Property Description
This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-full bath home offers rare riverfront living on 7.3 serene acres of private wooded land along the Kishwaukee River. Recently refreshed with new siding, roof, and gutters, the property also includes a charming detached 750 sq ft guest residence that provides ideal space for extended family, visitors, or potential rental income (currently leased).

The spacious eat-in kitchen provides ample workspace and opens directly to the outdoor deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The private primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms and a dedicated office offer flexibility for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. A large recreation room on the main floor delivers a versatile living space-perfect for a media area, game room, hobby space, or guest suite.

There is ample storage in the oversized, deep 2.5 car garage. Outside, the property shines with direct frontage on the Kishwaukee River (ideal for fishing, kayaking, and relaxation), private wooded trails throughout, RV hook-up on site, beautiful prairie area with native flowers, a dedicated shooting range, charming tree house for hunting or wildlife viewing, a garden area, a sledding hill for winter fun, and a storage shed.
