Undisclosed, Hanover, IL 61041

OPEN HOUSE: Saturday 7/17 from 2 - 4 PM! Ranch home built in 2003 on over 26 acres in Jo Daviess County with trails, incredible perennial landscaping, and gorgeous views of the bluffs beyond the trees. Here you get the best of both worlds - acreage without all the maintenance and taxes because the vast majority of the property is in a forest management plan. The entire property, as well as the hundreds of acres of adjoining public land, allows for recreation, hunting, and aesthetics, while only having to mow 1.7 acres! With established asparagus beds, fruit trees, pesticide-free garden, well, and the freedom to bring your livestock, this could be that self-sustaining farmette you have been dreaming of! The home has been well maintained and provides an excellent value with 9' ceilings, abundant windows, a freshly painted interior, and a new roof in 2017. Tall oak cabinets with white subway tile in the kitchen and newer stainless steel appliances. Main level master bedroom with walk-in closet and private bath. Additional bedroom on the main level has french doors and could also be used as a dining room, or office. Another full bath on the main floor as well as a laundry room and abundant storage closets throughout make this home incredibly functional. Attached oversize two-car garage with windows and slat board for organized storage. The lower level is a walk-out with a family room centered around a Hearthstone wood-burning stove that can be the primary source of heat in the winter with the abundance of wood from your forest. A decorative barn door separates a bonus room from the family room and there is plumbing in place for a third bathroom downstairs if you desire. The other half of the full basement is a workshop with an overhead door that opens to the yard and garden, perfect to start your seeds and keep your equipment protected. Access to the property via a private gravel road owned collectively by the three property owners and shared via a written easement. See the associated documents in this listing for a copy of the easement, forestry program, well/septic permits, and a whole-house home inspection that was completed in 2020.
