Wow! If you’ve been searching for serious space, look no further. With over 3,900 sq ft above grade, this is a rare find. Set on over 8 acres across 3 parcels, this country retreat offers sweeping panoramic views from nearly every window—framing the countryside like a living work of art. This property, located in Joy, IL only 7 miles West of Aledo, even has the nostalgic old red barn. Step into a welcoming 4-season room that sets the tone for the rest of the home—bright, open, and full of possibility. From there, flow into the elegant formal dining room, where the charm of the original farmhouse woodwork has been lovingly preserved. To the left, a generous living room awaits; to the right, a spacious sunlit kitchen equipped for both daily living and entertaining—complete with a center island, double oven, brand-new cooktop, and a stylish stainless steel hood. The main level is designed for convenience, featuring a full bath combined with laundry, two comfortable bedrooms joined by a Jack & Jill bathroom, and a dedicated home office with built-in cabinetry and a picture-perfect view of the surrounding fields—a dream space for remote work or quiet study. Upstairs is where this home really opens up. The massive primary bedroom is a true retreat, with soaring cathedral ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a private half bath. And in the heart of the upper level, wide-open rooms invite endless possibilities—family room, creative studio, play space, you name it.
