Land with Home for Sale in New Berlin, Illinois
5492 Waverly Rd, New Berlin, IL 62670
This is a special opportunity to own one of the iconic homes in the New Berlin community. The Bergschneider farmhouse sits on just over 8 acres on the edge of town, offering the kind of setting that people dream about. From the long driveway to the classic white fencing, this property has all the charm and character of a true country homestead. The home has been impeccably maintained by the same family for decades, and it shows. That said, it's ready for someone with a vision to bring it into its next chapter. It could use some updating, but the bones, space, and potential are all here. As you walk through the home, picture the possibilities. The layout offers a lot of flexibility. The current formal dining room, for example, has its own door and closet and could easily be used as a main-floor bedroom, home office, or whatever best fits your needs. Outside is where this property really shines. You'll enjoy the peace and privacy of country living with a detached garage, small shed, and open-air barn already in place. About 3 acres are currently tillable and could provide additional income through cash rent. The property was home to cattle for many years- the cattle guard at the driveway remains as a reminder of its farming roots. Whether you're looking for a hobby farm, a country getaway, or a farmhouse you can make your own, opportunities like this don't come along very often. Bring your ideas and see what this incredible property can become.
