Property Description
Earnest money location: TBD A rare Galena Territory log home designed for gathering-featuring four king bedroom suites, each with private baths, dramatic 24-ft cathedral ceilings, and a proven Guest Accommodations License. Tucked among the trees with a hot tub, game room, and access to Territory amenities, this property offers the perfect blend of luxury retreat and investment opportunity. Tucked quietly among the trees in The Galena Territory, this stunning 3,100-square-foot log home feels like the kind of place people dream about owning but rarely find. As you pull up the drive, a beautiful tree line across the front of the property creates a sense of privacy and arrival, welcoming you home every time. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by a dramatic log entryway that opens into a breathtaking great room. Towering 24-foot knotty pine cathedral ceilings, massive hand-peeled collar ties, and floor-to-ceiling trapezoid windows fill the home with natural light and sweeping views of the surrounding woods. Three comfortable couches surround the stone gas fireplace, creating a cozy place to unwind. The open-concept layout flows into the spacious dining area with seating for ten, while the nearby screened porch and deck invite you outside to enjoy the peaceful wooded setting. The main level primary suite features a king bed, dual closets, and a spa-like bath with Jacuzzi tub, skylight, and custom glass walk-in shower. Upstairs, a loft balcony overlooks the great room and leads to another private king bedroom suite. The lower level is designed for entertainment, featuring a game room with a second stone fireplace, TV, pool table, and foosball, with sliding doors leading to a private patio and hot tub tucked among the trees. Two additional king bedroom suites with private baths and a full laundry room complete the level. One of the most unique aspects of this home is the care it has received over the years. The original builder has also served as the property manager, something you rarely see, and the home has been meticulously maintained as a result. Even better, the current manager is interested in continuing to care for the property, offering a seamless transition for the next owner. With four spacious bedrooms, all featuring king beds and private bathrooms, the home comfortably accommodates large groups and offers additional sleeping space throughout. The property also holds a Guest Accommodations License in Jo Daviess County, making it an exceptional opportunity for those looking for a vacation home, investment property, or both. As part of The Galena Territory, owners enjoy access to an incredible range of amenities including the Owners' Club with indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, pickleball and basketball courts, and miles of scenic hiking and walking trails. The Shenandoah Riding Center is nearby, and the charm of historic downtown Galena's shops, dining, and entertainment is just minutes away. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a place to gather with family and friends, or a property that offers both lifestyle and income potential, this log home delivers the full Galena experience.
