This $12.995 Million Ohio Estate Has 128 Acres, an Indoor Pool and a Two-Story Rock-Climbing Wall

Known as Ravencrest, the monumental Hunting Valley estate channels an English country manor across more than 38,000 square feet, with an indoor sports court, wine cellar, private theater, carriage houses and sweeping views over the Chagrin Valley.

There are large country houses, and then there is Ravencrest.

Set across more than 128 acres of rolling countryside in Hunting Valley, Ohio, the English manor-inspired estate has come to market for $12.995 million, offering a scale more readily associated with a private resort or historic landed estate than a contemporary American residence.

The numbers alone are striking.

Ravencrest encompasses approximately 38,362 square feet, with six bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. Beyond the main residence are separate carriage houses, a pool house, greenhouse, tennis court and extensive landscaped grounds surrounded by woodland and open meadows.

Inside, the amenity list becomes even more ambitious: an indoor swimming pool, indoor sports court, two-story rock-climbing wall, private theater, fitness center and a substantial wine cellar and tasting room.

Yet Ravencrest was not designed to read as a collection of oversized recreational spaces.

Listing agent Angelo J. Marrali of Howard Hanna describes the property as a “landmark estate of rare scale, craftsmanship, and architectural significance,” positioning its English country-house architecture and extraordinary acreage as equally important as the amenities concealed within.

An English Country Manor Reimagined in Ohio

Completed in 2009, Ravencrest draws heavily from the vocabulary of traditional English country estates.

Its exterior is constructed from hand-selected natural stone, with substantial timber elements and a Vermont slate roof lending the residence a sense of permanence that newer luxury construction does not always achieve.

The architecture is deliberately substantial without becoming austere.

Inside, timber beams, soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows and custom millwork create rooms capable of handling the building’s immense proportions while maintaining a warmer residential character.

The estate’s setting helps.

Instead of being compressed onto a manicured suburban parcel, Ravencrest sits within 128.8 acres of rolling terrain in Hunting Valley, giving its architecture the landscape required to make sense of its scale.

According to Marrali’s marketing, the design was intended to bring together “old-world architecture” and modern luxury, with craftsmanship and natural materials establishing the character of the house before its more extravagant amenities enter the picture.

A Clive Christian Kitchen Anchors the Living Spaces

For all of Ravencrest’s recreational excess, its principal living spaces retain the formality expected of a grand country residence.

At the center is a Clive Christian kitchen, bringing the British luxury cabinetry maker’s highly detailed approach to one of the most frequently used spaces in the house.

The kitchen sits within a broader collection of grand entertaining rooms characterized by vaulted ceilings, custom architectural detailing and extensive natural light.

Large windows are particularly important in a residence of this scale. Rather than allowing the interiors to become inward-looking, they continually reconnect the house to the surrounding Chagrin Valley landscape.

Six bedroom suites provide private accommodations within the main residence, creating a relatively restrained bedroom count compared with the home’s enormous square footage.

That ratio says something about how Ravencrest uses its space.

Much of the house has been given over not to sleeping quarters, but to entertaining, recreation, wellness and gathering—essentially allowing the estate to function as a private club for a relatively small number of residents and their guests.

Marrali emphasizes the “uncompromising quality” of the bespoke interiors, noting in the listing that the craftsmanship extends from the architecture itself to the property’s extensive collection of lifestyle amenities.

The Wine Cellar Is Built for More Than Storage

One of Ravencrest’s more traditional luxuries lies underground.

The residence contains a substantial wine cellar accompanied by a dedicated tasting room, creating a space designed not merely to store a collection but to enjoy it.

That distinction fits naturally within the country-manor concept.

Rather than placing every entertainment function into one enormous multipurpose room, Ravencrest creates separate destinations throughout the house, each with a particular atmosphere.

The private theater provides another.

Owners can move from dinner to a tasting in the cellar and then to a screening without leaving the residence—or encountering the more active recreational areas elsewhere in the house.

It is an approach to luxury based on specialization. At nearly 40,000 square feet, rooms do not need to perform multiple jobs simply to justify their existence.

And Ravencrest takes that philosophy much further when it comes to sports.

An Indoor Sports Complex Includes a Two-Story Climbing Wall

Behind the traditional stone-and-slate architecture is something considerably less expected.

