Motorola CEO Lists Barrington Hills Mansion For $6M

Motorola Solutions CEO Greg Brown listed his Barrington Hills mansion on Wednesday for $5.9 million.

The enormous 28,000-square-foot home at 93 Hawley Woods Road sits on more than 10 acres and has seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The asking price comes out to $211 per square foot.

Penny Silich, with the Coveny Prestige Team at Re/Max Suburban, is representing Brown on the listing.

Brown and his wife, Anna, purchased the acreage in 2007 for $1.5 million, according to property records. The listing says the home was built in 2009.

The French Provincial-style stone manor has expansive amenities across three levels, according to the listing. The primary bedroom includes a two-story walk-in closet with a dedicated staircase and a spa-like bathroom. The 9,200-square-foot lower level includes a theater room, bar area and an indoor half basketball court, the listing says.

Silich, who declined to identify the sellers, said the home is notable for its large common areas and entertaining spaces. The lower level amenities can be used for casual entertainment while the larger common areas have been used for large-scale events and fundraisers, she said.

“Its a great entertainment home,” Silich said. “Everything is big in scale.”

Outside, the home has an in-ground pool, pool house and a stream running through the property.

Brown, the chairman and CEO of Chicago-based Motorola Solutions, has held the top role since the public-safety technology firm was spun out of Motorola in 2011. He was named CEO of the predecessor company in 2008 and oversaw the 2011 split that spun off the cell phone company as Motorola Mobility. Motorola Mobility, also based in Chicago, is now a subsidiary of the Chinese tech firm Lenovo.

The house joins a small list of other Barrington Hills properties asking more than $5 million. Last week, a flat-roofed modern new construction home hit the market asking nearly $6 million. A 20,000-square-foot mansion is asking nearly $7 million, while another mansion that has been vacant for nearly two decades is on the market asking $6.5 million.

The asking price would make it among the most expensive homes ever sold in Barrington. A 30,500-square-foot home on a 70-acre estate at 7 Fox Hunt Road fetched $7.5 million in 2012, the record for the village. In 2025, a mansion featured in the TV show “Empire” sold for $6.5 million after more than a decade on the market.
