This stunning custom built, one owner log home is situated on a scenic property that feels miles away yet is minutes from the conveniences of town. Located on 19 acres, this home rests between a 1/2 acre stocked pond and the Mazon River just beyond the woods. This property is ideal for a hunting or fishing enthusiast. When you pull in the lane take a minute to absorb the view. As you walk through the front door you will be in awe of the grand entry with vaulted beamed ceiling and the soaring 2 story stone fireplace. Make note of the gorgeous open log staircase. No attention to detail has been spared. The open concept between the living room, dining room and kitchen is ideal for holiday gatherings and entertaining. It will be difficult to decide if you want to enjoy morning coffee on the oversized wrap around porch, the expansive back deck, the master bedroom balcony or in the light-filled four season room. Escape upstairs to the large loft adjacent to the master suite. Be sure to take in the gorgeous ceilings in the upper level as well as the walk-in closet. Take a bubble bath in the master bath and soak in the beauty of the woods at the back of the property. Slip into bed on those cold winter evenings and relax by the fireplace in the master bedroom. Two spacious bedrooms are located on the main floor along with a full bath. An abundance of windows allows for amazing views and a flood of natural light. The finished walk out basement is the perfect place to watch the game or host a game night. Walk out the sliding door in the basement and take a dip in the hot tub. In addition to gas forced air heat, the home has 5 zone in-floor heat in every room including the basement and the garage. After you taken in every inch of this beauty, head outside and take a stroll down to the pavilion and dock at the pond stocked with blue gill, large mouth bass and catfish. As you head into the woods, you'll come to the banks of the river. Practice your marksmanship at the 300 yard marked shooting range. Last but not least, the outbuilding may be one of your favorite things about this property. Over 3,000 sq. ft. to store your toys, cars, machinery and anything else you can think of. Over 1700 sq. ft. is insulated and heated with a concrete floor. This space includes a workshop and an office along with a loft above the office. In addition to the outbuilding there is an open-sided shed for extra storage. The current owner farms approximately 12 acres of hay/alfalfa. Very rarely does a property like this become available. Don't miss out on an opportunity to own your dream home.
