20 Chesapeake Trl, Columbia, IL 62236
Tucked at the end of a long private drive through mature trees, this nearly new custom luxury estate offers exceptional privacy on a rare 5.45-acre wooded setting.
A gracious two-story foyer leads to a paneled library lounge with wet bar & a formal dining with hidden storage & true chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry. Stair hall flows to a striking reclaimed log-cabin hearth room with vaulted ceiling & stone fireplace that opens to a screened porch with built-in grill. A private staircase off the mudroom leads to a flexible living area & bedroom above the garage.
The walk-out lower level is an entertainer’s dream with full wet bar, billiards, ventilated cigar lounge, wine cellar, hidden workout space, guest suite, second screened porch, fire pit, & 50-foot safe room.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers serene treetop views, his-&-hers closets with beverage bar, & a spa bath with soaking tub & tile shower. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-&-Jill bath. Conveniently located is a luxurious laundry/craft room.
Infrastructure includes a whole-house generator, 1,000-amp service with EV chargers, & superior insulation. True wooded privacy & the sounds of wildlife cannot be fully captured in photos. This estate balances seclusion with convenience—just 10 mins to South County, 20 mins to downtown St. Louis, & 35 mins to Scott Air Force Base—within the highly regarded Columbia School District.
A rare legacy property combining architectural character & exceptional wooded privacy.
