Land with Home for Sale in Hanover, Illinois
8790 S Gamble Hill Rd, Hanover, IL 61041
Charming log home nestled on 5 acres. Peaceful, quiet, private and the beauty of nature all around. Large hanging oak trees, native flowers, shrubs and wildlife everywhere from butterflies, birds and turkeys to foxes, bobcats and large whitetail bucks. The 2,624 sq.ft. 2 story log home is much larger than what first may be expected. There are 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and the 4th bedroom is a large space that sleeps 4 people in custom made built-in log beds. In fact, all of the beds are custom made log beds that stay with the house and all the built-in hickory cabinets came from trees on the property! The kitchen is open to a spacious living room featuring a real wood burning fireplace which makes the entire open layout of the home super cozy in the winter months. There is a 3-season screened porch which overlooks the park like backyard and a large deck off the porch for further entertaining and grilling. The basement is unfinished but has the potential to be finished for more living space if needed. Another unexpected but welcome feature of the property is that there is both an attached 2.5 stall garage and an unattached 2.5 stall garage so there is plenty of room for atv's, tractors and equipment as well as vehicles. The attached garage comes with heat/AC and work bench/sink area. Of course, the home is also equipped with a good working A/C system to keep things cool in the summer and both the furnace and roof are only around 6 years old, so those big items are good to go for many years. There is also a high-end water softener system that keeps the water in great shape for cleaning more effectively. Overall, this property is perfect as a getaway country retreat with 5 acres to enjoy and besides the enjoyment of this property there are many other destination points in this area. The beautiful and historic town of Galena is less than a 1/2 hour away which is a major attraction for our Chicago friends who come out here for the fine dining, shopping and golfing. The Chestnut Mtn. Ski Resort is also a short drive from this property and there are several wineries in the area with Galena Cellars Winery being a huge attraction. Call today to set up a private showing of this wonderful property! House and 5 acres are subject to zoning approval by the County. Additional acreage is available. See MLS # 202603942 and 202606533.
