is the private indoor pool complex.
Skylights bring natural light into the space, while a swim-up bar creates an incredible setting for entertaining. The pool area also includes a full bathroom and direct access to the backyard, making it both impressive and functional.
And because the pool is indoors, the space can be enjoyed year-round. Summer pool parties, winter weekends, family gatherings or relaxing afternoons are all possible regardless of the weather.
This isn't simply an indoor pool. It's a destination within the home.
Another unexpected feature is the indoor waterfall located in a separate living area. It creates a distinctive atmosphere and offers flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, hobbies or simply enjoying a space unlike anything found in a typical home.
The primary suite continues the property's resort-like feel. The bedroom overlooks the indoor pool and includes a large walk-in closet, while the ensuite features a private hot tub.
Two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the second level.
For many buyers, the property's garages and outbuildings may be just as exciting as the main house.
The property includes multiple substantial detached garages and outbuildings, providing thousands of square feet of space for vehicles, equipment, storage, workshops and hobbies.
The primary garage is a massive heated brick-and-frame structure with soaring ceilings and a car lift, making it especially appealing to car collectors, mechanics and automotive enthusiasts.
Another detached frame garage measures approximately 2,900 square feet, while a third detached frame garage adds approximately 860 square feet. There is also a separate frame shed for additional storage.
Imagine having space for classic cars, motorcycles, boats, ATVs, woodworking equipment, tools, recreational gear or a restoration project without taking over your home or driveway.
For someone who needs serious workshop, storage or hobby space, this property offers possibilities that are extremely difficult to find in a residential setting.
The property's outbuildings could appeal to entrepreneurs, tradespeople, makers, artists, collectors, hobbyists and anyone whose lifestyle requires more space than a conventional home can provide.
One of the structures also includes an attached greenhouse, adding another opportunity for gardening, growing or creative projects.
Maybe you're a serious car collector. Maybe you need a workshop. Maybe you have equipment that needs a home. Maybe you've always wanted an indoor pool or acreage where you can enjoy more privacy.
Or maybe you simply want a property that gives you options.
This property doesn't tell you how to live. It gives you the space to decide.
McHenry offers something increasingly difficult to find in the Chicago suburbs: space without complete separation from everything else.
The area provides access to parks, recreation, lakes and rivers, restaurants, shopping, schools and local businesses, while still offering the natural beauty and breathing room that attracts buyers looking for something beyond the typical suburban lifestyle.
For buyers searching for McHenry homes on acreage, private estates, homes with indoor pools, properties with extensive garage space or truly unique homes, 2816 Maryville Drive occupies a category of its own.
There are homes where you can understand nearly everything about them from a list of features.
Four bedrooms.
Three-and-a-half bathrooms.
A kitchen.
A fireplace.
A garage.
A patio.
You know what you're getting.
2816 Maryville Drive is different.
It's approximately 7.5 acres, a substantial residence, an indoor pool with a swim-up bar, an indoor waterfall, a hot tub in the primary ensuite, multiple detached garages, a heated garage with a car lift, thousands of square feet of additional space, a greenhouse, a gazebo, mature trees and privacy.
It's a property for the collector, the creator, the entertainer, the hobbyist and anyone who simply wants more room to live life on their own terms.
2816 Maryville Drive isn't just a home. It's an opportunity to imagine what could be possible.
If you've been searching for a unique McHenry estate, a home on acreage, an indoor pool, a car enthusiast's dream garage, extensive workshop space or a private property with room for virtually any hobby, this is a property worth experiencing in person.
Because with a property this unusual, the question isn't simply, "What does it have?"
The better question is: "What could you do with it?"
