Description
Only seconds from the Illinois River, this approximately 740 square foot cabin-style home offers a blend of functionality, country living and recent updates that make it well-suited for a full-time residence, weekend getaway or recreational basecamp. The home features two bedrooms and one full bathroom with a simple, efficient layout designed for easy living and low maintenance. Significant improvements were completed in 2024, including a new roof with plywood sheathing and updated insulation installed during the summer of 2024. A new mini-split system was also added in 2024, providing efficient heating. Additional climate control options include a heat pump and a natural gas furnace, offering flexibility and comfort throughout the seasons. The home sits on County Highway 21 and is surrounded by mature woods. Many wildlife travel through the driveway between the house and garage. The location near the Illinois River adds to the property’s appeal, providing convenient access to river recreation, including fishing, boating, and enjoying the surrounding river corridor. A major highlight of the property is the 40’x28’ detached garage with a concrete floor. This versatile structure is heated by a wood stove, which does not convey, and features finished interior walls lined with old barn siding for a rustic look. A bar area and a workbench have been set up inside the garage, making it a functional space for entertaining, hobbies or storage. Prior to the concrete being poured, the garage was plumbed for a toilet, though no septic system has been installed. The acreage is primarily composed of thick, steep timber, offering a rugged river bottom landscape with natural cover and privacy. Trail access runs throughout portions of the property, allowing for easier navigation and recreational use. Timber harvest activity took place in 2022/23. Overall, this property offers a combination of recent updates, a usable outbuilding, wooded acreage and close proximity to the Illinois River, making it a solid option for buyers seeking a manageable home with recreational surroundings.
