Classic Country Living with Modern Comfort on 5 Acres Nestled along a quiet rural road just outside Watseka, this charming 1.5-story farmhouse offers the perfect blend of functionality, privacy, and updated living. With 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and over 3,000 square feet, this home provides spacious comfort for multi-generational families, hobby farmers, or anyone seeking a peaceful country lifestyle. A standout feature is the thoughtfully designed 2012 addition, which expanded the home to include a bright and airy living room with fireplace and a main-level primary suite complete with tray ceilings and serene views of the surrounding property. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, modern lighting, and granite-style counters, while the adjacent dining area is filled with natural light-perfect for family gatherings. Additional living space includes a cheerful home office/sunroom, large bedrooms, and ample storage throughout. Recent updates add peace of mind, including a new furnace just installed, along with an attached garage and a whole-house generator to keep systems running comfortably year-round. Outside is where this property truly shines for farm living and ag use. The property features four large outbuildings, including 54' x 72', 60' x 80', 45' x 90', and two 30' x 36' buildings, offering exceptional space for equipment storage, workshops, livestock, or business use. In addition, there are five operational grain bins with capacities of 14,000 bu (two bins), 9,000 bu, 7,000 bu, and 6,700 bu. Three bins are equipped with dryers, and all bins feature power sweeps for efficient unloading. The surrounding 5 acres offer open space, mature trees, and endless possibilities-from homesteading and agricultural operations to simply enjoying quiet evenings and weekend bonfires. With a move-in ready interior, recent mechanical updates, and impressive outdoor utility, this property delivers peaceful, practical country living-all within reach.
