A peaceful retreat or an entertainer's dream, this unique 37.32-acre property combines indescribable rustic beauty with all the modern conveniences you need in a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3175 sq ft home with an attached 2-car garage! Welcome to 1482 South Rocky Hill Road, a beautiful home designed by Milton Schwartz, who relocated a 150-year-old Swedish barn from the Chicago area to build out this exquisite home in 1987, ideally located to enjoy hilltop views of the Mississippi River and lots of privacy. You'll be wowed the moment you enter the large entryway with the peg and beam structure and vaulted rustic wood ceilings. The open living area offers panoramic views of the countryside and river.

Connected to the kitchen is a large Butler's pantry with additional counter space and shelving, a large cast iron sink, and an outside door, making this ideal for canning.
