Description

This stunning 3-story executive home, set on 8.37 acres, welcomes you with a beautiful entrance featuring a wooden staircase that leads to the second and third floors. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the family room, offering ample space for entertaining or relaxing by the fireplace while enjoying the scenic view of nature and the deck, where deer often roam. The home includes 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with the potential to convert the 2.5-car garage into an additional bedroom, thanks to its large bay window. The well-appointed kitchen features a cozy breakfast area with a large fireplace and an island, making it the perfect gathering spot. In addition, there's a formal dining room that can comfortably fit a large family gathering or be converted into a home office, offering flexibility for your needs. The property also includes an unfinished basement with a mechanical room and a partially completed fireplace, providing a blank canvas for customization. A central vacuum system is available but hasn't been connected or used. The property features a 6-stall horse barn on the northwest corner. The owner previously had the property fenced and kept horses there, suggesting that a horse-riding business could be a viable option for this land. This includes equestrian training, horse rides, and similar services. While the barn requires extensive renovation, the potential for equestrian use adds another layer of opportunity. The home has recently updated systems, with a furnace and air conditioner replaced in 2021 and a new roof installed in 2018. Additionally, the property is served by an artisan spring water well. Currently zoned agricultural (A-1), the land offers great flexibility and potential. With 728 feet of commercial frontage along Gougar Rd, this property could be rezoned for commercial use or divided into smaller lots. Bring your renovation ideas or build your dream home on this beautiful property, abundant with wildlife and open green space. Rehabbers, investors, and builders-don't miss out! This property offers numerous possibilities, including rental income, a new business venture, a horse-riding enterprise, or mixed-use development with commercial frontage along Gougar Rd. It's ideally situated between two major interstate access points on IL-7/159th Street and IL-171/143rd Street, making it a prime opportunity for a variety of uses. Listed both as land and as a detached single-family residence. PLEASE NOTE: Do not walk the land without scheduling an appointment.
