Amazing variety of mature trees, open grassy fields, walking trails, gardens & a babbling creek. This natures lovers paradise has been offered for sale only twice... in the past 60 years! A very special home that lives & feels like a private retreat. The original cabin was built with focus & attention to quality & detail: High wood beamed & planked ceilings, tongue & groove walls & Pella windows. Enormous, wide open great-room is open to the eat-in-kitchen that has hearth room, brick fireplace & custom built in island/table. The original owners only used the home as a family weekend retreat. Current owners bought it as it was...frozen in time. Then, taking great care to preserve the original character, invested over 125K in top quality updates & improvements to create this very special living space. ALL NEW in the past few years: Brand brand new large master suite addition, with two vanities, custom tiled shower, walk in closet & laundry room. NEW roof (2x4 framing & spray foam insulation installed under new roof) NEW 200 Amp Breaker Panel/rewiring. NEW septic system, tile well, well pump, sump pump, furnace & a/c. NEW Samsung stainless appliances, LG pedestal, front load washer/dryer water heater. All NEW flooring, doors, lighting, plumbing fixtures, vanities & whole house water filter. Added spray foam insulation, replaced the entire gas & water lines to the house. NEW attractive, covered front porch, large back deck, driveway, metal shed & wood shed. Great pride of ownership shines thru. Quaint garden beds & landscape with a variety of native flowers and plantings perfectly placed. Take a walk around this beautiful, fully fenced, 4.5 acre property.... Locally known as "Totem Acres". Start your adventure by walking around the pumpkin patch to the "Dinosaur" tree. Then, cross over "Little Pelican" Creek, and follow the path to the "Forbidden Forest". Don't forget to stop by the "Secret Garden". Towering trees & bird song will lead you to this one-of-a-kind cabin...custom built in early 1960's by a master carpenter and carver. Supporting the 12 foot beamed and planked ceilings sits a hand carved totem pole inspired by the Northwest Coast Native Americans. Cozy atmosphere in the ideal setting. Roaring fires are a must in the extra-large fireplace! Relax and enjoy the sunsets from your deck. Beauty surrounds... Private. Peaceful. Serene. Special properties like these are few and far between. And this one feels like being on vacation every day... Still only ~20 miles from Champaign. ~10 miles from Kickapoo park. Super low taxes. Tremendous value. Don't delay... You will not want to miss out this one!