Ravencrest contains its own indoor sports court, allowing recreation to continue through Northeast Ohio winters without leaving the property.

Nearby, a two-story rock-climbing wall rises through the interior, turning what could have been a conventional home gym into something approaching a private athletic facility.

A dedicated fitness center adds more traditional training space.

The scale of these amenities is notable not simply because they exist, but because the house is large enough to accommodate them without allowing them to overwhelm the more formal residential spaces.

The listing describes Ravencrest as having an “extraordinary collection of recreational and wellness spaces,” and that characterization is particularly apt here. These are not token amenities inserted into spare rooms; they form a substantial lifestyle component of the estate.

For a family that uses them regularly, the house effectively eliminates the distinction between home and private sports club.

The Indoor Pool Makes It a Year-Round Resort

Then there is the indoor swimming pool.

Combined with spa amenities, it gives Ravencrest a true year-round aquatic environment regardless of the weather outside.

The indoor setting is especially significant in Ohio, where a conventional outdoor pool has a naturally limited season. Here, swimming and wellness can continue through winter while the surrounding landscape is covered in snow.

But Ravencrest also has an outdoor pool for warmer months.

A dedicated pool house supports the exterior swimming area, creating an entirely separate summer environment from the indoor facility.

The duplication might seem extravagant—and it is—but it reflects the broader ambition of the property. Ravencrest was designed to adapt to the seasons rather than surrender its recreational lifestyle to them.

Marrali’s description of the estate as a private retreat “unlike any other in Northeast Ohio” is grounded in this combination: few properties can move between indoor swimming, a sports court, rock climbing, tennis and outdoor poolside living without their owners ever leaving the grounds.

Beyond the House Are Carriage Houses, a Greenhouse and Tennis Court

The main residence accounts for only part of the estate.

Separate carriage houses expand the compound beyond the primary structure, while a greenhouse introduces a more traditional country-estate element to the property.

A private tennis court sits among the recreational amenities outside.

Then there is the land itself.

More than 128 acres encompass mature woodland, open meadows and landscaped grounds overlooking the Chagrin Valley. At that scale, privacy is created not by fencing or screening alone but by actual distance.

The acreage also gives Ravencrest a sense of separation that would be impossible to reproduce on a conventional luxury homesite.

Despite that seclusion, the estate remains within reach of Greater Cleveland’s major cultural, business and medical institutions—a combination that has long made Hunting Valley one of Northeast Ohio’s most distinguished residential enclaves.

The result is a property capable of feeling deeply rural without requiring its owner to live remotely.

Ravencrest Last Sold for $6 Million

The estate’s current $12.995 million asking price follows a notable previous transaction.

According to the supplied property history, Ravencrest sold for $6 million in March 2023. It returned to the market on August 8, 2026, at $12.995 million.

That is more than double its recorded 2023 sale price, although a prior transaction alone does not reveal whether improvements, changes to included property or other circumstances may have influenced the current valuation.

At approximately $339 per square foot based on the supplied 38,362-square-foot figure, Ravencrest also illustrates why square-foot pricing can become a particularly blunt measurement for estate properties.

A buyer is acquiring far more than the walls of the main residence.

The offering encompasses 128.8 acres, ancillary structures, indoor and outdoor pools, a pool house, greenhouse, tennis court and a level of private recreational infrastructure that would be enormously complicated to reproduce.

For Marrali, the combination makes Ravencrest one of the region’s defining residential properties. His listing calls it “one of the most iconic residences ever built,” an ambitious description, but one supported by an estate whose scale is exceptional even before stepping inside.

A Private World in the Chagrin Valley

Ravencrest’s most unusual quality may ultimately be the contrast between what it looks like and how it lives.

From outside, the stone walls, slate roof and rolling landscape suggest an established English country house transplanted to Ohio.

Inside, the experience is thoroughly contemporary.

One can swim indoors, climb a two-story wall, play on a private sports court, work out, watch a movie in the theater or disappear into the wine cellar for a tasting. In summer, the activity shifts outdoors to the pool, tennis court and more than 128 acres of private countryside.

That duality prevents the estate from being merely an architectural homage to another era.

At $12.995 million, Ravencrest offers the aesthetics and ceremony of an old-world manor with the infrastructure of a modern private resort—and enough land around it to make both identities believable.
