Home, Pond And Outbuildings On Beautiful Eastern IL Acreage

This amazing property is located west of Flat Rock and south of Robinson just off East 300th Ave. There are two entrances to the property; the first is an asphalt drive leading to the house and a detached garage. The second entrance is a rock lane that parallels the crop field and leads back to the barn and shop area. The house was built in 1986 but has been recently updated. There are approximately 2,000 square feet upstairs and an additional 2,000 square feet in the finished basement. The main level offers a large kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinets, and an island. The spacious living room has a wood-burning fireplace and custom Amish bookshelves. Four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are also housed on the main level. An additional room currently serves as a home office with high-speed internet, a desk, and shelves. As you make your way downstairs, you will notice the large, open family room and game room with a pool table and ping pong. There are a few additional rooms in the basement, including a large laundry room and storage area. New carpet and hardwood flooring have been installed throughout the house, along with all new LED lighting. All the home's thermostats and shop areas are Wi-Fi enabled and accessible from a cell phone. The house is hooked to city water and has two additional outdoor hydrants connected to a well for watering plants. The owner has also installed a new water softener and new reverse Osmosis water treatment on the kitchen faucet and refrigerator. All doors in all three buildings are protected by a Samsung security system that can be accessed through your phone. There are also Arlo security cameras integrated with the Samsung system. Off the back of the house, you will find a spacious deck and a breathtaking view of the pond. The pond averages between 9' and 20' deep and is stocked with blue gill, bass, black crappie, grass carp, and channel cat. The pond is also aerated by an air compressor with two distribution to provide a healthy environment for the fish.

The detached garage next to the house is 40'x25' and has two overhead doors. It has a 100 amp electrical service, propane furnace, and electric air conditioning unit. There is a concrete floor with floor drains to take care of winter's melting snow and keep the water out of the building. The garage is wired for satellite TV, WIFI, and land lines. It has both cold and hot water for cleaning up after those projects. Above the garage, you will find additional storage and attic space accessed with a drop-down ladder.

The barn and shop area is 48'x80' and was built in 2014. The shop portion of the barn is 48'x30' and offers almost everything you can ask for. It has a 200 amp service, concrete floor with drains, LED lighting, security camera and video, and an 11' door with opener. The shop area can be heated with a propane heater, or it has an additional wood furnace in the barn area that vents to the shop. The barn portion is 48'x50' and offers several heavy-duty shelves, a piped air system with hose reels, and an 11' overhead door and opener. There is also access to additional storage over the shop area in this portion.

The majority of the property is made up of rolling hardwoods and creek bottoms. A few maintained trails will help you navigate around the property and lead to multiple deer stands. The owner has installed several small bridges to help access and cross small ditches and creeks. These trails and bridges also aid in getting deer out of the woods with minimal effort. An 11-acre crop field provides some income in the fall when the crop is harvested. This property is also large enough to qualify for landowner deer and turkey tags.

This is truly an unbelievable property in so many ways and offers so much that it is difficult to cover everything. If you have dreamed about getting out in the country and enjoying the sunset over a pond or just watching deer and turkeys walk through your yard, this is the property for you.
