Frontage on Ferson Creek, Your Own Private Pond, and 1.8 Wooded Acres Across Two Premium Parcels - This property isn't just rare-it is an unparalleled masterpiece for those who demand the extraordinary. This estate transcends rarity and exclusivity in the St. Charles real estate market. Among approximately 12,000 homes in the area, fewer than one out of every 200 offers creek frontage. Even more striking, only a handful-fewer than one in every 1,000-feature private ponds. The convergence of these elements, creek frontage and a private streaming pond, makes this property a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, unlikely to be duplicated. Locally, the statistics are extraordinary: Approximately one out of every 200 homes in St. Charles boasts creek frontage, translating to about 60 properties. Homes with private ponds are so rare that they represent fewer than one in 1,000, or roughly 10 properties in the entire area. The combination of creek frontage and a private pond sets this estate apart as truly one of a kind. Nationally, the rarity becomes even more remarkable. Out of an estimated 140 million residential properties in the United States: Creek frontage is found in about one out of every 200 homes, equating to approximately 700,000 properties. Among those, only one in every 10 includes a private pond, narrowing it down to roughly 70,000. Adding significant acreage reduces this number further to only one in 100 of these properties, leaving just 1,400 nationwide that match this level of exclusivity. This places Wild Rose Lane in a category so exclusive, it could be considered among the rarest properties in the nation, a true anomaly in the world of real estate. Built in 1963 and offered for the first time, this mid-century modern ranch has been meticulously maintained, with detailed records preserved since its construction. Imagine mornings spent fishing or kayaking from your private dock, and evenings savoring the tranquility of a property where deer and birds become part of your daily rhythm. With an estimated investment in updates, the value of this property could ascend to new heights, making it a remarkable opportunity to combine exclusivity with equity growth. What Sets This Property Apart: Multi-Generational Living: The home's walk-out basement, with a separate entrance, includes a private apartment ideal for guest accommodations, rental income, or extended family. Nature at Its Finest: Deer, birds, and wildlife enrich every moment. A private dock allows for fishing, kayaking, or simple relaxation by the creek, while a pond-fed sprinkler system ensures effortless maintenance of the lush grounds. Financial Strategy: Thoughtful legal foresight ensured this property avoided annexation into Campton Hills, maintaining an exceptionally low tax rate estimated at just 16,000 annually, fully assessed for the next owner. Dual Parcels: Two premium parcels provide privacy, exclusivity, and significant investment potential, making this estate as financially compelling as it is architecturally unique. Timeless Character: Beneath the carpet in the bedrooms lies original hardwood flooring, waiting to be unveiled and restored. Innovative Convenience: The home features a central vacuum system, offering ease and efficiency. Why Act Now? Properties like Wild Rose Lane don't just stand out-they redefine exclusivity. A home with this blend of frontage, acreage, and unparalleled features is an extraordinary find that appeals to the discerning buyer who values both investment and lifestyle. Whether you envision a private retreat, a multi-generational estate, or a unique portfolio addition, this property offers it all.
