Residential Land with Home for Sale in Plano, Illinois
12712 River Rd, Plano, IL 60545
This custom-built log home is a stunning retreat, nestled on a sprawling 4.84-acre lot with 245 feet of private river frontage. This is the first time this exceptional property has been on the market and is a diamond in the rough, waiting for a buyer with a vision to bring its original beauty back to life. The home's design evokes the feel of a Northwoods cabin, with a dramatic vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows that create an open, airy atmosphere. Kayaking, canoeing and swimming right off your own property with direct river access. With 3 bedrooms (2 on main floor) including a master suite with loft on the second floor, there's plenty of room for everyone. Vaulted ceiling and expanse of windows gives the home an open floor plan with the feel of being in the Northwoods. The property is surrounded by a forest of mature trees and the acreage leading to the river is flat making it the ideal spot for outdoor celebrations and activities. The property also includes a 36'X24' Morton pole barn with large loft and two other outbuildings, giving you a total of three versatile spaces for storage, a workshop, or hobbies. The full, walk-out basement with a roughed-in full bath offers even more potential. Yorkville schools. This is an estate and sold as-is.
