Distinguished Lineage

This once-in-a-generation property comes replete with rich stories of past generations. New England transplants Lucius (“Loosh”) Biglow Jr. (1925-2015) and wife Nancy Wheatland Biglow (1927-2023) purchased the property in 1957. Lucius Biglow Jr. was the son of Lucius (“Ray”) Biglow III (1885-1961), legendary Yale football player and member of the Skull and Bones secret society. Lawyer, philanthropist, parishioner of St. Thomas, and member of the Medina City Council, Lucius Biglow Jr. was an a capella singer with Yale Glee Club and world-famous Whiffenpoofs.

Nancy Biglow was the daughter of a Harvard physics professor who helped invent radar, was an outdoors enthusiast, equestrienne and fervent animal lover (among many other things). Her devotion to conservationist causes such as World Wildlife Federation culminated in the Biglows’ 1997 grant of a conservation easement on their property—a sanctuary for bald eagles, ospreys, owls, wood ducks, otters, deer, raccoons, mergansers, and more— creating Evergreen Lakeshore Preserve.

Create Your Dream Compound

Evergreen Lakeshore Preserve’s conservation easement exists to protect and preserve fragile ecosystems. As such, the landscape may be altered for necessary upkeep, installation of utilities, and maintenance of the view corridor. With respect to alteration of the existing dwelling structures, the easement offers considerable latitude, allowing for the renovation and/or replacement of each structure, provided the renewed or new construction occupies the footprint and follows the function and character of the original structure. City zoning requires that the proposed construction remain within the setback limits defined by the Medina Municipal Code.

The easement allows all styles of new construction: indulge your aesthetic, whether you prefer a baronial English country manor, a turreted chateau, or a glittering, many-windowed modernist masterpiece. Or you may choose to update and upgrade the quietly gracious main residence. The accompanying feasibility study by architectural firm Build LLC details buildable volume that could be added to each structure, taking advantage of bonus height allowances permitted by the Medina Municipal Code, while upholding the easement’s original footprint requirement. Seller makes no assurances about the findings of the commissioned feasibility study or any other material in the accompanying documentation. Buyer is advised to undertake their own inquiries with Forterra and the City of Medina.
