Listing for the first time ever - a luxurious home that I personally built 13 years ago. This is truly a rare find sitting on 10 convenient and delightful acres. I'm selling to be able to move to another location so I can purchase my boyhood home and look after my parents. We absolutely love this home! This home sits in the heart of one of the most desirable places in the United States to live, with low crime rate, great schools and great neighbors. One of the most appealing features of this property is its location. The buyer will have the best of both worlds, including highway access and a short commute of only 35 minutes or less to the major cities of the I-49 Corridor as well as the comforts of country life. This home is beautifully situated overlooking and adjoining the Illinois River and the property borders the Ozark National Forest, an outdoorsman's dream! There is ample wildlife in the forest and plenty of fish in the river. Bedrooms: This 3200 sq ft beauty boasts of 4 bedrooms, each with its own full bath. Each bedroom is spacious and uniquely designed. Great room: This room has a rustic feel with high ceiling, log mantle over the fireplace, and stone hearth. It is the perfect place to display those trophies and watch a ballgame by a blazing fire. There is a built in gun cabinet to boot. Kitchen: The kitchen is the heart of this home, complete with gorgeous African-granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, island, and is in close proximity to the dining areas. The kitchen has a four burner elect cooktop, microwave, and refrigerator-space, and a dishwasher. Dining: This home has two dining areas. One, a small breakfast area that overlooks the backyard. Enjoy a continuous stream of birds, squirrels, and rabbits. Two, a formal dining area with tall ceiling and arched entries with room for a large table to seat 8-10 people. Library/Office: This room has ample shelving for plenty of books and a built in desk for studies. The ceiling is vaulted. Master Bedroom/Bath: This large room has a variety of lighting options; has a great view; has a sitting area; walk in closet with tons of storage; jacuzzi tub; shower; double sinks with large well lit mirrior. 2-car Garage: The large garage is attached and has a handy automatic opener to keep in your car. There is room for extra freezer and refrigerator too. Other Amenities: This property has a beautiful 40x50 Shop on it with a 12' foot door. It is perfect for storage of your boat, four wheeler, rv, etc. There is ample storage room and an office also. It has stalls for horses, a corral, and a chicken pen for the rural heart. I personally know of more than 50 varieties of trees including a few fruit trees and a few grapes. You will enjoy the gardening and beautiful landscaping too. There seems to always be a new flower popping up in the spring and summer. We have so many birds (I feed year-round) you will think you are at the zoo! It is not uncommon to see 30 plus hummingbirds at a time in the summer and 30-40 cardinals at a time in the winter! The doves stay all year. The Martin houses have an annual family or two dwelling inside. There is a wide spectrum of birds depending on the season. You will not find another place like this one. You can hunt and fish from the back yard and still get to your job on time. Don't miss this rare opportunity for a very special place.
