Welcome to this stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom farmhouse situated on 6.6 acres in the desirable Somonauk School District. Completely rebuilt in 2019 and 2020, this 3,400 sq. ft. home offers the perfect blend of modern upgrades and classic farmhouse charm. From the moment you step inside, you'll be impressed by the open-concept living and dining area, highlighted by a full masonry fireplace - an ideal space for entertaining and family gatherings. The spacious kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring new cabinets, quartz countertops, a large island, eat-in space, tile flooring, and a convenient pot filler above the stove. The walk-in pantry provides plenty of storage, making it easy to keep everything organized. The primary suite is a true retreat with a massive bedroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and a luxurious primary bathroom featuring a double vanity, jetted tub, and walk-in shower. The remaining four bedrooms are also generously sized, offering ample space for family and guests. All bathrooms are updated with quartz countertops. For added convenience, the laundry room is located on the second level, along with a cozy sitting area. Outside, the property truly shines. Sitting on a knoll, the home offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, including a native plant nursery to the east. Mature trees, including a pine tree windbreak to the north and west, provide natural protection from winter winds. The property also features three newly planted apple trees - Yellow Apple, Pink Lady, and Red Delicious - which are on the verge of production. Raised garden beds and three outdoor hydrants (new in 2022) make it easy to care for the land and livestock. The 50' x 80' pole barn is a standout feature, with a 15' truss height, 15' x 24' sliding doors, a gravel floor, and a 10' x 30' concrete area where livestock pens are built. Above the pens is a loft area for storing hay, bedding, and feed. To the east of the pole barn is a fenced pasture with a 30' x 40' concrete pad. A 30' round grain bin foundation has been repurposed into an outdoor gathering space - a great start to building your very own grain bin gazebo! Animal lovers will appreciate the brand-new 8' x 12' chicken coop with an outdoor run, perfect for starting your own flock and saving on rising egg prices. The property also includes 1.8 acres of tillable ground currently planted with prairie grass - ideal for expanding pasture or growing livestock hay. Additional upgrades include hardy board siding, new mulch, a new service sidewalk, and a newly built playhouse (early 2025). The home is serviced by 325 amps, and a new 200-amp service was added to the pole barn in 2024, providing plenty of room for future expansion. The 21' x 23' attached two-car garage includes a brand-new refrigerator, perfect for egg stockpile storage!!! This is truly a one-of-a-kind property that combines modern convenience with farm-style living. Don't miss the chance to make this incredible farmhouse your forever home!
