Experience the Ultimate Retreat Nestled just 90 minutes from Chicago's suburbs, this ranch offers a breathtaking 55-acre haven designed for those who seek both adventure and tranquility. This extraordinary property provides endless recreational possibilities and a serene escape from city life. As you approach the ranch, you're greeted by over 20 fenced acres, a perfect home for a variety of majestic animals including horses, bison, elk, or Highland cattle-each of which has graced this ranch in the past. The sprawling ranch home is an architectural delight, featuring five generous bedrooms and four bathrooms. High ceilings, exquisite wood floors, and cozy spaces create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The heart of the home is the eat-in kitchen, where granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances blend seamlessly with the warmth of the wood burner. The adjacent large dining room, with its vaulted ceilings and balcony access, is ideal for gatherings and enjoying panoramic views. The home includes an in-law wing complete with a kitchenette, a sleeping loft, bathroom, and a bedroom. This thoughtful addition ensures comfort and privacy for all family members. The walkout lower level further expands your living space with two additional bedrooms, a family room, and a spacious rec room. The deck, equipped with an outlet for a hot tub, invites you to unwind and take in the surrounding beauty. Outbuildings on the property are as impressive as the home itself. A 30 x 50 insulated metal shop, with an attached 17 x 30 heated workshop, offers endless possibilities for hobbies or business ventures. The restored historic barn, featuring a heated tack room and stalls, is perfect for equestrian enthusiasts. Additional structures, including a brooder house, chicken coop, and smokehouse, provide ample storage and functionality. The ranch's two miles of wide trails wind through the property, ideal for Jeeps, side-by-sides, hiking, and more. A spring-fed pond and creek at the front of the property, combined with a wildlife pond and dense woods at the back, create a picturesque landscape teeming with deer and other wildlife. Thousands of trees, alongside stunning sunrises and sunsets, enhance the ranch's peaceful and scenic allure. This ranch has been meticulously developed over the past 30 years, reflecting the owner's dedication and vision. This property is truly an oasis of peace and adventure-an exceptional opportunity that should not be missed. By appointment only. Pre-approved buyers only.
