    SMOKE HILL FARM IS PERCHED ON 38.5 ACRES OF THE SOUTHERN SLOPES OF THE VALPARAISO MORAINE, featuring hilly terrain and diverse habitats, on elevations of 700-800 feet above sea level. This restored 1920s farmhouse blends historic character with modern comfort updates. The residence spans approximately 2,000 finished square feet and includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, highlighted by a spacious main-floor primary ensuite with walk-in closet. The updated Kitchen with skylights, granite countertops, center island, pantry and stainless steel appliances! An adjacent three season's room with a gas wood stove offers a cozy retreat, while authentic charm radiates from the classic wrap-around front porch and covered rear porch. Peace of mind is ensured by Anderson windows, interior painted in 2026, a new furnace and central air system installed in 2022 and an asphalt and brick driveway. The estate's infrastructure is equally impressive, featuring a three-car detached garage and a 60x100 pole barn set up for immediate use as a small equestrian barn with three horse stalls, an indoor riding arena, outside paddock, and a dedicated well separate from the house. Approximately nine acres of the property remain in hay production, and a third outbuilding provides excellent storage or the potential for a chicken coop. The land itself is a natural moraine masterpiece defined by rolling hills and a lush canopy of mature oak, maple, beech, and walnut trees. Walking and riding paths meander through the acreage, which also features a site perfectly suited for the future creation of a pond. With two driveway permits providing access from both Division ( approx. 1480 ft frontage) and Smoke Road ( approx. 1100 ft frontage), this secluded sanctuary offers unparalleled privacy and elevation while remaining just five minutes from the amenities of downtown Valparaiso and only an hour from the heart of Chicago. Rare once-in-a-generation opportunity! SHOWING FOR BACK UP OFFERS!
