7 ACRES * HILLSIDE RANCH HOME * FINISHED BASEMENT * 3 OUTBUILDINGS * CREEK Tucked away at the end of a long drive, this remarkable 7-acre retreat offers the peace, privacy, and natural beauty that so many buyers dream about but rarely find. Surrounded by mature trees and overlooking a scenic creek, the property feels more like a secluded mountain getaway than Northern Illinois. Watch bald eagles soar overhead, deer and wild turkey wander through the woods, fish or launch a raft from your own backyard, and enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from nearly every room. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend escape from city life, this property offers the perfect balance of comfort and nature. Built by a builder for his own family, this custom hillside ranch was thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the spectacular setting. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a dramatic stone fireplace create an inviting main living area that flows effortlessly into the kitchen, screened porch, deck, and sunroom, all with panoramic views of the creek and surrounding landscape. With over 6,000 square feet of finished living space, including a finished walkout lower level that functions beautifully as guest quarters, related living, or an entertainment space, there is room for everyone. Three outbuildings, an attached heated three-car garage, a detached three-car garage, gardens, wooded acreage, and open green space provide endless opportunities for hobbies, recreation, storage, and outdoor living. The current owners have invested extensively in updates and improvements within the past two years, making this home truly move-in ready. Ask your agent for the Additional Features Sheet which has a complete list of upgrades and improvements. Conveniently located 50 Min to the Rockford Airport; 1 Hour to Galena; 1:45 to the Quad Cities and 2:15 to Chicago. Lines drawn on photos are estimated and do not replace a survey.
