17040 Diamond Rd, Fulton, IL 61252

South of Fulton in Whiteside County, Illinois, this 15 +/- acres combines a high-quality ranch home with hunting and recreational ground at the edge of the Mississippi River and Cattail Slough. The home is the last one on dead-end Diamond Road, set up by the road, with the land running out behind it. The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch has quality finishes throughout. A large mudroom is the first stop inside, with room for boots and jackets and direct access to both the house and the attached two-car garage. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, with an eat-in bar and space for a table. It opens to the main living area, which has vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light. A floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace anchors the room and can warm the whole space. French doors lead from the living room to a three-season porch, a good spot to sit and store firewood. The primary bedroom is a good size and has its own bathroom with tile work, a walk-in shower, and a bidet. The second bedroom is also a good size. The third bedroom is on the opposite side of the house and is currently used as an office. A second full bathroom is off the living room. Outside, a shed holds yard equipment and the rear yard is fenced. The garage has room for vehicles or gear. Beyond the house, trails run through a mix of timber, wetlands, and tillable ground. The property has multiple stand locations and 3 acres in the interior suited to food plots. Several fruit trees have been planted throughout the property. The surrounding habitat adds to the wildlife on the property, making it a fit for deer and turkey hunting. The nearby boat launch opens up waterfowl hunting, trapping, and boating on the Mississippi River, and the location gives convenient access to hundreds of acres of cattail slough. Part of the property lies in a floodplain, while the home itself sits in a levied district. Buyers should review flood and levee information with their insurance agent and lender.
