    Overview

    Converted School house (1854, 1954, 1969, 2020) Hand fitted timber frame balloon construction solid. Small all concrete basement and steps added next to schoolhouse and covered by garage and 22' sq room added. Spa/pool added 2020 8x15x7deep with bi-fold floor doors making it vanish and sealed instantly. New roof extends 4' past wall for shade. Massive hidden 18" concrete tower base for turbine or antenna. circle drive with large parking areas. Fabulous view of 100 miles of sky on 14' roof deck. Kishwaukee river is 2 miles north and property is ~850', never flooded, always a breeze. Not flat farm land as a 1000 acre bowl to the south view drop ~100' in 1/10 mile overlooking a fresh 10 acre forest. Neighboring are 3 grain farms and can't be hit with a golf ball. Surrounding field is owned by a college and you will never have a neighbor. It's currently illegal in this county to split up farmland. Commuters dream (I was), house is exactly 10 miles from I88 and I90 on the same road that splits the NIU campus in DeKalb. 3 towns >100,000+ with all services, 3 trauma centers, 6 colleges within 10mile radius. No solar installed, but area targeted with the highest rebates available if interested, also easy to hide off of house.
    What the owner loves about this home
    I commuted a lot and hated having close neighbors, I could see and hear. I can be in Rockford or O'hare airports on good roads in 45 mins, three towns full of college life and industrial/retail centers in 20 minutes. Home to open sky's peace and privacy. 20 forest preserves and maintained trails in 10 mile radius, 2 miles from Kishwaukee river, yet eye height to Willis tower in Chicago (~850'?). Not a flat area
