Charming log home nestled in a 43-acre woods. Peaceful, quiet, private and the beauty of nature all around. Large hanging oak trees, native flowers, shrubs and wildlife everywhere from butterflies, birds and turkeys to foxes, bobcats and large whitetail bucks. The 2,624 sq.ft. 2 story log home is much larger than what first may be expected. There are 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and the 4th bedroom is a large space that sleeps 4 people in custom made built-in log beds. In fact, all of the beds are custom made log beds that stay with the house and all the built-in hickory cabinets came from trees on the property! The kitchen is open to a spacious living room featuring a real wood burning fireplace which makes the entire open layout of the home super cozy in the winter months. There is a 3-season screened porch which overlooks the park like backyard and a large deck off the porch for further entertaining and grilling. The basement is unfinished but has the potential to be finished for more living space if needed. Another unexpected but welcome feature of the property is that there is both an attached 2.5 stall garage and an unattached 2.5 stall garage so there is plenty of room for atv’s, tractors and equipment as well as vehicles. The attached garage comes with heat/AC and work bench/sink area. Of course, the home is also equipped with a good working A/C system to keep things cool in the summer and both the furnace and roof are only around 6 years old, so those big items are good to go for many years. There is also a high-end water softener system that keeps the water in great shape for cleaning more effectively. As mentioned earlier, this property has just over 43 acres of pristine Illinois hardwoods and is loaded with wildlife. There are ATV trails throughout the property for access and if you are a serious deer hunter, you just have no idea how good this neighborhood is for both high deer numbers and truly giant bucks. There are 170” - 190” deer on this block every season and these 43 acres is right in the middle of the biggest landowners in the area that manage their properties to grow the largest bucks possible. Overall, this property is perfect as a getaway country retreat with many acres to enjoy and besides the enjoyment of this property there are many other destination points in this area. The beautiful and historic town of Galena is less than a 1/2 hour away which is a major attraction for our Chicago friends who come out here for the fine dining, shopping and golfing. The Chestnut Mtn. Ski Resort is also a short drive from this property and there are several wineries in the area with Galena Cellars Winery being a huge attraction.
