This stunning property offers a blend of luxurious resort living and serene countryside charm. Spanning 2.24 acres, this horse property is located within the desirable Indian Creek School District and boasts 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The interior of the home is adorned with high-end finishes throughout, featuring a combination of original refinished hardwood, slate, and travertine flooring. The mudroom is equipped with an extra-large under-mount 33" stainless steel washing sink and a pre-rinse pull-down kitchen faucet. The kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with granite countertops, soft-close white cabinetry, stainless steel professional series grade appliances, and under-mount kitchen lighting. Off of the kitchen you will find the large Family, Formal living and Dining rooms which provide ample space for entertaining or privacy with wood pocket doors and beautiful quarter sawn solid wood paneled staircase leading you to the 2nd floor. The master suite offers a luxurious retreat with an imported handmade copper tub, separate tiled shower and beautiful custom vanity all with German fixtures and faucets. Nicely sized bedrooms with a combination of walk-in and extra-large closets all with wood planked flooring. Additional interior features include a light and bright sunroom with cathedral ceilings, perfect for viewing the expansive back pool area or the pastures and pristine country land. An insulated 3-plus car garage with a pull-down attic staircase is perfect for added storage and a maintenance-free vinyl front porch is quite inviting. The exterior of the property is equally impressive, featuring a Hot Springs 5-person hot tub and a two-year-old saline in-ground heated pool with an auto cover, operated by a heat pump. The professional landscaping includes a cedar deck, expansive stone-paved areas, and a custom-built pavilion with 8x8 posts and built-in masonry fireplace. A white vinyl PVC privacy fence surrounds the pool and backyard, but the highlight of this home is the 85 owned solar panel system, reducing the electric bill to around 15 dollars a month. The property also has 200 amp service, ensuring reliable and affordable power for all needs. Equestrian facilities on the property are top-notch, including a 2003 steel barn with three 10x12 white oak stalls with rubber mats, hay loft, tack room and an indoor lunging ring or could be used as additional storage space. The flexible vinyl fencing with white oak posts and an automatic livestock watering system provide convenience and safety for horse care, with electric access in both the pasture and dry lot areas. This property is a perfect haven for horse enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of modern luxury and rural tranquility. The proximity to interstate 88 and 39/51 exchanges adds travel conveniences. Don't miss out on this exceptional opportunity to own a piece of paradise in Malta, IL.
