Located at 17186 North Tolle Lane near Mt. Vernon, Illinois, this exceptional property offers an impressive combination of luxury living, privacy, and outdoor recreation. Situated on 20± acres surrounded by mature timber and abundant wildlife, this custom-built, all-brick home offers approximately 9,270 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and an extensive list of high-end amenities. From the quality craftsmanship and impressive architecture to the beautifully maintained grounds and private recreational opportunities, this property offers a level of comfort, space, and seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find.

As you enter through the gated entrance and follow the asphalt driveway toward the home, the attention to detail becomes immediately apparent. The impressive all-brick exterior features multiple prominent gables, architectural accents, and a grand covered front entrance. A circular driveway, mature trees, and beautifully maintained landscaping complement the home's substantial architecture and create an impressive first impression.

Inside, the home's design is equally impressive. The great room features soaring 22-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and a dramatic two-story wall of windows overlooking the outdoor living areas and surrounding property. The expansive windows flood the room with natural light and create an impressive connection between the home's interior and its private outdoor setting. Spacious rooms, custom finishes, and thoughtfully designed living areas provide an atmosphere that is both elegant and comfortable. Three fireplaces, heated floors, and quality craftsmanship throughout the home further reflect the attention to detail that went into its construction.

The gourmet kitchen features premium Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous counter and preparation space. Designed to accommodate everything from everyday family meals to larger gatherings, the kitchen flows naturally into the surrounding living and entertaining areas. The home offers five spacious bedrooms, including four private en suites, providing an excellent combination of comfort and privacy for family members and guests.

One of the home's most appealing features is the finished walkout lower level. Unlike a traditional basement, this space is exceptionally warm and inviting, with 10-foot ceilings, heated floors, and an abundance of natural light from the walkout side of the home. The openness and natural lighting make it feel like an extension of the main living areas rather than a basement. Complete with a kitchenette and additional living and entertaining space, this level provides tremendous flexibility for hosting guests, relaxing with family, or accommodating extended stays.

Additional interior amenities include a dedicated exercise room, spacious laundry and mudroom areas, and numerous custom features throughout. Geothermal heating, a security system, and an irrigation system add to the home's comfort, efficiency, and convenience.

The rear of the home is just as impressive as the front, with its dramatic two-story windows overlooking the outdoor living areas. A heated swimming pool surrounded by a spacious deck and protective fencing provides an excellent setting for entertaining or relaxing during the warmer months. A screened porch offers additional outdoor living space, while the expansive, beautifully maintained lawn provides plenty of room for outdoor activities. The mature trees and surrounding acreage create a private setting that allows you to enjoy these amenities without sacrificing seclusion.

Beyond the home, the 20± acres are a significant part of what makes this property special. An abundance of mature hardwood timber provides excellent wildlife habitat, natural travel corridors, and the privacy that buyers of recreational properties appreciate. The property supports a tremendous amount of wildlife, particularly quality whitetail deer and wild turkeys, offering excellent opportunities for hunting and wildlife observation right outside your door. A pond featuring a fountain adds another attractive element to the landscape and provides an additional opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.

The combination of mature timber, open lawn areas, water, and diverse wildlife habitat gives this property recreational value that extends well beyond the home itself. Whether your interests include deer and turkey hunting, enjoying the outdoors with family, or simply having the privacy and space that comes with owning your own acreage, this property delivers.

Despite its secluded setting, the property is conveniently located near Mt. Vernon, providing access to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and other amenities without sacrificing the privacy of country living.

Properties offering this combination of substantial living space, high-end construction, extensive amenities, mature timber, and quality recreational acreage are seldom available. Whether you're searching for an exceptional primary residence, a private family estate, or a luxury retreat with outstanding wildlife and recreational opportunities, this property deserves serious consideration.
