Property Description

Welcome to one of Northwest Illinois’ most extraordinary private estates, offering approximately 154 acres of breathtaking natural beauty in the heart of the Driftless Region. This exceptional property provides a rare opportunity to own a private sanctuary where conservation, recreation, and comfortable living come together. Approximately 134 acres are protected by a Conservation Right and Easement with the Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation, while approximately 20 acres remain zoned agricultural. The designated 1.8-acre building envelope is perfectly positioned within the prairie to capture panoramic countryside views. The landscape includes approximately 65 acres of mature hardwood and conifer forest, native prairie, and savanna grasslands. Nature trails wind throughout the property, offering outstanding opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, hunting, and utility vehicle access. Deer, turkey, and more than 127 documented bird species thrive here, creating an incredible setting for outdoor enthusiasts. Designed to embrace its surroundings, the custom-built home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths with an openconcept layout filled with natural light. Expansive windows and patio doors showcase spectacular views from nearly every room. The living room features a striking stone wood-burning fireplace, while the dining area flows into a spacious three-season room. The kitchen offers solid oak cabinetry, a center island, and abundant workspace. The main level also includes the primary suite with walk-in closet and whirlpool bath, an office, laundry room, atrium, and half bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, one with a private balcony, plus a full bath. The walkout lower level offers future expansion potential with a half bath, plumbing for another full bath, and separate access to the attached garage. Attached 3-car and detached 2-car garages, stamped concrete patios, and a fire pit complete this truly one-of-a-kind estate where privacy, nature, and timeless beauty define everyday living.
