Throughout our entire United States there are only 5 state highest points owned by private individuals and now Sullivan Realty is proud to offer the highest point in the state of Illinois for sale ! We believe this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to purchase such a unique and truly one of a kind property. Being the states highest point is the big story with this property but there is so much more here being offered. The 207 acres of property are absolutely magnificent and as the seller repeatedly said "there is not a bad view anywhere on the property". In fact the views are so amazing that from the beautiful back deck you can see definable landmarks in the state of Wisconsin and Iowa over 27 miles away ! Watching a good sunset over that much real estate is breathtaking every single time. Another unique aspect to this 207 acres is that there are 3 owned access points into the property from 3 different directions. This is great in terms of how the property can be used but also allows it to be subdivided if necessary. The owned driveway is over a mile long to get back to the house and as you wind your way up to the house you feel like you have entered a well groomed park. Beautiful large oaks hanging over the driveway as you pass by the 3 fishing ponds on your left and then the beautifully restored 1870's barn on your right just give you a feeling of peace and calm as you head to the top. At the top, the well maintained 3,200 sq ft home is sided with premium stained cedar siding and has an incredible multi-level deck system wrapping around nearly the entire house where it is impossible to go into the house without taking in the views. Flower gardens decorate the exterior bringing wonderful color and beauty to the already amazing scene. This 4 bedroom 3 bath 1996 built home has been meticulously maintained by its owners and is designed to entertain guests with the huge decks and the equally massive great room. New appliances throughout the house as well as a new water heater. The master suite is on the main floor with the remaining bedrooms downstairs. There is also an unfinished section of basement that could be turned into more bedrooms. The house has 220 power, a top of the line Perma Security system and a backup generator system. There is also an unattached 2.5 stall garage and a 24x40 brand new pole barn. Another important aspect of this property is its beautiful farmland acres of high yield tillable which generate a significant income annually. (see agent for more details) Also it cannot be overstated how good the deer hunting is on this farm. Large whitetail bucks are seen on this property all the time and one look at the timber and secluded habitat on this property will get any trophy deer hunter very excited (we are setting cameras now to get pictures of them - stay tuned !) Another important recreation here is snowmobiling in the winter months. It is the favorite past time of the current owner and a huge draw for many others in this area as one of the best snowmobiling trails in the entire area runs across a back corner of the farm. This property is about a 20 minute drive from the beautiful and historic downtown city of Galena IL and about 2.5 hours west of Chicagoland. So whether you are interested in this property because of it being the states highest point, or you simply want a beautiful farm with amazing views to recreate on or possibly see the rental possibilities of such a property, it truly is a special place and a very rare opportunity to own a farm like this. 24 hours notice to show.
