Serenity. Tranquility. Opportunity! Have you been craving the peaceful existence provided by rural living? Have you always dreamt of having your own hospitality business? What if you could have a turnkey wedding venue that could double as a BnB, with plenty of private space for you and yours? Welcome to your new life! "The Farm at Tonica" has a 150+ year old peg barn (71x51) with gorgeous beams, just begging to host wedding ceremonies, with an adjacent outbuilding (63x42) perfect for receptions. The original corn crib has been lovingly converted into a bespoke luxury 2-story living quarters, with a gorgeous kitchen, open plan, two full baths, private laundry, RO system, stamped concrete patio, and balcony with a horizon view... The perfect bridal suite! Of course, being 15 minutes from THREE state parks (Starved Rock, Matthiessen, and Buffalo Rock, and a plethora of adorable small town "Main Streets" for fun, it will be a fantastic BnB opportunity!

Modern kitchen and baths, custom cabinetry, hardwood floors, giant family room addition, TONS of finished space in the lower level, RO system, main-floor laundry (other laundry hookups as well), incredible horizon views from all sides, and the list goes on. The sunset views are absolutely breathtaking. One of the outbuildings (81x54) has a massive (54x36) HEATED shop with full bath! With no immediate neighboring homes, over 4 acres, mature trees, nearly 6,000 square feet of living space, FIVE bedrooms, FIVE full baths, attached garage, SEVEN outbuildings, more indoor parking than we have seen before, and gobs of outdoor space for event parking...
