Property Description
Rare Opportunity to Own a Legacy Property Welcome to your own private retreat--a place where generations gather, lifelong traditions are created, and every weekend feels like an escape. Nestled on 11 wooded acres rich with wildlife, this remarkable property has been cherished as a destination for family adventures, peaceful evenings, and unforgettable memories. Imagine mornings spent fishing in your stocked pond, afternoons exploring private trails, target shooting, or hunting on your own land, and evenings around the campfire beneath the stars. In the winter, the sledding hill becomes the backdrop for laughter and family traditions. Whether you're hosting holidays, weekend getaways, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of nature, this property was designed to be experienced--not just lived in. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a warm and inviting layout with expansive windows that bring the outdoors in, while the unfinished basement provides endless possibilities to customize additional living or recreational space. The impressive L-shaped pole barn (30'50' and 30'60') with a wood-burning stove is ideal for storing recreational vehicles, equipment, toys, or creating the ultimate workshop. Despite feeling worlds away, you'll enjoy the convenience of being just 45 minutes from downtown Chicago, with easy access to major highways and located within the highly sought-after Duneland School Corporation. It's a rare opportunity to enjoy exceptional hunting, abundant wildlife, and complete privacy without sacrificing accessibility. Recent updates include new roof and siding (2024) and a new water heater (2025). Properties like this are more than homes--they become part of a family's story. Come experience the peace, adventure, and memories waiting to be made.
