Deerpath Farm is truly one of the North Shore’s hidden natural gems. It’s a property that has remained essentially undisturbed for almost a century. Lake Forest Open Lands applauds the sensitive development of this landscape and is proud to partner with Deerpath Farm to restore and protect its woods, wetlands and prairies in perpetuity.

Rick Phillips did an outstanding job of translating our building program into the home of our dreams. Because of the beautiful environment we live in, it continues to be the favored gathering spot for our family and friends.

I love it here. So serene, elegant and beautiful, like a fairy tale with a touch of chic. Deerpath Farm is a place for joy, rejuvenation, fun and healing; a place where you can just simply be. There’s nowhere better.

…wild forests, filled with such trees, vines, flowers and shrubs as will grow in this climate, and all should be developed in a natural condition. Country roads and a few paths should run through these forests, but they should not be cut into small divisions. There should be open glades here and there, and other natural features, and the people should be allowed to use them freely.
