Property Description
Luxury Victorian Estate & Wedding Venue On 10 Acres. A rare and extraordinary offering, this breathtaking turn of the century Victorian estate is gracefully set atop a gentle knoll with sweeping views of the picturesque countryside just north of Hinckley. Rich in history, elegance, and opportunity, this property presents an exceptional setting for a luxury residence, destination wedding venue, or both. The stately 4 bedroom farmhouse showcases timeless architectural beauty, beginning with a dramatic open staircase that immediately sets the tone. Sun-filled living spaces, multiple original pocket doors, and exquisite period woodwork reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The formal dining room features built in cabinetry and a classic butler's pantry, perfect for hosting intimate dinners or large-scale celebrations. Tasteful updates, including a bright and inviting kitchen and renovated bathrooms, blend modern comfort with historic charm. Designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining, the home offers front and rear staircases, generously sized bedrooms, a massive walk up attic for storage or future expansion, and a walkout basement, rare for homes of this age. Extensive updates include electrical, roof, windows, and more, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Beyond the home, the estate unfolds into a truly remarkable venue setting. Ten beautifully wooded acres provide endless possibilities for ceremonies, receptions, photography backdrops, and outdoor gatherings. Plus a great place for a hobby farm, to bring your animals and pets. A great 60' x 150' Morton pole building with a newer concrete floor and charming covered front porch offers the perfect canvas for a reception hall, event space, or showcase for antique farm equipment. Additional historic outbuildings enhance both function and character, including the original dairy barn with milk house and pump house, a dedicated shop building, grain bin, and a converted corn crib now serving as a heated workshop. Even the former hog house offers flexible space ideal for storage, creative studios, or event support use. A truly iconic feature of the property is the pristine 50' Aermotor antique windmill-an unforgettable visual landmark that adds authenticity, charm, and striking appeal for wedding photography and guests alike. Zoned for wedding venues and ideally located near major highways, this estate offers convenient access while maintaining a serene, private atmosphere. Situated in the highly sought after Hinckley School District, it combines investment potential with lifestyle excellence. Whether envisioned as a luxury country retreat, a premier wedding and event destination, or a legacy property to be cherished for generations, this one of a kind estate delivers unmatched beauty, versatility, and presence. Opportunities like this are exceedingly rare, this is a property that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
