14 Carnoustie Lane, Inverness: $2,750,000 Golf & Pool Estate

Date of Publishing: October 24, 2026

On the main floor, oak floors and a vaulted great room open the house to daylight. Downstairs, a dark ceiling, glowing bar arches and a glass wine cellar set the scene for an evening in. At 14 Carnoustie Lane, Inverness, IL 60067, that change of atmosphere comes with an indoor golf simulator—and a $2,750,000 asking price. Monica Balder of Baird & Warner holds the listing.

The 2022-built house occupies a 1.02-acre cul-de-sac lot in Heritage Farms. The brokerage markets five bedrooms, including one on the lower level, and five full bathrooms plus a powder room. The advertised 6,093-square-foot figure covers the main and upper floors in the MLS area breakdown; that breakdown separately lists 2,268 finished square feet below grade. Those measurements warrant confirmation, but the distinction helps explain the extent of the entertaining space downstairs.

Inside 14 Carnoustie Lane: Stone, Glass and Oak

A circular driveway sweeps across a front elevation of stone and pale masonry beneath sharply pitched, dark roofs. The garage turns to the side, leaving the entrance and tall windows to face the approach. Around the house, lawn and mature trees soften the geometry of the rooflines.

Glass front doors and oak staircase in the foyer at 14 Carnoustie Lane in Inverness, Illinois — The entrance pairs glass double doors with an oak staircase and black balusters.

Oversized glass double doors lead to a foyer with a white-oak staircase, black iron balusters and wide-plank oak flooring. The same materials recur through the principal rooms: warm wood underfoot, pale walls and dark window frames. The stair’s open balustrade preserves a sightline across the entrance hall.

Vaulted great room with a stone fireplace and black-framed windows in Inverness, Illinois — A tall stone fireplace anchors the bright, vaulted great room.

In the great room, a stacked-stone fireplace rises to the vaulted ceiling. Large windows flank the seating area, while floating shelves and a built-in beverage refrigerator occupy an adjoining wall. The fireplace supplies the vertical emphasis; the low furniture keeps the room’s view toward the garden open.

A Kitchen Designed Around the Gathering Space

The kitchen trades the great room’s height for a broad working surface. A dark island topped with a single slab of quartzite faces white cabinetry, with brushed brass hardware picking up the warmer tones in the oak floor. Seating along the island brings guests within conversation of the cook.

Family room with a fireplace and glass doors overlooking the pool in Inverness, Illinois — Glass doors frame the pool terrace from the family room.

The family room offers a second gathering space closer to the pool. A fireplace occupies one wall, and broad glazed openings connect the seating area to the terrace. The office takes a different approach to openness: black-framed glass French doors define a room for work while borrowing light from the adjoining interior.

A Speakeasy-Style Bar, Golf Simulator and Wine Cellar

Downstairs, the palette reverses. Dark walls and a dark ceiling surround a long wet bar, where backlit arched niches illuminate bottles and stone surfaces. Upholstered stools line the counter. The lower ceiling and concentrated lighting create a more enclosed setting for drinks than the expansive rooms above.

Glass-enclosed wine storage beside the lower-level lounge in Inverness, Illinois — Glass wine storage forms part of the lower-level entertaining space.

The rooms have enough separation to serve different activities, yet remain close enough to function together. The glass enclosure around the wine storage keeps it within the lounge’s visual field; the simulator has its own hitting area and projection screen. These are the details that distinguish the lower level from a conventional basement sitting room.

Five Bedrooms, a Home Gym and Flexible Media Space

The bedroom arrangement places a suite on the main floor and three bedrooms upstairs, with the fifth on the lower level beside a full bathroom. That distribution gives overnight guests several degrees of separation from the principal suite. In the primary bedroom, a vaulted ceiling and tall, black-framed windows return to the airy proportions of the main living spaces.

The finishes provide texture without departing from the restrained colors used throughout the bedrooms.

An Inverness Pool Terrace With a Louvered Pergola

The rear elevation opens onto a rectangular pool and a terrace that runs along the house. A shallow lounging ledge occupies one end of the water, with space around the perimeter for seating. Beyond the pool fence, the lawn continues toward a mature tree line.

An Inverness Setting and a $2,750,000 Asking Price

Heritage Farms places the property near Inverness Golf Club and within reach of downtown Barrington, Palatine and Deer Park Town Center. Deer Grove adds a substantial outdoor destination nearby: the forest preserve complex encompasses nearly 2,000 acres of woodland, ravines, wetlands and prairie. The setting supports the house’s emphasis on recreation, both within its grounds and beyond them.

The current asking price follows a $2,100,000 sale in December 2023. The house was offered at $2,995,000 in July 2026, then reduced to $2,875,000 in August and $2,750,000 in September. The latest figure is $245,000 below the July asking price, or about 8.2%; it remains a seller’s asking price, not a measure of the eventual transaction.

At 14 Carnoustie Lane, the choice of where to spend an evening is built into the plan: beneath the great room’s vaulted ceiling, at the illuminated bar or beside the pool under the pergola. The house’s strongest feature is the change in scale and atmosphere between those spaces, with each offering a distinct setting for the same gathering.
