Highland Park Estate, Estate of the Day
Like yesterday's estate this home in Highland Park, Illinois gives you a chance to check out an impressive art collection in situ. This home, which was built in the 1920s by Howard van Doren Shaw, has Lake Michigan views and 17 acres of space. The grounds were landscaped by Jens Jensen and include winding paths, gardens and a gazebo. The home has seven bedrooms with three fireplaces. Exterior amenities include tennis courts, an in-ground pool and a three-car garage. It is listed at $22 million. After the jump, contemporary art in a not-so-contemporary house.

This is the former home of Michael "Mickey" Segal, the insurance executive now serving time for fraud and racketeering charges. [See http://www.insurancejournal.com/magazines/midwest/2004/01/12/coverstory/35648.htm ]The property, now under the control of the Feds, is unique on Chicago's North Shore -- certainly the largest intact parcel located directly on the lakefront, and is most significant for the Jensen landscape than for the oft-remodeled manor house.
