Description

90 acres +/- of classic Jo Daviess countryside with 1,858 square foot 3 bedroom, 2 bath home tucked way off the road in the timber for the ultimate private hunting camp or weekend retreat. This farm is a great mix of 40 acres +/- of income producing tillable acreage and the balance in timber with many elevation changes and excellent wildlife bedding areas. At the end of an over 1/2 mile long farm lane is the house where it is tucked against the base of a south facing hillside and protected from the...90 acres +/- of classic Jo Daviess countryside with 1,858 square foot 3 bedroom, 2 bath home tucked way off the road in the timber for the ultimate private hunting camp or weekend retreat. This farm is a great mix of 40 acres +/- of income producing tillable acreage and the balance in timber with many elevation changes and excellent wildlife bedding areas. At the end of an over 1/2 mile long farm lane is the house where it is tucked against the base of a south facing hillside and protected from the northwest by a huge stand of mature White Pine's. The master bedroom has its own full bath and a bonus room that could either serve as a family room or an extension of the master bedroom to create a full private suite. Bedrooms two and three are both great sized rooms and sit right off of the open kitchen and dining area with large windows looking out over the wooded scenery and a nice stream below the house. An unfinished loft area would make a great space for additional sleeping space or entertaining area. A nice closed in porch is another great spot to kick back and enjoy nature and leads right out to the deck area. An attached garage for storing your property maintenance equipment or vehicle is off the east side of the house. The stream below the house flows year round and could be an excellent location for a pond. A trail systems meanders throughout much of the timber for easy viewing and access to most all part of the property. The timber contains a nice mixture of hardwoods; predominantly Walnut and Oak with some Locust, Elm, Cherry and even some wild Apple trees mixed in. Following along the north side of a the property a long, narrow tillable field extends out across the ridge with a few wooded fingers extending out into the field and presents several great spots for food plots and pinch points for whitetail and turkey. The balance of the tillable ground sits along the road and provides not only additional food for wildlife but a nice buffer between the township road and the timbered area of the property. Look no further if you are in the market for the perfect recreational piece, this property quite literally allows you to step out the door and right into nature. House is being sold in "as-is" condition. Property is located approximately 2.5 hours from Chicago and only 35 minutes from downtown Galena.
