The Highest-Priced Home in Wheaton
A $3.3M Estate Backing to Historic Chicago Golf Club
When people search “luxury homes in Wheaton” or “most expensive homes for sale in DuPage County,” one property immediately stands out.
Currently listed at $3,300,000, 25W451 Plamondon Rd in Wheaton, IL represents the highest-priced home on the market in Wheaton — and it’s not hard to see why.
Tucked at the end of a private lane in unincorporated Milton Township, this estate sits on nearly 1.8 acres overlooking the legendary Chicago Golf Club, widely regarded as the oldest golf course in America.
This is not just a home — it’s a statement property.
A Rare Architectural Story in Wheaton
This residence is a replica of “Greywalls,” the famous home on the Muirfield Golf Course in Scotland, originally designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The Wheaton version was designed by noted Chicago architect Richard Hague and built by Airhart Construction, blending classic European architecture with modern luxury living.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s stone, limestone, and slate exterior signals a level of craftsmanship rarely seen in today’s new construction.

Outdoor Living with Historic Roots
One of the most unique features of the property is its bluestone patio and limestone terrace, originally part of the historic “Tree Tops Estate” owned by Jarvis Hunt. The grounds were originally landscaped by Tony Tysnek of the Morton Arboretum, creating a setting that feels timeless, private, and serene.
Backing directly to Chicago Golf Club, the views and privacy are nearly impossible to replicate in Wheaton today.
