Large private courtyard -perfect for larger gatherings. 2 separate basements, with one roughed in for an additional bathroom, with egress & lookout with windows & 9'foot ceilings. The property is served by two furnaces, two air conditioning systems, and separate septic systems. A spacious 4+ car garage provides abundant room for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or workshop space. Surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery, the setting feels like your own private retreat. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to nature, with the Virgil Gilman Nature Trail nearby and the opportunity to launch your own kayak or canoe into BlackBerry Creek. Conveniently located just minutes from Orchard Road, I-88, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, this property offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. A rare opportunity with incredible potential-this one must be seen to be truly appreciated. Enjoy a truly private estate setting surrounded by Kane County's renowned forest preserves, miles of scenic trails, and the natural beauty of Blackberry Creek.

A rare opportunity to own acreage in a location where nature and convenience come together." For buyers relocating from Naperville, Wheaton, or Chicago, the combination of 3+ acres, forest preserve surroundings, Blackberry Creek, and quick access to I-88 is highly unusual and will be a major draw. This is the type of property that feels like a rural retreat while still being within commuting distance of the western suburbs.
