Take note of one of Jo Daviess County's most premier properties- this rustic contemporary home features luxurious finishes throughout, incredible panoramic views of the southern sky, unmatched privacy and room to roam with 43.26 +/- country acres including your own private stocked pond nearly 2 acres in size. Set down a paved lane, this 3 bedroom walkout ranch home boasts nearly 3,300 square feet of living space and has been maintained to a level that feels like new construction. Step into a large foyer that flows perfectly into a jaw dropping great room with warm wood clad vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone surround fireplace, and a wide open lodge like feel with large windows that offer a vantage of the entire acreage and beyond. High end finishes can be found throughout including engineered hardwood flooring on the entire main floor, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and custom cabinetry in the kitchen; and a dining room also featuring vaulted wood clad ceilings and direct access to a deck off the south end of the house. Rounding out the main floor is a full bathroom with a walk-in tiled shower and granite double vanity, and a large mudroom with direct access to the rear of the house. The lower level features all three bedrooms, and a massive and impressive master bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a soaking tub surrounded by stone accent walls, and a double vanity with granite tops. The additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill style full bathroom with one of the bedrooms, as well as the master, having direct access to a lower level deck via walk out doors. An additional guest house/in-law suite is a separate structure sitting just to the east of the house with an additional 520 square feet of living space including an open sitting area and kitchenette with granite countertops and custom cabinetry, a cozy lofted sleeping space, and a full bathroom with double vanity and tiled walk-in shower. A large barn with newer metal roofing adds to the country charm but also services as a functioning space for a garage and storage for all of the property maintenance and recreational equipment. Mowed paths make for an easy walk from the house down to the nearly 2 acre stocked pond on the south end of the property. The remainder of the acreage consists of approximately 24 productive tillable acres that produce enough cash rent income to offset most of the property taxes, with the balance being in beautiful hardwood timber plentiful with wildlife. Between fishing in the ponds and being located in one of the highest deer and turkey density locations in the area, this property is an outdoor enthusiast's dream! Not to be overlooked is the fact that the property lies adjacent to the Village of Hanover meaning it is a rare opportunity that a new owner could own a country property that could be annexed into the Village for a more favorable zoning jurisdiction. This means the property could likely be used and succeed as a high end short term rental vacation property. The property is being offer mostly furnished with few exceptions, making it truly a turn key opportunity for it's new owner. This property must be seen firsthand to truly appreciate, so schedule your private viewing today! Buyers must be prequalified or provide verification of funds for showings.
