About Trout Valley

Set along the Fox River in McHenry County, Trout Valley started out as a private country estate built by John D. Hertz of rental car fame. Over the decades, the property served as a horse breeding retreat and a working farm with trout ponds before developing into an official village in the 1990s. Today, neighborhood homes share the landscape with original features like the stone entrance gates, fishing ponds, community pool, and a historic barn, creating a quiet, wooded setting full of local character.
