Luxury cabin and Chalet guest house overlooking a pond with 40 acres of stunning Jo Daviess County timber land. The 5000 sq ft real log cabin and 1100 sq ft Chalet guest house were made to entertain and house a large family or group of friends. The large master suite is on the main floor with 2 more large bedrooms upstairs and another bedroom suite in the finished basement. The kitchen is large and spacious with both a dining nook/eating area and a large formal dining room off the great room. The large great room is open to the second floor with a beautiful real stone fireplace as the center piece of that room. As mentioned, the finished basement is ready for action with game tables, TV area and wet bar, as well as a wood burning stove to keep things cozy on cold nights. There is also a large and beautiful limestone patio area with campfire pit off the side of the cabin overlooking the pond and timber. The Chalet guest house may be the coolest part of the whole deal as it can be accessed through an enclosed walkway from the main cabin and has its own private access separate from the house as well. The Chalet is basically a large suite with its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen as well as another wood burning stove to cozy things up on winter nights. There is a huge 3 car garage under the Chalet for vehicles and storage. Perhaps the most amazing thing about this entire package is that the entire property is set up to operate completely off the grid with Solar panel and generator system to run everything. No electric bill, no water bill, completely self-sufficient property and with brand new roofing on cabin and Chalet. There is also a 30 x 40 ft log barn/garage with concrete floors, insulated and heated with plenty of room for more vehicles, tractors and toys as well as a workshop area. Last but not least is the gorgeous 40-acre parcel included in this sale. The pond has been mentioned already which is loaded with fish that are easy to catch and the pond has been lined with rocks and an air pump installed to keep water moving. The timber is classic Jo Davies County rolling hills and valleys with mowed trails throughout for hiking and access to hunting locations. The hunting for both deer and turkey on this property is not just good it is excellent, outstanding, way above average. The property and this area in general have high deer numbers and there are some huge bucks living on this 40 acres. They are seen from the cabin on a regular basis! The property is licensed for AIRBNB and books up immediately whenever the owners want to rent it and all the reviews of the guests are top with many 5-star reviews. There is nothing on the market in Jo Daviess County like this property right now so call today to set up a private showing while it is still available!
