Inside the 2026 Dream Home: A VIP Preview You'll Want to See

Lucía Torres · 2026-10-29

The Agency Indianapolis recently threw a preview party for Indianapolis Monthly’s 2026 Dream Home, and it was a night to remember. This marks their third year sponsoring the event, following 2023 and 2025. But this year hit differently—Managing Partner Traci Garontakos is representing the featured residence, “The Reverie.” And unlike past Dream Homes built for private owners, this one is actually on the market. That’s right, you could live in the Dream Home. ### How the Listing Came Together Securing this listing wasn’t luck. It came from Traci’s long-standing relationships with builder Scott Bates Custom Homes and local luxury developers. She also teamed up with The Agency’s award-winning corporate marketing team to craft a standout listing presentation and property branding. The result? A milestone for The Agency Indianapolis that shows the power of local connections, community involvement, and a collaborative marketing approach. ### A Party with a Purpose To celebrate, The Agency hosted a “Red Poolside” cocktail party. Guests toured the home, enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, a DJ, and a champagne toast. But the night wasn’t just about luxury—it was about giving back. A portion of ticket sales went to Morning Light Inc., an Indianapolis nonprofit that provides a free home to terminally ill, low-income patients. So while everyone was admiring the craftsmanship, they were also supporting a great cause. ### The Reverie: A Once-in-a-Generation Estate Now, let’s talk about the home itself. The Reverie at 4430 Elmscott Ridge sits on a secluded ridgeline above Zionsville. This 11,366-square-foot estate by Scott Bates Custom Homes overlooks the 7th fairway of the Pete Dye-designed Holliday Farms championship golf course. And it’s packed with features: - Six suites and 10 baths across three levels - A dedicated in-home spa and water circuit for everyday relaxation - A showstopping Doca and Gaggenau kitchen - Custom water features and a 20-foot entertainment wall - Phantom screens, integrated heating, and a resort-caliber pool and spa for four-season enjoyment Curated and furnished by Dare 2 Design, the home is move-in ready. It’s a fully realized vision from the moment you arrive. ### Want to See It for Yourself? To learn more about The Reverie at 4430 Elmscott Ridge, contact Traci Garontakos at The Agency Indianapolis.
