A newly constructed 11,600-square-foot home in Barrington Hills hit the market on Friday asking $6 million, joining a thin roster of high-end listings in the northwest Chicago suburb.
The house at 101 South Remington Drive has five bedrooms and six bathrooms and sits on a 5.3-acre lot. The 11,600-square foot home will be completed this year, according to the listing.
The mansion appears to be for sale by the builder, based on property records. Records indicate Arkadiusz Bakiej of Palos Hills purchased the lot for $360,000 in 2018.
Online information about Bakiej is sparse, but results suggest he is a homebuilder and involved in home remodeling. He’s the manager of P.A.K.I., LLC, according to Illinois business records. The listing agent on the home is listed as Iwona Bakiej, who is also involved in P.A.K.I., according to a LinkedIn page under that name.
Iwona Bakiej did not respond to a request for comment.
The home’s modern design is inspired by California luxury homes, according to the listing. It consists of staggered cubic structures with sharp geometric lines, flat roofs and full floor-to-cieling windows, marking a departure from the more traditional English manors that dominate the Barrington area’s luxury properties.
The home has four fireplaces, a sauna, a wet bar, a walk-out basement and a five-car attached garage, according to the listing. The primary suite on the second floor includes a private fitness area and a walk-in closet, as well as a double-level patio that overlooks the grounds.
Barrington Hills, 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, enforces a five-acre minimum lot size, which has shaped the large and expensive estates that define the village’s housing stock.
Few homes in Barrington Hills and the surrounding area have cleared $5 million in recent years. A 17,600-square-foot mansion featured in the TV show “Empire” sold for $6.5 million in 2025 after 12 years on the market and millions of dollars in price cuts. A 46-acre estate in Barrington Hills sold for $5.6 million in 2023, and a 15,000-square-foot South Barrington new construction home brought in $5.3 million in 2024, property records show.
Only two other homes are listed for sale asking $6 million or more in the Barrington area. A 20,000-square-foot mansion is asking nearly $7 million after a pending contract at $6.5 million fell through last year. Another mansion that has been vacant for nearly two decades is on the market asking $6.5 million.
