Originally dating back to the 1860's, this property underwent an extensive reconstruction and modernization between 2022 and 2026, combining historic character with modern systems, efficiency, and long-term durability. The original south portion of the home was torn down and rebuilt from the foundation up, while the newer north addition was taken down to the studs and extensively reconstructed with new sub flooring, framing improvements, insulation, mechanical systems, finishes and a rebuilt above-roof chimney. This is far more than a cosmetic renovation. Inside you'll find a Large country kitchen with granite counter tops, custom cabinetry, Whirlpool appliances, heated floors, premium flooring throughout including waterproof laminate flooring under warranty, remodeled staircase, fresh paint, and three fireplaces located in the living room, basement and upstairs suite. The spacious layout includes a first floor master suite, second master suite with fireplace and sitting area, large family room,, and basement living space featuring a durable Polyurea floor coating. Major infrastructure and mechanical improvements include 2x6 wall construction, professionally sealed foundation with portions of the original stone foundation reinforced with poured concrete backing, majority copper plumbing, majority conduit electrical, Thermo ComboMax in-floor heat and domestic hot water system, two Mitsubishi multi-zone mini-split systems with individual room controls, new well pump and wiring, new holding tank, newer septic system recently serviced and pumped, radon mitigation system, and owned water treatment equipment including ozone treatment, reverse osmosis and water softener. Energy efficiency upgrades include cellulose insulation, extensive spray foam insulation, CertainTeed 30-year roof, CertainTeed vinyl siding, double-hung windows and doors, and fully owned solar panels with transferable warranty and contract for the Illinois REC/SREC program. Outside, the property is equally impressive with professional landscaping, new decks, additional gravel improvements, a 30x50 metal shop building with three overhead doors, a 10x20 Amish-built cedar building for chickens, corn crib with electric service, two metal silos with concrete floors, and electric available near an existing concrete pad for a future outbuilding. The fully fenced acreage, complete with additional barbed wire for livestock, is ready for hobby farming, recreation, or simply enjoying peaceful country living! This rare property offers the charm of a historic homestead with the realizability, efficiency, and infrastructure of a modern home-an opportunity that would be difficult to replicate at today's construction costs. Optional purchase available: low-hour 2025 Kubota 60 inch zero-turn mower. Please note that Ring door bell and cameras do NOT stay. This property has been meticulously maintained has breathtaking views and is ready for the new owner to call home!
