Charming farmhouse retreat nestled on 10 wooded acres, located just minutes from Historic Woodstock Square, the Metra Station, and plenty of shopping and dining options. This rare and versatile property offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Zoned Agriculture with no covenants or restrictions, it's ideal for hunting, horses, livestock, or simply enjoying the freedom of country living. Meandering trails wind through the mature woods, inviting exploration, recreation, or quiet moments in nature. Wildlife is plentiful, and nearby Marengo Ridge Conservation-offering over 800 acres of protected land-adds even more opportunity for outdoor adventure. The updated farmhouse features 2 bedrooms, a cozy four-seasons room, and warm rustic finishes that make it feel like home. Rich teak hardwood floors, custom knotty alder pine cabinetry, a wood-burning stove, and a stunning wood-accented ceiling in the primary bedroom add character throughout. Step outside to the spacious 16x25 patio and soak in the views-this property sits near one of the highest elevations in McHenry County, offering peaceful rolling terrain and fresh country air. A small but functional outbuilding provides excellent storage and space for hobbies. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, a hunter's retreat, or a place to bring your animals and live freely, this truly special property offers endless possibilities and timeless charm. Properties like this don't come around often-come experience it for yourself.
